The Inner Picture is
owned by Clare Ellam who has had an extensive
involvement with horses from an early age. Her
experience is broad and covers a variety of disciplines
including Eventing, Show Jumping and Racing, both
Thoroughbred and Arab, as a trainer and Jockey.
In the early stages of
her career, Clare developed a strong interest in the
locomotive of the horse and realised that to get the
best possible results the horses had to be in peak
physical condition, both mentally and physically. This
interest was furthered with additional
research into blood circulation, equine massage and thermal imaging.
Having worked on a yard
that specialised in rehabilitation for racehorses, and
horses that were not performing to their optimum level,
Clare realised that thermal imaging provided an
excellent way to identify heat anomalies within the
horse’s anatomy, areas that often had symptoms but
showed no visible sign of injury. Coupled with her
knowledge of blood circulation, the infrared images
provided a useful tool that signified areas where the
blood flow was poor, or the area inflamed, usually
indicating a problem requiring treatment.
Clare has now taken this interest
further and set up her own company, “The Inner Picture”.
Her objective is to work closely with both performance
and individually owned horses that are experiencing
problems, providing the owners with an instant visual
aid enabling them to provide the most appropriate
treatment to restore the horse back to optimum
performance. |
