Equine Connection is a Tauranga based business that offers a range of services to help improve equine health and wellbeing.
From a young age Joanna has had a passion for horses, having owned and trained many over the past 25yrs. In her younger years she was a keen competitor attending Pony Club and competing at horse events most weekends.
In 2004 Joanna had the opportunity to travel and work in the UK as a Rider/Groom, training and attending to competition horses, instructing novice riders and grooming horses to grand prix standard. Through this experience she was able to further her skills within the equine industry.
Joanna went on to complete a Diploma in Equine Science with distinction through Oxford University and then completed a course in Equine Bowen Therapy.
Combining her skills and knowledge of biomechanics, Alternative therapies, equine nutrition, equine science, saddle assessing and hoof assessing has allowed her to help improve the well-being and quality of life for many horses.

Joanna's love for horses and her willingness to understand our four legged friends has taken her on a journey of horsemanship, equine communication, equine therapy and rehabilitation.
Throughout her journey she has strived to find the kindest and gentlest way to work with horses and through doing this has achieved great results both as a trainer and as a therapist.
A big part of Joanna's focus is helping owners to build a stronger connection with their equine friends through deeper awareness, knowledge, understanding and body language.
