About Me

Hi, I’m Lilly — the face behind Elite Equine Mobility.

Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began riding as a young girl, spending countless hours at lessons and riding camps before getting my first horse at 12 years old. From that point on, horses were no longer simply a hobby — they became a major part of my life and identity.

Now, at 24, I have spent more than a decade immersed in horses. Throughout my riding career, I have trained and competed across a range of Western and English disciplines. In the later part of my career, my focus has shifted toward young horse development, starting horses under saddle, retraining, and providing horses with calm, correct foundations for their future.

How It All Started

The turning point for me came in 2020, when my main showjumper sustained an injury.

Throughout his rehabilitation, I worked closely with an equine physiotherapist. That experience completely changed the way I understood horses, their bodies, and the importance of correct movement.

I saw firsthand how structured rehabilitation, bodywork, massage, and appropriate movement support could influence a horse’s recovery, comfort, and long-term performance.

It sparked a deep passion for equine bodywork, mobility, and performance maintenance — not only for elite competition horses, but for horses of every age, discipline, and stage of life.

My Experience With Horses

Alongside developing Elite Equine Mobility, I have gained extensive hands-on experience working with horses in a variety of environments.

Throughout my riding career, I have trained and competed across a wide range of Western and English disciplines. This experience has allowed me to work with horses of different breeds, ages, temperaments, training levels, and physical demands.

In more recent years, I have focused strongly on young horse development, starting horses under saddle, retraining, and helping horses establish calm, correct, and ethical foundations for their ridden careers.

In 2024, I completed my Diploma of Equitation Science through ESI International under Dr Andrew McLean. I also established LT Horse Training, where I have worked with young horses, performance horses, and racehorses requiring retraining and further education.

You can follow my Equitation Science–based training work through the LT Horse Training social media pages.

This combination of riding, training, practical experience, and academic study has given me a well-rounded understanding of how horses move, learn, and develop both physically and mentally.

My Qualifications

I have completed:

  • Certificate in Equine Sports Massage through EquestriCare, an ETAA-recognised provider

  • Certificate in Photobiomodulation for Horses through EquestriCare, an ETAA-recognised provider

  • Diploma of Equitation Science through ESI International under Dr Andrew McLean

I continue to expand my knowledge in equine movement, performance, rehabilitation support, mobility, and bodywork.

My Approach

Every horse I work with is treated as an individual.

No two horses move, train, compensate, or hold tension in exactly the same way. For this reason, I begin each appointment with a detailed assessment.

I consider the horse’s movement, posture, muscle tone, flexibility, history, workload, and any visible signs of restriction or discomfort. This allows me to build a clearer picture of what the horse may need on that particular day.

My approach is calm, considered, and centred around understanding the horse before beginning treatment. Each session is adapted according to the horse’s individual responses, comfort, and needs.

My aim is for every horse to finish its session feeling more relaxed, comfortable, and free through its body than when I arrived.

My Philosophy

I believe suppleness is everything.

A horse that can move freely and comfortably is better positioned to perform well, recover effectively, and remain sound throughout its working life.

Whether a horse is young or old, competing at a high level, enjoying recreational riding, or living a quieter lifestyle, maintaining comfortable movement and overall body balance is important.

Bodywork and mobility support should not be viewed as something reserved only for elite performance horses. They can play an important role in:

  • Supporting young horses as their bodies develop

  • Maintaining muscular comfort in working horses

  • Assisting performance horses through training and competition

  • Supporting older horses to remain mobile and comfortable

  • Identifying changes in movement or muscular tension

  • Promoting relaxation and general wellbeing

What I Do

Elite Equine Mobility offers:

  • Equine sports massage

  • Photonic therapy

  • Mobility and movement assessments

  • Performance and maintenance packages

I currently provide a mobile service, working with horses of all ages, disciplines, and experience levels.

My focus is on building long-term relationships with owners and providing consistent, individualised care that supports each horse throughout its training, development, and changing needs.
