Hello and welcome to Shanto Equine, where equine helping, healing and learning are promoted to the highest standard.

Sheaffe Monteith is an Equine Touch practitioner and a student of Intelligent Horsemanship. For more information about Equine Touch, click here. If you are interested in receiving some sessions for your horse, please contact Sheaffe on +353-(0)87-2034236 or email to discuss further. Sheaffe is also available to do demonstrations on Equine Touch so you can learn more about this bodywork system.

Sheaffe and Anthony are also lucky enough to study under Jim Masterson, the Equine Massage Therapist for the United States Equestrian Team (Endurance) at the 2008 FEI World Endurance Championships in Terengganu, Malaysia, and the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. Jim's practical equine massage courses teach a unique method of bodywork that recognizes and follows the visual responses of the horse to touch, to find and release accumulated muscle and structural stress in key junctions of the horse's body that most affect performance. Sheaffe has recently completed her Phase 1 and is looking forward to her case studies now for Phase 2. If you would like to offer your horse for a free session as a case study, please contact her.

After another exciting and successful year with two full courses in Ireland, we must now wait until next year for Jim's return. Keep an eye on his website for tour dates throughout Eurpoe and America, Masterson Method. Please contact Sheaffe by email or phone (+353 (0)87 2034236) for more details on Irish dates. The courses are open to all, from the horse-lover to the therapist to the competition rider. No previous experience or knowledge is necessary but some confidence around horses is an advantage.

Please keep checking back here for more details on Sheaffe's progress as a natural horse-person and more up and coming events we are promoting.
