About Lotty Merry

Lotty Merry has had over 30 years experience with horses, firstly competing in several different spheres, mainly at local level.

In 1988 she trained with Sue Featherstone in Hertfordshire and competed ABRS grooms certificate.

In 1989 she worked at a large livery yard, Staggs End Equestrian near St Albans in Herts.

After a back problem Lotty had to stop working directly with horses and enjoyed owning a TB gelding, Sevan, with whom she competed. Mainly doing Hunter Trials, ODE and some showjumping.

After a change in circumstances in 2002, Lotty took her HGV test, and then began training in The Bowen Technique in 2003 with the ECBS (European College of Bowen Studies), becoming qualified to treat humans in 2004. She also completed the ITEC Anatomy & Physiology plus Massage diploma 2004.

With her initial passion always being horses, Lotty then trained to treat horses and qualified in 2005. She now runs a very busy practice both from home and mobile around Somerset and surrounding counties.

Lotty met Adrian in 2005 after attending a Biomechanics course in California USA (airports have a lot to answer for), and in September 2006 they moved into Rose Farm, Catcott.

Lotty completed a 5 day equine dissection course with Dr Deb Bennett in the USA 2007, and following that, she has been given a skeleton of her own.

2008 was our breeding year - in May, Minnie and Milly gave birth to the foals, Chaos and Fiasco and they have been full of mischief, keeping life interesting, now at a year old they are starting the exciting things like bandaging, travel etc. 
Also in May 2008, Lotty purchased another youngster, TC, from the local sales, TC is a Polish Warmblood coloured mare to bring on.

2008 also saw the start of the Equine Bowen courses and later that year we began a series of Equine Stretch Days and added the 3 day Laser course.
