“Davide has treated my horses, and even myself on numerous occasions, for a number of years now and has been a big part of my success. He keeps my horses strong, supple and performing well and has supported me by travelling to the big events to make sure that the horses are in top form. He is a dedicated worker and always has the horse’s best interest and wellbeing at heart.”

“Davide first treated Vancouver at the Rio olympics 2016, we were very impressed as we noticed immediate benefits. Since then, Davide has been travelling to my stable in Germany to treat all of my competition and training horses and has also been supporting us at the major competitions such as Aachen CHIO and World Equestrian Games, Tryon, USA 2018.
I always notice improvements in the horses performance following Davide’s treatments and it’s a good sign that the horses enjoy their time with him. Davide is an important part of our team.”

“Davide Focardi has been an integral part of Belmont House Stud’s success over the past few years. 3, 4 and 5 year old horses are still developing during the early years of being ridden and often find it hard to cope. Davide’s professional approach and management of injuries and issues with muscular development and structural misalignment has been vital to our sport horse production. I consider Davide a great horseman with extensive knowledge and experience in his field of work.”

“I have known and enjoyed the professional services of Davide Focardi for a number of years.
He is excellent at both accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic treatments. It is very rare when his patients fail to show dramatic and swift improvement.
His candour is reassuring, especially when he occasionally discourages his treatments for particular conditions. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Davide’s services to fellow horsemen”
The late Harold McGahern,
Owner and Breeder of Nation’s Cup & GP Winning Showjumpers.

“Over the years that Davide has been attending my yard he has helped improve horses with pre-existing problems, horses who have picked up injuries, whether at home or while racing, and horses with long term injuries during their rehabilitation period. I consider Davide a valuable member of our team. He is most obliging, provides a professional and consistent service and, most importantly, is interested in treating the horses in the best way to facilitate owners, myself and the overall health and welfare of the horse.”
