She also spent a year back in 1999 managing a horse-back safari camp in Zimbabwe. Animals - horses in particular - have always been a great passion for Jo who has had her own horses and dogs from a young age, and worked on yards around the country in various disciplines. She still has a huge passion for riding and is currently bringing on a 5 year old ISH mare who she hopes to event in the future. 

Jo thoroughly enjoys her job and takes great satisfaction in being able to improve the wellbeing, comfort and performance of horses and dogs, as a McTimoney therapist.
