Equine Bodywork Therapist
As an Equine Sports and Rehabilitation Massage Therapist (cert. ESMT), Ross offers soft-tissue bodywork sessions alongside applying his knowledge of equine biomechanics in improving functional movement, posture and rehabilitation.
Through Rosca Horsemanship, Ross Cooper embodies ‘connection through communication’, his innovative approach to modern day horsemanship, to promote true unison between you and your horse.
With one of the most intuitive styles of horsemanship in the UK, and a background in natural, western and classical horsemanship, Ross does not affiliate solely with any, yet integrates them as one whilst applying key elements in promoting functional and fundamental integrity for the horse.
Ross’s methodology promotes a focus on connection-based training that encompasses the needs of each individual horse, emotional, psychological and physiological, with guidance from the latest behavioural science (Equine Behaviour Consultant/Level 3 Equine Psychology). Built on principles of application, not methods, Ross applies his effective approach over a broad range of hands-on training areas, from behavioural rehabilitation and foundation-based groundwork through to ridden training and advanced horsemanship,, achieving positive lasting results through effective communication in a way the horse can understand.
Working in a relational way inclusive of the dynamics that contribute to the horse-human relationship, Ross integrates perceptive people-skills as an experienced coach (British Reining UKCC Level 2 in Western Riding / ABRS UKCC Level 2 ) with the knowledge of horse and rider biomechanics to provide multi-disciplinary coaching for all skill-sets and ages, whether this be to achieve a long term goal, improve confidence on the ground or enhance skill in a specific area in the saddle, bringing out the best of both of you with his fun, dynamic and effective teaching style.
Centrally located on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, Ross commutes Nationwide to you for private lessons, holding public clinics, demonstrations and workshops throughout the year.
Ross is always approachable to discuss new sessions, new clinics and venue collaborations in the UK, EU and Worldwide.
Ever adding to his practical and academic skills to enhance his own self-development, Ross is trained in a number of energy healing and manual therapies including Reiki, Equine Sports Massage, Humans Sports Massage Therapy and Animal Communication. Ross is also an International Horse Agility Accredited Trainer (HAAT) and author, regularly contributing to several of the UK’s leading equestrian magazines.
