I decided to make my passion my work

Hi my name is Shirley Vigdís Sewell, I am an Equine Osteopath and Physiotherapist. I have been interested in horses since a young age and therefore decided to make my passion my work. I had the pleasure to own an Icelandic horse for 6 years as well as working with horses in places renowned for their equine sports such as Iceland, Sweden and Argentina. My love and passion for horses lead me to choosing this profession. Sweden is where I studied the physiotherapy from 2009 at UPH (Utbildningscentrum för Professionell Hästvård) and Equine Osteopathy in Germany at The Vluggen Institute for Equine Osteopathy from 2015. Joining the two modalities together has given me the ability to work with the horses in a more holistic way - taking care of the skeletal system, muscle system, organs and cranio-sacral.

Touring 6 months with the world famous equestrian show, Cavalia

An established therapist in all biggest equine clubs in the UAE, collaborating with the Dubai Equine Hospital and Meydan. For the best possible results I work closely with other equine professionals to asses the horse’s needs and device a suitable treatment plan for them.

I have been working since 2010 with my dream job including touring 6 months with the world famous equestrian show, Cavalia. Now I have the pleasure of living in the UAE since 2014 and treating the horses here. It is my mission to improve the equine welfare in the UAE, bringing it’s horses back to optimal physical condition and creating a community of winners. I look forward to meeting you!
