Nikki van Zyl has run Head 2 Hoof Sync for 8 years. Nikki is a fully qualified Equine Bowen Therapist and holds a Bachelor Degree in Equine Science. She has done work personally with Dr. Kerry Ridgway (Institute for Equine Therapeutic Options USA) and Manolo Mendez (Manolo Mendez Dressage) in the UK on acupressure, red light, body assessment and straightness training.

 

After also doing some work alongside saddle-fitters, dentists and farriers after her Diploma, Nikki has developed a wide understanding of the factors which affect our domestic horses and how any issues in these areas can quickly be picked up through their effect on the body and so corrected to a fuller extent.
