“With a gentle manner and quiet pressure, in a few minutes, Wes had calmed my horse’s and my heart rates significantly. When strained muscles and sore backs manifested, Wes’s Equine Muscle Release Therapy and Bowen Therapy eased the situation.
As a newcomer to Bowen Therapy, without fully understanding the science and art, I was impressed by the results every time and especially by Wes’s kindly, quiet and thorough holistic approach.”

“I have been using Wes’ services for Romero and myself for the past 18 months. I was fortunate enough to have Wes sponsor me for the FAW Marathon in 2014 – what a difference it made. Romero remained free and happy and neither of us had any soreness at all after riding 320klms. I believe this was all due to the EMRT treatments we had before and during marathon. I like to keep myself as a rider as straight and balanced as possible as it impacts on your horses wellbeing.
I not only used Wes for Marathon but he is a regular visitor to our place to treat Romero. I can see and feel the difference after Romero has had a treatment. In late 2014 I used Wes to give Romero and myself mini treatments before rides – you could see and feel the difference especially in Romero – he was keen to go but also had a certain calmness about him. It is amazing to watch the changes as Wes is working on your horse. The veins come up as the blood starts flowing around the body, they relax (unfortunately Romero loves to squeal during treatments and frightens the life out of poor Wes)
Romero is 15 years old now and at the peak of his endurance career, with Wes’ help we will keep going for years to come.
Thank you Wes for keeping us in line with your wonderful treatments!”

“As an Endurance Rider for over twenty years I have had a number of challenging horses that at times I have had to utilise unconventional practices or homeopathic alternate treatments to alleviate their anxiety and stress all to varying levels of success. However, since utilising Wes Russell from Horse and Rider Therapy I have had consistent success with his treatments. Wes is an understanding gentleman who is able to work with stressed horses prior to, during and after each Endurance Riding event to achieve a better balanced and aligned horse.
I highly recommend Wes’s treatments for not only challenging horses but also horses in which you want to achieve maximum performance with. You will see when Wes works with the animals they respond almost immediately which has long lasting results. I have utilised Wes’s treatments in different scenarios however I have seen amazing responses from horses that have come off track noticeably distressed and after a quick session, the horses have become relaxed and comfortable, resulting in a significantly reduced strapping time and successful vetting.
My success in this year’s Endurance Riding season when combined with the unrelenting efforts of my strapper, is directly attributable to Wes’s work. I will continue to utilise Wes in future seasons and I recommend him to likeminded riders and strappers.”

Have had the wonderful opportunity to have Wes treat my horses and I am amazed at the change in them all. All horses have bulked up and gaining muscle everyday and all are better balanced in thier ridden work now with huge improvements.
Also had Wes treat my hubby who was having some major pain from old injuries to his shoulder where he could not lift his arm above shoulder level. Now he is able to lift his arms above his head with no pain. And it’s all huge thanks to Wes.
If your considering Wes for anything or EMRT I highly recommend you book your appointment today.
