I've been in the saddle since I was four years old, raised in a horsey family where horses were just part of life. That passion carried me through equine college, university, and into a career working hands-on with horses as an equine sports therapist, treating and rehabilitating horses at some of the top yards in the country.

In 2018, that career came to an abrupt halt. I was diagnosed with Parsonage Turner Syndrome, a rare condition and attack that left me unable to use my right arm. After multiple surgeries and a long recovery, it became clear that I could no longer continue equine bodywork full-time. The hands-on work I'd built my entire career around was no longer something I could rely on doing myself.

It was one of the hardest moments of my journey but it also gave me time to think differently about how horses could be helped to recover. If I couldn't always be there in person, what could I build that would let horses get that same support, even without a therapist's hands?

That question became Equiball a simple, effective, and affordable tool designed to support horses' recovery and wellbeing, built with my partner Josh so that the care I couldn't always give myself could still reach every horse that needed it.
