Hawke and Ruadh

The unwitting R and D department at BBES

They give me day by day information of what works and what doesn't

They trial hoof boots in all sorts of terrain. For the hills around here, the boots have to work, stay on and last well

Different saddle types. Mostly treeless, but we do foray into the odd treed saddle for Hawke. With the help of a top notch saddle fitter for treed saddles

Supplements, feeds, treatments, trim tools, Bowen moves, stretches, exercises, paddock set ups. The list is not small...

Countless times these guys, and their predecessors, have helped improve my care of your horses over the years

Changes in their feet, bodies and attitude are noted and useful observations are passed on to clients in the hope it helps to save you time and improve issues present

These two are different in most ways from body type and hoof shape to attitude and aptitude

We never stop learning with our horses and these two provide ongoing education for me everyday

Hawke is great for testing new products on. He suits a wide range of saddles, bridles, hoof boots, etc

Ruadh, gosh, he is niche. No bit, only treeless, but a certain kind, only certain hoof boots and he is sensitive to hands on movements in a way that Hawke isn't

They really deserve a pay rise 🥕 🥕 🥕

Can you guess the main reason why this guy is holding a lot of tension through his neck, shoulders and torso?

It's something that isn't always seen as an obvious cause, but is an important part of any horse's life

A before and after showing a big difference in his demeanour

Edit:....herd dynamics! This chap's wonderful owners recently made positive changes to this guys herd structure and requested a Bowen session to check on, and iron out, tension still lingering 🤗

Bowen for this lovely man

Who can see 2 key things that have happened here?

I had just worked over his right shoulder, where he was holding tension

Now is the time to add Omega 3 oil, if you don't already and Vit E if your horse or pony is on hay only

Oh, and also to book in that Bowen session

Unsure on Bowen and what it entails? Think it's namby pamby and a bit too soft and ineffective? Well, good news, its effective AND gentle

A few years back, I'd have given anyone an odd look if they'd have suggested it for my horse/dog/me. I mean, it looks so, nothing. What a load of ole rubbish....or so I used to think

Well, as I found out, goin' hard doesn't always bring home the bacon and goin' soft allows for more feel. Doesn't it always ;-)

So, if you fancy trying a bit of that ole soft, new age rubbish that looks as effective as a chocolate fireguard, give Bowen a try for your horse or pony. No horse too big or small

Sessions are $80
Travel to 1hr from Sandy Creek, 4515, or further by arrangement
$10 travel after each 30mins

For the love of Pete, and your horse's health*, please have your horse consistently on a dedicated toxin binder such as Mycosorb A+

Double the dose in wet or humid weather

I shall keep repeating this until it sinks in

Oh, and good morning 🤗

*Gut
*Immune System
*Hooves
*Coat
*Skin...to mention a few benefits

Pretty please x

Blurgh

Do you know what's in your saddle?

😳 Franken-Flocked?! Your Saddle Deserves Better! 😳

Today, we met a saddle that looked innocent… until we opened it up. Inside? A horror show of two completely different types of flocking mashed together like some kind of woolly Frankenstein. 🧟‍♂️🪶

Here’s why that’s a big “NOPE” in the world of saddle fitting:

❌ Different materials compress at different rates — kind of like wearing one flip-flop and one hiking boot. Your horse will definitely notice.

❌ It creates uneven pressure, which can lead to sore backs, cranky rides, and horses giving you the side-eye for weeks.

❌ It’s impossible to get a truly balanced, even fit when one side is behaving like a marshmallow and the other like a memory foam mattress.

Your saddle should be a source of support and comfort — not a science experiment. 🧪

If you're not sure what’s inside your saddle, or if it’s been a while since anyone’s checked… now’s the time.

📩 Message us to book a flocking check or a full saddle fitting. Because your horse deserves consistent support — not a mismatched mess!

Highly recommend Christine for all your saddle fitting needs
