Olly has ulcer symptoms, being an ex racehorse means he is predisposed. He lives in a large paddock with company and feed, does not appear to have pain issues. The only thing I could think was it has been a very very dry and cold winter and perhaps he has been worried about enough food despite getting lots of hay etc.
The T touch wrap helps with nerve pain from the ulcers and the sure foot relaxes fascial tension from gut pain and inflammation. Olly also has red light on his back, AOE for stomach and fascial release. I did some mobilisation of his wither which was very stiff from the tension created by referred nerve pain.
Olly's owner was onto the ulcers and he is also on supplement therapy.

Benji has both hind feet on one soft Sure Foot pad, he is relieving tension in the hip flexors, psoas, lower back and more.
Darcy is a senior and he is using the one Hard Slant to help with his joints and general fascial stiffness.
Both horses chose to stand this way when offered the pads.

Funny, not funny. IF you buy an invasive tool it MUST come with training! Otherwise,just no.

It cant hurt right??

I want one!!! That is the most popular comment when I see a new massage gun, popping silver pencil, digging tools, scratchy tools and basically anything else we can scrape, dig, prod, poke or vibrate so much the horses teeth rattle so much they risk falling out, not one comment asking can it hurt, where is the research to back some pretty big claims up, or simply does my horse even need it.

I normally just wait for the hype to die down, or until something new and shiny comes out yet with social media anyone can pick up a tool and within minutes influence a sleuth of sales without a clue to what they are doing or the delicate structures they may be affecting

I watched a huge influencer proceed to jam a tool into the horses calcaneus tendon saying she was working the hamstrings and if that wasnt enough then proceeded to dig thumbs into the tendon, pop the tendon across back and forth saying it was a tight muscle, all the while the horse held its leg up probably praying that she would just bloody stop poking.

Why do we jab horses with our fingers, with our hands and declare yep your horse is sore 🤔 of course it bloody is you have just ran your talon down its spine, would we react??? Say you were just minding your own business and along i came with no warning and grabbed the base of your neck, stuck my fingers in your ribs then tried to make you "relax" and trust i wouldn't do it again all the while not communicating what I was doing, yep I agree you would probably lock the door and ring the police 🙃.

The poor horse of course just stood there because most people forget if a horse cant get away it rarely fights especially if has failed to get rid of silver popping pokey finger previously it will just put up and shut up and thats the reason why we can keep doing this stuff again and again

It's not therapeutic for a horse to feel pain induced by a therapist, we may want to walk away with bruises and bright red skin to feel we have got our monies worth but again I would not go within 10 feet of a therapsit who tells you pain is a pathway to healing when its their hands causing the pain.

Can we not buy the latest 18 setting alien spaceship looking massage gun because the advert said it cured a horse who was laminitic yet 400 sessions and 2 years later using the new fangled machine cured it 😊

Of course the woman is an expert in absolutely everything and probably a new shiny tool will be dug in the horse next week and hey like pin the tail on a donkey they may actually get a muscle this time

Below is the best grooming tool you can buy your horse, which is another horse 😅😅 trust me i am an expert and I said its ok to buy another horse 😃

Finally a dry area to feed the horses.
Pretty happy with how old man Doc has come through the wet winter.

I used to use those knotted halters too. I used to think and unbreakable halter was important for training the horse to stand.
How wrong I was.
The brain injuries and body trauma from pulling back can be significant and last a lifetime.
The scarring caused by knotted halters effects vital fascial nerves.
There is always another way
Think again.
Change.

Cocopops (how cool is his name?!!) Releasing nerve pain in his face, created before he joined his new family. Please be careful of your use of knotted halters with knots across the nose, those harsh bumps are designed to act on the fascial nerves which are just under the skin, with very little muscle to protect them from being jammed against the bone of the face.

Last weekend a few horsewomen, stressed by months of rain following devastating floods, got together with me to relax and connect with horses.
What do we need to ride safely and with leadership?
Relaxation, balance and strength.
All 3 are interconnected and all 3 can be improved with a few minutes of exercises.
What does our horse need to carry us safely and happily?
Relaxation, balance and strength.
The last often gets the most time spent on it, and relaxation is talked about but not truly achieved, while balance is almost never trained (with a few exceptions).
My mission was to help everyone destress and relax, and learn some cool balance and proprioception tricks.
I saw shoulders drop, heads become more upright as necks relaxed and posture improved. Then we took our relaxation exercises to the horses. It was so cool to see an anxious little stock horse drop his head and start yawning within 2 minutes of being the focus of some human relaxation.
After a chat and some 🍰, we completed a focused, listening exercise with the horses. We saw some powerful changes and also got to understand how much in our environment the horses take note of. So many things we block out, they pay attention to.
It was a successful and fun morning and proved to me I am on the right track.
Watch this space!
