Wow is it wet, and on top of that I’ve been sick.
I’ve now had to reschedule a whole week of work and I’m already full till mid January. I’m desperately trying to find more hours in each day and I really appreciate your patience whilst I reschedule.
Thanks everyone and keep your socks dry!

🐴 Tree'd vs Treeless Saddles: The Pressure's On! 🔬

Our recent pressure mat research reveals surprising insights:
❓Do Tree'd saddles distribute pressure better?
❓Do Treeless saddles allow more natural movement?

Is it that simple?!
There's a lot more to consider, including:
🏇 Rider weight
🏇 Riding duration
🏇 Discipline

Curious? We've got all the details in our latest article.

Naomi is almost 100% full until the end of the year so will be saving the remaining slots for her regular clients.

Please be patient if you send a request as she is on the road most days from 7am - 7pm treating horses which doesn't allow a lot of time to check messages/calls etc.

Some interesting research into nosebands. I’m hoping this will be extended to cover the grackle and also brand specific anatomical bridles.

For the past four years, we have investigated the pressures beneath different nosebands when adjusted from 2.0 to 0.0 finger tightness (0.0 finger adjustment so that the noseband was touching but not compressing the skin).

Poor noseband adjustment could create high pressures that may risk pain or tissue damage. This study is a step forward in providing quantitative data relating to pressures associated with noseband type and fit when adjusted to various tightness’s.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:

🐴No significant difference between noseband pressures when the noseband was adjusted from 2.0 to 1.5 finger tightness.

🐴Noseband pressures were highest on the mandible vs. the lateral aspect of the nasal bones.

🐴No differences were found in noseband pressures between the cavesson, flash or Swedish (crank) noseband types at 2.0 to 0.5 finger tightness.

🐴The Drop noseband had the lowest absolute nasal pressures (mandible pressures not measured) and significantly lower values than the other nosebands. We need to be mindful of the position of the traditional drop. More work needed.

🐴Noseband pressures were lower when ridden in trot, compared with when chewing a treat.

🐴Noseband pressures were cyclical (rise and fall) and not continuous – changing during the stride and the chewing cycle of the horse.

As always, this is a team effort. Thank you to our research assistants, riders, owners and horses.. Thank you to our funders, World Horse Welfare, British Equestrian, Canadian Sport Horse Association, The Worshipful Company of Saddlers and Hartpury University.

Mineral Monday - Copper and Zinc (two of the most common mineral deficiencies seen for our steeds).

I recently mentioned one of the easier visual signs of a Copper deficiency is the red tinge in the coat (for our bay/brown/black horses) or bleaching. We often see this blamed on sun exposure - so on go more rugs. But the fact is, it comes down to the horse's melanin levels. Melanin is the pigment responsible for a horse's coat colour - of which copper and zinc are essential for the production of!

I'd love to tell you Wandilla Mineral Mix is your magic fix for everything 🤪 But what it can do, is help you address nutritional deficiencies, providing nutrients so that the body's biochemistry can perform at its optimum. Every horse is individual, with its own nutritional needs - especially for endocrine dysfunction, high performance, breeding, lactation and growth. We are here to help!

I could not have said this better and it’s something I’m working on with my own barrel horse.
Thanks Poppy Webber - Qualified Saddle Fitter!

Your saddle is not a miracle worker. If your horse is a barrel, and there is a bit of wonkiness somewhere (you or the horse) and your saddle slips to the side… your saddle isn’t necessarily to blame. Instead, get it checked and if it’s ok, work on making the horse less of a barrel shape… and straightening them (and yourself!) up so there is less unevenness.

If your horse has big wide ribs and an itty bitty shoulder… or a girth groove that’s inches in front of the girth line… maybe your saddle slips forward. That’s physics. Your girth will always pull into the narrowest place. Sometimes changing your girth or the girthing on the saddle can help.

If your horse has massive shoulders, and hoiks them up into the air when they jump… those massive shoulders can push the saddle back. That’s physics. Again sometimes girths and girthing can help. But saddles can’t defy the laws of physics.

If you or your horse is uneven then yes we can pad/flock/shim saddles to help. But… working on evening them up is much more beneficial.

Sometimes, in an attempt to hold a saddle still, to fight against the laws of physics (and often to keep the rider happy), we can end up clamping a saddle too much. Personally I would rather see a saddle shunt forward/to the side/backwards a little bit if the alternative is to clamp it too much the other way.
What do you think?

Progress not perfection.
On this stinking hot Brisbane day I was grateful that I have a leave pass, but I also just got cleared to return to work in a few weeks.
I did a round of scheduling last week and will do more tomorrow. Please check your junk emails if you’re waiting to hear from me.
Keep cool and see you soon!

To my wonderful clients who make my business such a success, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I’m looking forward to seeing you all in 2024
