Hi, I’m Fran

I’m an Equine Musculoskeletal & Rehabilitation Practitioner and the founder of The Honest Equine.

My passion lies in helping horse owners better understand the horses they love. Through a combination of hands-on therapy, movement assessment, rehabilitation support and owner education, I aim to bridge the gap between professional assessment and everyday horse ownership.

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Equine Therapy & Rehabilitation through the University of Lincoln and University Centre Bishop Burton.

Alongside my clinical work, I continue to develop my knowledge through ongoing professional education and practical experience across a wide range of horses and disciplines.

The resources you’ll find here have been created to make complex topics such as posture, movement, compensation patterns, rehabilitation and horse welfare easier to understand. Whether you’re a horse owner looking to learn more, support your horse’s comfort and performance, or simply develop a better eye for what you’re seeing, these guides are designed to provide practical, accessible and evidence-informed education.

Thank you for supporting The Honest Equine. I hope these resources help you feel more confident, informed and empowered in your horse’s journey.
