Holly Davis - Animal Communicator and Therapist
Holly has been working as a professional Horse and general Animal Communicator and Therapist since 1999. She is qualified and fully insured and has appeared in many publications as well as radio and television.
Holly currently writes two magazine columns and teaches workshops and clinics all around the UK. Holly has also written distance learning courses that are run through Stonebridge College.The areas that Holly most enjoys working in are Equine Health and Psychology. Her research and training are ongoing.
Here's an example of one of Holly's CD Workshops
Holly has been 'on board' with Angel Horse right from the start .... in fact, even before our first Angel Horse, Maddie, actually arrived we had a communication session, with her, through Holly!
We did this because Maddie was in a sorry state when we found her. We wanted Maddie to know she was coming to a safe, loving, new home. One thing we specifically wanted to reassure Maddie about was that she would be safe during the hours motorway transit to her new home.
Have you ever seen a horse, who hadn't travelled much at all,
load itself onto a strange lorry? We have !!!
The day we collected her, Maddie walked out of her old stable, up the lorry ramp with no problems, & turned to look at us as, if to say 'Hurry up, let's go!'
Total loading time???? Ohhhh ..... approximately ..... 15 seconds!
We cannot recommend Holly to you highly enough.
When you contact her you'll not only learn more about your animal angels than you ever thought possible, you'll make a new friend too!
'Thank you Holly for everything you have done for us,
and our Angel Horses'!

Jaime Hickman - Equine Podiatrist Equine Podiatry Association UK
Angel Horse says: 'From our own experiences we can tell you that there are people who look after horses feet ..... and then there is Jaime Hickman'.
We cannot recommend Jaime highly enough to you for the total care, treatment and maintenance of the healthy barefoot horse. All three of our horses have been under Jaime's care, Maddie towards the end of her time with us, and both Paddy and Button from the day they came to us.
Jaime's knowledge is vast and we know he constantly strives for more.
( He is also extremely modest and will blush when he reads this!)
More importantly, to us, its' not what Jaime does with your horse's feet its' how he does it that's so very important. Jaime gives the horse the most important thing you can ... time. He gets his job done, and does it extremely well, but never at the expense of the horse.
Maddie was always afraid of anyone touching her feet when she first came to us .... and if you'd seen them you'd understand why. She did not like one particular farrier who came to our yard;so much so that she even got to recognise his van. If you were bringing her in and she saw it arrive she would plant her feet and refuse to move until you reassured her he was not coming to her !!!
When Jaime first came to trim Maddie, she soon relaxed .. .so much so that she fell asleep with one of her hind feet still up on the hoof-jack ... in mid-trim!
Jaime takes the time to ensure the owners understand everything he needs them to about how to care for, and maintain, their barefoot horse on a daily basis for the optimum health, performance and welfare of the horse.
We can tell you that Jaime is not 'anti-shoe'.He says he's 'anti bad shoe' and we know what he means and completely agree.If Jaime thinks your horse is better off shod then he will advise just that.
However, we know that with care, commitment, passion, knowledge and determination you can turn almost any equine foot around to be healthy, sound, strong and barefoot.
Yes, even one as bad as this!
Maddie's feet - June 2008
Here the Hoof wall is cracking and falling away from a weak point where a previous abcess has blown out through the hoof wall, creating a weak point.
Jaime took over trimming Maddie's feet in Summer 2010 and we noticed immediately Maddie's way of going and hoof shape improved dramatically from that first trim onwards. Both Paddy and Button went on to their new homes with sound, healthy, strong bare feet - both 100 % courtesy of the care and time Jaime put into both them ... and us!
Angel Horse says: 'If you're looking for someone to help you care for your barefoot horse we don't think you'll find a better person for the job than Jaime Hickman'

Angel Horse says: 'Terry was higly recommended to us to help our beautiful Angel Horse, Button. Terry and his wife Ann sent Button distance healing and carried out interventions for Button to give her closure to allow her to move forward positively from the issues that had caused her such distress and physical pain. If it hadn't been for Terry and Ann's help we believe we would not have been able to facilitate Button's rehabilitation as well as we have.'
