Welcome

I'm Samantha McClements, owner and creator of Wheatbelt Equine Therapies. I have always loved horses. At a young age, my parents sent me to horse camp, hoping that I'd come back hating horses, but I became absolutely obsessed with them! Leading into horse riding lessons, leased my first little Welsh pony, and joined a pony club, show jumping, cross country, and dressage.

 

My first horse, Troy, came when I was sixteen, moving to the Wheatbelt to go to Agriculture High School where I learnt Certificate II in Agriculture and Equine Course Certificate II In Racing, with this transition I had to learn some massage techniques for my horse as he had an injury to his back where I spent a few months rehabbing him, once rehab finished we went into hacking and competing in agriculture shows. After that, I knew that in the future that was what I was aiming to do as my goal.

 

Meeting my horse, Judo, at agriculture school when he was 6 months old. When we first saw each other, it was love at first sight; we had a connection that was one in a million. When he got older, we have been doing endurance riding and also creating a way to keep him fit while doing Day/night shift, on a rotating roster! I love endurance riding it's a time when I can get away with my boy for the weekend and enjoy a ride that keeps us fit and working together. 

After year 12, I went into tafe for Certificate IV of Veterinary Nursing, completing the course. I spent a few years in the vet industry, learning about different animals and looking after horses after procedures/injuries.​

​

In the background, I have been learning Equine Sports Massage Therapy to work beside owners and their horses, to be a reliable therapist to those in need.

​

In the Wheatbelt, I know first-hand how hard it is to find someone who will come out, show up and understand the care needed for horses.
