💫 Brae — affectionately known by me and many of you as “The Rockstar” 💫
A gentle reminder of how quickly things can change for our horses
30 years young and my absolute favourite — Brae reminded us this week how quickly things can change. The power of EMMETT and the Cold 3B Laser combined provided him with much-needed, almost instant relief. 💜
Most of you who follow this page have seen or heard me mention Brae in many posts over the years. He’s been a familiar face and a special part of my journey — a true Rockstar in every sense of the word.
At 30 years old, Brae continues to receive the very best care from his devoted owner, Roz — regular bodywork, veterinary and farrier attention, a well-balanced diet, joint supplementation, and ongoing Pentazan injections (currently every 8 weeks, soon to move to 4 weeks under veterinary advice).
Despite all of this, Roz noticed earlier in the week that Brae wasn’t quite himself — lying down for long periods and showing signs of stiffness and soreness. When I arrived, it was clear he was uncomfortable and struggling with movement.
This very wet spring has seen rapid grass growth, but with that comes new challenges — slippery paddocks and potentially higher nitrate levels in pastures, both of which can impact muscle function and stability.
After a 40-minute EMMETT session, Brae began to show improvement. He presented with swelling through his offside inguinal muscle, likely the result of a slip, but by the end of treatment he was moving more freely — even offering a little jig jog as you’ll see in the video.
It’s a gentle reminder that even the most well-managed and much-loved horses can develop sudden changes in movement and comfort due to environmental conditions. Subtle shifts in behaviour or posture can tell us a lot — if we take the time to observe and listen. 💜
A heartfelt thank you to Roz and Brae for allowing me to share your story so that others may learn from it.
