This big boy🫏 Cooper absolutely loved his session this morning. After understanding what was going on he settled in and enjoyed a deep muscle massage and stretch!💪🏻

Cooper had a quite a sensitive back! After doing a session I was able to pin point his problem and why he was sore! Playing around in his new paddock being silly!

🎉Top Tip Tuesday🎉

Backing Up - Sounds simple, yes? Well it is however what it does for your equine friend is worth the 10mins of your day!

Backing your horse up is extremely beneficial to your horses posture, it is also a great training tool! Backing up allows your horse to become more aware of its overall body, this will encourage the development of coordination, posture and balance. This exercise can happen any where any time!
Example:
✅Before you give your horse its feed, BACK UP
✅At the tie ups, BACK UP
✅Before Mounting/After Dismounting BACK UP
✅Just because? BACK UP

There are many reasons why you should back your horse up daily! Some of those reasons are:
⚡️Kissing Spine
⚡️Joint Issues
⚡️General Back Pain
⚡️Lack of Topline
⚡️Stumbling
⚡️Stifle Issues
and more!!

Benefits of backing up!
💪🏻Strengthening of the core muscles
💪🏻 Recruitment of the thoracic sling
💪🏻 Improved proprioception
💪🏻Better muscle function
💪🏻Stronger quadriceps and gluteals
💪🏻Better forelimb swing phase
💪🏻Improved posture
💪🏻Better balance
💪🏻Establishing new muscle patterns
💪🏻Promotes ligament and muscle flexibility of the lumbo sacral region
💪🏻Better flexion of the thoracolumbar spine

Make sure your horse is 100% at this before adding more onto (adding hills and more steps!)

If you do this send us a pic or a video! 📸

Signs of Release💤

When your horse is in session you may see them pull some pretty strange faces or even fall asleep. This is GOOD ✅

💤Sleeping
👅Licking/Chewing
🥱Yawning
💩Passing Gas/Poop/Urinating and Stomach Sounds
🫁Deep Breathing or Sighing

These are all signs of releases. This means your horse is relaxed and happy, it also means that there is a change happening within the body.

I have added some examples of some clients that love to pull faces!😍

Saddle fitting is one of the most important aspects to riding a horse, and owning a horse.

“One Saddle Fits All” - Let’s talk about it!
👠Would you wear shoes that were to small?
👗Would you wear a belt that was to big?
👙Would you wear clothes that just didn’t suit your body shape?

It’s the same for your horses. If the saddle is too big or to small it will pinch, rub, squeeze and so much more, to the point it can turn your horse sour and put them in pain. When you brought your 4 year old warmblood that has only just been broken, it will now not fit the same saddle as a 7 year old today. As a rider your body shape changes, and your fitness levels change. So do you horses - regular saddle fitting is important!

What to look for, for poor fitting saddles:
👀Anxiety When Saddling
👀Bad Temper
👀Behavioural Issues
👀Cold Back
👀Changes In Performance
👀Dry Spots Under Saddle
👀Girthyness
👀Refuse To Stand When Mounting
👀White Hairs Under When The Saddle Sits

✨Step 1: If your horse is showing these signs reach out for bodywork to see where the pain is coming from and if the issues starts to resolve.

✨Step 2: If the issue is pin pointed to particular areas over multiple sessions, saddle fitting is recommended.

✨Step 3: Seeking a saddle fitter, getting your saddle fitted, then returning to bodywork to help the muscles recover and maintain their natural positions.

*Always seek veterinary assistance if necessary*

Reach out today to discuss your issues and see about getting you on the right track!

✨Before and After✨
This here is Hamish. I have spoken about this beautiful boy before! I always forget to take before and after photos of my clients🤦🏼‍♀️ Today I remembered!

Photo 1:
🫣Ribs are fairly visible
🫣Hind Quarters are sunken in
🫣Spinalis (wither) muscle is slightly sunken in
Photo 2:
✨Ribs have a covering
✨Hindquarters have lifted up slightly
✨Spinalis (wither) muscle has lifted slightly

Even though there is a small difference in these photos, being there in person there was a massive difference which is hard to show on camera! Hamish tends to drag his feet and have a very bad posture. After his sessions he always picks up his feet and has a better posture.

Every change is a step moving forward!

Monday Morning💪🏻
4 ponies done and dusted before it got to hot🔥
I saw many different breeds and problems yesterday, makes for an interesting day!💆🏻‍♀️

Older ponies are one of the most important ones to be receiving treatments! As they get on in there older years they start to experience more pains and stiffness, just like humans! It is important to look after their bodies!

Horse coming back into work benefit from also receiving treatments! This is so you are aware of how your horse is feeling and if there is anything that needs to be addressed before the saddle work comes into play!

Performance horses benefit from treatments to not only help their bodies recover from training and competing but also relaxing their minds and stress levels! A relaxed mind helps the whole body!

If you are unsure if bodywork treatments can and will benefit your horse, please reach out with any questions!
