“ At Wolverhampton all weather track…… Milkom Elegance battled to victory in the one-mile-six furlong branded stakes…..’She’s had a hell of a lot of problems with her back and has been treated by Penny Gunter, who is based close to me, and we had her right today’ said trainer Gerald Ham.”
Racing Post 22nd Feb 2005
“I have always been highly cynical of the effectiveness of so called ‘back therapists’, but I have been converted! Penny’s knowledgeable approach and comprehensive treatment of my grade A show jumper Rodeo Star has enabled her to continue competing well into her teens.”
Julie Peak, Rockhampton Equestrian Centre, S Glos
“ As a farrier I often see horses with locomotory problems that are not purely solved by correct shoeing. There is often a related back problem which needs treating. By working with Penny we are able approach the problem from both sides resulting in a happy healthy horse.
Penny also treats my event horses on a regular basis, helping to keep them fit and competing throughout the competitive season so I am able to see the benefits of her work first hand.”
Alex Bragg, Dip WCF, Intermediate Event Rider
“Over the past few years Penny has regularly treated both my horses; Coco and my new horse Vinney. Vinney arrived in a poor condition with a weak back; Penny treated him to relieve the pain and spasm, and also gave us some lunging lessons where she put together a programme to help build his strength and fitness. Vinney and I are now regulars at our riding club dressage and show jumping sessions and I hope we can start some eventing in the summer.”
Martin Britton, Woodspring Riding Club.
“Horses are my livelihood so it is important that they are able to work at their best. I always get Penny to check new horses that come to the yard so we identify any underlying problems before I start working them.
I often recommend Penny to clients if their horses are struggling during lessons so that any physical problems may be treated. Once these have been resolved, Penny is able to give advice on suitable schooling exercises which can be incorporated into lessons.”
Jo Lashley BHSII, Affiliated Event / Dressage Rider
“ Mister RF has suffered from being “crooked” in his pelvis all the time I have had him. He gets regular treatments from Penny which enables him to continue racing, (and winning!) as well as the occasional bit of hunting and one day eventing.”
