In between catching up with work from sickness, I have been busy with these little gems 💎
Freestyle, my kelpie, is the best Aunty to Disco's puppies.
These working cocker spaniel puppies are 5 weeks old and are bold and brave, as they should be as they are traditionally bred to not only go out into the undergrowth and flush birds, but to go out and find the fallen ones and retrieve them 🥰

Sometimes the release takes a little time, but it always comes in the end.
Releases are not always big like this boy, sometimes they are just a blink of the eye, or a nod, like in the end of this clip.
After over 20 years of treating horses I have probably seen them all 🐎
Time to get out of the arena
🐴🌿 With better weather around the corner,
its time to get out of the arena 🌿🐴
As an animal physical therapist, I've witnessed the incredible benefits that trail riding can bring to our beloved horses. Here are just a few reasons why it's a fantastic addition to your equine wellness routine:
🐎 Mental Stimulation: Trail riding offers horses a break from the monotony of the arena. They get to explore new environments, stimulating their minds and reducing stress.
🐎 Physical Exercise: The varying terrain of trails engages different muscle groups, promoting a well-rounded physical workout. It helps improve balance and coordination.
🐎 Improved Cardiovascular Health: Trail riding naturally increases a horse's heart rate, promoting cardiovascular fitness.
🐎 Joint and Bone Health: The softer footing on trails is gentler on joints compared to hard arena surfaces, which can reduce the risk of injury.
🐎 Enhanced Confidence: Horses gain confidence when navigating diverse terrains, building trust between rider and horse.
🐎 Bonding Time: Trail rides are an opportunity for quality time together, strengthening the rider-horse relationship.
So, saddle up, turn out of the arena and go long. They'll thank you with their joy and vitality! 🌟🐎

Muddy is looking for a new home.
Sadly Alyssa has come to the sad conclusion that her Year 12 studies has to be her priority, and next year she is moving on to Uni. Both Muddy's owner and I have agreed to try and find another great home for him.
Muddy is a 14.2 Qtr horse. He is a pretty cool character, works well on the flat, is confident to jump 65 - 80cm, hacks out alone and in company. He is the same out as he is at home. At 14, he has been there and done it all, and does not mind doing it again.
He will only go on loan to the most perfect of homes, with some conditions ie I have to keep treating him. Preferably with an older teenager or adult who wants a friend to do everything with. No 'gun ho' young kids who just want to jump. If needed, there is an opportunity for him to be agisted with us in Seville.
If you know of anyone, please get in touch.

Love watching the grass blowing in the wind. And the crazy wocker bouncing through it 😛😆

Went to see a big fallen tree in the paddock. Freestyle thought we were there to move the sheep and took it upon herself to group them by the gate. Clever kelpie
