~ Welcome to Sprig and Thistle Equine Services ~

My name is Erica Murray and I am the owner and head practioner at Sprig & Thistle Equine Services. I have been around horses for most of my life and I believe I was born with a great understanding and empathy for what is possibly the most beautiful of creatures on this earth. Over the last 6 years I have gained numerous qualifications and certifications in Equine Health making my dream of healing horses come true.
Sprig & Thistle Equine Services offers a Whole Horse approach to wellness. As an Equine Practitioner I specialise in physiotherapy, nutrition and equine psychology. I service a large area with mobile clinics from the Sunshine Coast to Toowoomba and everywhere in between.
We have a range of techniques that we apply to our treatment plans to provide the best possible outcome for your horse. We have RedLight Therapy and Equirelease Equipment that we use in conjunction with hands on therapy procedures.
This massage includes RedLight Therapy, Myofascial release and Trigger Point therapy as well as a full Sports Massage. Allow 60 minutes for this treatment.
Myofascial release is a massage therapy technique useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles. Allow 30 minutes for this treatment.
Red Light has exceptional healing benefits, It stimulates an increase in the blood flow to the different parts of the body making it possible for oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, enabling them to function properly and effectively. Red Light Therapy stimulates the regeneration and repair of injured tissues, reducing pain and inflammation and clears out the dead or degenerated cells. Allow 40 minutes for this treatment.
All of our Equine Nutrition plans are tailored to your horses specific needs and requirements. We carry out an assessment which includes input from the owner in relation to history, habits, personality, health issues, and discipline.
Tailor made nutrition plan covering all dietary requirements. Goals are put in place and monitored. This package includes 2 follow up consultations.
Tailor made herbal and nutraceutical plan. Many common conditions both physical and behavioural can be treated and managed naturally with herbs and nutraceuticals incorporated into the diet.
Just like humans, horses benefit from seasonal herbal remedies and relief. Especially in our Queensland climate and conditions.
All of the above plans , over time may require re-evaluation as changes occur. Whether it is age, exercise, an injury or a change in the horses living environment.
We cover a wide area of training , from Behavioural Issues to Groundwork Lessons and Lameness Rehabilitation.
Equine Physchology Therapy involves an assessment of what the behaviour issue is, we then address causes and possible triggers, once all of the information is gathered and the horse is assessed a training schedule is devised for your horse to enable the desired goal.
It is my belief that when we truly connect with our horse, we can learn to communicate with them on their level enabling us the ability to share a journey with them full of trust, respect and mutual learning and understanding. Allow 40 minutes per session.
These lessons are designed for adults and children alike, teaching you basic horsecare and management, perfect for all horse owners with a wide variety of topics covered including basic first aid, grooming, nutrition and exercise. Allow 40 minutes per session ( we will accept up 3 people / session for the same price )
