About Me

Jo Howie - the first Manx Equinology Equine Body Worker.

~ About Me

With a life-long passion for horses, I have always wanted to help horses to lead comfortable and content lives, but also to help horse and rider achieve their desired results.

My aim is to create a more relaxed and connected relationship between horse and rider. Many issues that owners face with their horse are due to pain, soreness, stiffness or feeling uncomfortable, with the horse trying to tell their owners through biting, bucking, struggling with work or just being grumpy!

As a qualified Equinology Equine Body Worker I am able to work with your horse to determine problem areas and relieve the muscular pain and tension within these areas, to make them more comfortable and able to perform at the best of their ability!
