The Unfixable Investigation
For the horses no one else can explain.
A dedication to my beautiful mare, Tao, who was my first unfixable.Â
The Horses Everyone Gave Up On
You know the type.
The horse who’s been through vet after vet, trainer after trainer. The one who eats money but never gets better.
The one who makes you feel guilty, helpless, or even ashamed.
Maybe you’ve heard these lines:
-
“There’s nothing wrong with him, he just needs a job.”
-
“It’s in your head.”
-
“This is just how this breed is.”
-
“Time to move him on.”
Meanwhile your gut says: no. Something is being missed.
You’re tired of opinions. You want answers.
& that’s what this investigation is designed to deliver.
Why Me? Because This Is My Life’s Work & Purpose
I didn’t stumble into this work. I built it, piece by piece, over years of devotion.
-
I began as a riding school instructor, teaching beginners on a cavalry of school horses - most of them rehabbed from racing, abuse, neglect. Horses from every background imaginable passed through my hands.
-
I trained across the breadth of equine sciences - behaviour, physiology, biomechanics, pathology. If there was a reliable book, paper, or training, I consumed it.
-
Early on, I was spotting patterns most people missed. I recognised my first colic before it actually hit. Vets, bodyworkers, farriers that had been in the game a long time started trusting my eyes, my interpretations.Â
-
As my career progressed, so did the complexity of the cases:
-
Horses with peritonitis, written off as hopeless - rehabbed to a dignified life with one remaining kidney.
-
Broken thoroughbreds, labelled “dangerous,” who are now calm companions.
-
Horses plagued with so many overlapping issues, it was impossible to untangle until we found the gentlest entry point and started there.
-
Cases of kissing spine, ECVM, parasitic illness, abuse-related trauma. Horses everyone else saw as lost causes, I saw as souls needing help.
-
Each of those horses is living proof that when you look at the whole horse - not just one piece - the truth reveals itself.
What Is The Unfixable Investigation?
This is not a “session.” It’s not another voice in the noise or another trainer off Facebook wanting a go at solving an impossible case. It’s a full-spectrum investigation by an experienced specialist that brings the whole picture into focus.
Here’s how it works:
1. Deep Assessment
-
If you’re within my travel range (Luxembourg, Belgium, NE France): I come in person.
-
If you’re further afield: we do it remotely, through video, detailed history, and records.
-
Either way, I don’t just look at the horse. I look at the full system - body, psyche, environment, rider, human.
2. Behind-the-Scenes Investigation
-
I spend hours reviewing vet records, management, nutrition, training history.
-
I cross-reference behaviour with pathology, biomechanics with psychology.
-
I consult with my trusted vet network if needed.
-
I leave no stone unturned until the picture is clear.
3. The Report
-
A written roadmap spelling out what’s really going on.
-
Options for the path forward: rehab, adaptation, or humane letting go.
-
Always starting at the gentlest possible entry point.
4. Follow-Up Support (30 Days)
-
Weekly check-ins via WhatsApp or voice note.
-
One 60-min call to adapt, refine, and answer your questions.
The Truth (and Why It Matters)
Not every horse can be “fixed.”
Some horses will never return to competition. Some will need a lighter life. Some, heartbreakingly, will tell us it’s time to let go.
But what I can promise is this:
-
You will finally know the truth of your horse’s condition.
-
You will have a clear plan for what is possible and what is not.
-
You will never again be trapped in the cycle of guesswork, blame, and wasted money.
The relief that comes from clarity is profound.
For you and for your horse.
Who This Is For
-
Owners at the end of their rope who refuse to give up without answers.
-
Horses labelled “crazy,” “difficult,” “dangerous,” or “hopeless.”
-
Professionals who want a whole-horse lens to complement their own expertise.
Next Step
If your horse belongs in The Unfixable Investigation, the first step is to apply.
I review every application personally and only accept cases where I know I can bring clarity.
Why This Matters
Every horse I’ve taken on through this process - from colic to peritonitis, kissing spine to ECVM - has been honoured with the dignity of truth.
Some have found their way back to comfort.
Some have found their way into a new way of living.
Some have been given the peace of a kind goodbye.
Whatever the path, they were never abandoned to limbo.
And neither will you be.
Investment
-
Regional (Lux, BE, FR within 2 hrs): from 600€
-
Remote (video + records): from 400€
I take only a limited number of investigations per month to give each horse the depth and attention they deserve.

Not every horse can be fixed. But every horse deserves the truth.
