I’m Christine Wonnacott, founder of East Anglian Equine Sheath Cleaning, covering Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and the eastern half of Cambridgeshire.

 

I have loved horses all my life, being lucky enough to have my own from the age of 10. My first gelding in 1993 had an issue with his sheath whereby he very rarely ever put it away fully. I investigated and removed a large bean, solving the problem, and teaching me from a young age the importance of sheath care. I enjoyed the best partnership with him for the next 20 years.

 

I went to Writtle College in Chelmsford and completed a BTEC ND in Horse Studies, followed by a BSc Hons Degree in Animal Science. After college I have had various roles including Trainee Embryologist in an IVF clinic (for people), Customer Service in the education sector and IT Support. Throughout this time I carried out sheath cleaning on my own horses and for friends, but it was the first lock down in 2020 that gave me the push I needed to start sheath cleaning full time. Now it is my full time occupation and I love it!

 

I have a strong base of really lovely repeat customers and regularly visit new clients too; often for horses that have never been cleaned before or have unknown history. It’s never too late to start. I am calm, quiet and patient and enjoy a very good rapport with horses.

 

I am committed to providing the highest quality of care for all the horses I see, as well as running my business in a professional manner, including always responding to every direct message I receive.
