History with horses:
Always drawn to horses, I managed to keep my first horse against all odds and he came with me to England in 1989.My horses usually 'find' me rather than the other way around and usually have serious problems when they come to me, physically and/or mentally/ emotionally. I am currently with two geldings, 9 and 15 years old respectively, and a 2year old homebred filly.
I have always felt driven to explore every possible way to improve my horses' life and our connection. I found that there is no better teacher than the horses themselves.




Work and Private Life with Horses:
I treat mainly horses (and dogs) with the McTimoney technique and acupuncture. I have occasionally taken horses in to work more intensively with them, using groundwork, work in hand and ridden work as well as conventional and complementary medicine, physiotherapy, adjusting nutrition and management as needed.


Testimonials:

• Lucinda Green: I first met Lissy in 2004 at one of my cross country clinics on the first of a number of difficult horses. She has impressed me with her horsemanship, not just in the saddle but also when helping a fellow rider, whose young event horse had refused to load for more than 3 hours. Within 20 minutes he was walking in and out of the lorry without a problem.
• Karen Mathers (Furzefield Equestrian): "I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you very, very much for all your help in loading my boy at Downlands yesterday. I'm extremely grateful for you kind, unaggressive but positive help..."
• Liz Gill (Saddlecombe Stud, Headley, Surrey): I have known Lissy now for more than 15 years and during that time she has treated a string of horses in our yard with both acupuncture and McTimoney manipulation.  She has always improved their way of going and we have all the horses treated regularly as part of their management to keep them in top shape for competing and training.
• Nicky Booth (Old Peartree Stud): One of our horses, a 4 year old TB gelding, wasn't suitable for racing, so we sent him away to be broken in as a riding horse. He developed a mystery condition involving severe weight loss from behind the withers onwards, excessive sweating and complete loss of energy. After extensive checks and blood tests we were advised by our regular vet that euthanasia seemed the only option. After 3 acupuncture sessions from Lissy he came back into work and has been completely back to normal, even getting quite cheeky.
