Soho Equestrian
Soho Equestrian is a British equestrian brand formed in January 2022. Owners Rob Waine & Bed Franklin run a successful international dressage training centre from their base in Buckinghamshre - UK. Both regularly train clients in the USA and the UAE and developing such a large and diverse client base has given them a great insight into what people really want when it comes to riding wear.
Stuart Equine
Sharon Stuart is a fully trained, qualified and insured Sports Massage Therapist, treating horses and riders. Due to her fascination with anatomy and physiology, coupled with the benefits of massage and the positive effect it had on her human clients, she was interested to learn how this could benefit some of the horses she was training with.
Sharon trained at Richdales Institute and St Mary's University in London before going on to be accepted on to the Equine Sports Massage International Therapy Examination Council course, and trained by world renowned Chartered Physiotherapist and Sports Therapist Mary Bromiley MBE, FCSP SRP RPT(USA), at her Downs House Rehab Centre in Exmoor.
Sharon is the Massage Therapist Partner for British Dressage SW Region, attending BDSW Camps throughout the year.
Equestrian sport relies on two athletes working together - by treating both human and equine, she is able to quickly spot any comparable muscular issues in both horse and rider, working with both to alleviate any issues and prevent future problems. She works with all levels - International Competitors as well as those riders and their steeds who enjoy a happy hack! Regular maintenance is a key factor in keeping combinations healthy and injury free.
Sharon provides the very best in equine and human sports massage, offering a unique approach to each client, and tailoring every treatment to the individual. She looks at issues as a whole and works very closely with Vets, Physio's, Osteopaths and Farriers to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. This ensures that the root causes and influencing factors are addressed, thereby achieving both a short term improvement and a long term change.
She is a member of both ESMA and the SMA, and each year completes hours of additional training in order to keep up with latest developments and research.
