Lisa Williamson owns Total Contact Equine Solutions. She is passionate about sharing the benefits of the Total Contact Saddle, how it delivers comfort for horse and rider and provides a connection to your horse that you just can't get from conventional saddles. The TCS solves many problems that "traditional" saddles can't. It is one size fits all and it will fit your horse, from a Shetland to a Shire, all year round. No regular saddle fitting is needed, you just need to ensure your horse's back is healthy with a regular check from a professional body worker and ensure you use the correct padding underneath to suit you and your horse. https://total-contact.co.uk/

In the recent years, she has also become very passionate about all things trauma and how the emotions affect posture and the nervous system.

Rebecca Jobson is a farrier based in Perthshire. Having completed a BSc (honours) in Zoology after school, Rebecca went travelling to Australia. As part of her year away she worked on a cattle station which had 250 horses they had bred themselves. It was here Rebecca learned about horse behaviour in a large herd and ultimately decided farriery was for her. Rebecca is extremely pro barefoot and has become a hoof boot fitter working alongside the hoof boot shop. She likes to adopt a whole horse approach to her work and recognises there is not a "one size fits all" method to horses. Each horse is different and keeping them sound and pain free is the ultimate goal.
