Welcome
At Supple Horse Massage and Physical Therapy, we’re passionate about helping horses feel and perform at their best. Based in Dublin and working with clients across Ireland, we offer tailored, hands-on equine therapies for horses of all disciplines, from top-level competition horses to happy hackers.
Equine massage and physical therapy is a gentle yet highly effective way to support your horse’s health and performance. Regular sessions with a qualified equine massage therapist can:
-
Improve circulation
-
Reduce muscle tension
-
Increase flexibility and range of motion
-
Optimise muscle function and movement
-
Support healing and recovery
-
Help prevent injuries
-
Keep your horse comfortable and supple
Massage also promotes relaxation and mental focus by releasing natural feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine, supporting both your horse’s physical and emotional well-being.
Including a qualified equine physical therapist in your horse’s care team can make a real difference. Just like your vet, farrier, or physio, we help spot early signs of discomfort before they develop into bigger issues. At Supple Horse, we work closely with you and your team to support long-term soundness with a reliable, flexible service that fits around your routine.
If you have questions about equine massage or how we can help your horse, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch today, we are always here to help!
Testimonials
Incredibly professional and deeply knowledgeable, Denis has been essential in keeping my horse happy, sound and performing at his best despite ongoing physical challenges. He pinpointed problems areas and tailored each session with thorough, thoughtful care. Thanks to his work, my horse continues to compete comfortably and confidently.
My experience with Denis could not have been more seamless and positive. Denis was professional, detail oriented and kind. My horse Kylo is young, has had past injuries and is a bit sensitive; Denis ensured Kylo was always comfortable, and after a short time Kylo absolutely adored him! Communications were very clear and he asked specific questions to better understand the entire situation. Not only did the work he did help Kylo, but he set out a plan how we could continue progression. Kylo showed great improvement throughout the sessions, especially in his hindquarters, neck region tension and remnant swelling associated with some previous leg injuries and scar tissue. I am so thankful for the work that Denis did with Kylo and I will book him in regularly!
I cannot recommend Denis highly enough after he worked on my big 17hh horse. He was patient, empathetic and kind with Donnie and I noticed a huge improvement in Donnie’s mood, physical condition and his suppleness when ridden after only three sessions. Thank you Denis!
From the very first session with my horse Penny, my experience with Denis has been so positive and beneficial. When Denis first started treating Penny she was recovering after treatment for early-stage arthritis/injury to her stifle, so was on limited turnout and exercise. After each session Penny improved and she loved Denis! Denis is so knowledgeable, kind, patient and has a lovely way with horses. Now that Penny is back in full work, regular sessions with Denis are an essential part of her care. She always feels great after, both physically and mentally. I love Denis’s ethos towards horse care and well-being. I highly recommend Denis, he is truly wonderful with both horses and owners.
I was recommended Denis by a trusted friend, and I couldn’t have been happier with his work. My horse was coming back to work after having a foal and his patience and attention to detail has been fantastic. I really appreciate how much time he puts into knowledge sharing so I can do everything I can to support his good work and keep my horse feeling good in between our visits. I would highly recommend him.
