Movement. Strength. Performance.

Evidence-based online coaching and educational resources, helping active horses and dogs move better, perform stronger and stay healthier.

About Me

Hi, I’m Rosie, founder of StrideLab.

I’ve always had a passion for horses and dogs, and from an early age I knew I wanted a career dedicated to improving their health and wellbeing.

I began my journey by achieving a Distinction in the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management before progressing to Anglia Ruskin University, where I completed a Level 7 Master’s Degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy. My dissertation explored the acute effects of a short-term massage programme on hindlimb kinematics in riding school horses, combining my interest in biomechanics with evidence-based practice.

Alongside my studies, I ran a successful dog walking business and worked as a groom on private family yards, giving me valuable hands-on experience with both companion animals and performance horses.

Since qualifying, I’ve treated a wide range of canine and equine patients, from rehabilitation cases to active competition and working animals. Every patient has reinforced my belief that good movement isn’t just about recovering from injury -it’s about building strength, resilience and longevity.
