Hello Peeps, thought you might like to know a little about me, Treena Collins.
I started my working life in the Royal Air Force Dental Branch and after 22 years of service, went into 'Civvi Street' as a Explosives Detection Dog Handler at the O2, London and working part time as a Dental Therapist here in Lincolnshire.
However, my passion has always been with horses and during COVID I became inspired to retrain. I had followed Olivia Renshaw, Veterinary Physiotherapist of Wolds Equine Sports Massage on social media for a time and knew her accredited, certified courses were for me and it was time to pursue my passion, Equine welfare. I gained my first qualification in Equine Sports Massage Therapy in 2021 and then went on to study Bit and Bridle Fit with Horse Bit Fit Academy qualifying in 2023 with distinction as a Consultant.
Lots of CPD and further training have followed including Myofascial Release, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Trigger Point Therapy, Equine Health and Safety, to name but a few.
After qualification I treated some friends horses and ponies in my spare time but in December of 2023 I decided to take a big leap, quit Dentistry for good and set up my own Equine Massage Therapy business enabling me to commit myself totally to you and your horses.
Looking for a business name that was unique, I decided on Gingiberi Equis - which is latin for Ginger Horses and why? I hear you cry, well,
1. I love ginger (especially ginger nut biscuits),
2. I love horses,
3. I'm obsessed with Chestnut horses and
4. I'm a red head.
So If you were wondering, now you know. (by the way I'm not a typical red head - I don't fly off the handle, or am hot headed, I'm very calm and almost horizontal)
I live in Lincolnshire and have 2 working Spaniels Elkie and Siddle and a retired Golden Retriever called Harris (named after Wing Commander 'Bomber' Harris) because he was born near Bomber Command in Lincolnshire and although I haven't owned horses due to being overseas for most of my RAF Career, I have had the privilege of looking after and riding friends horses and ponies.
I continue with riding lessons and I am working my way through the BHS levels. I also work part time as a Groom.
I'm new to blogging but now I am up and running I am excited to share FREE content with you in future blogs, I might even have a go at Vlogging (bear with me).
Let me know what topics you would like to see. If you ever have any questions, please reach out to me at treena@gingiberiequis.com or message me through the social media links on the home page.
I'm really excited to get to know you, your Horses, ponies and donkeys.
