Your farrier’s safety isn’t just about them — it’s about every horse on their schedule 🐴

If they get hurt while working on your horse, it’s not just Pumpkin who misses out. An injured farrier means hundreds of horses waiting longer for care, and colleagues stepping in to help cover the load. Even without injury, an unruly horse eats up precious time, making it hard for your farrier to stay on schedule.

So next time your farrier runs late, remember — there’s often a good reason.

❗️❗️❗️

We all know the heartbreaking sight of a horse with ribs showing and a dull coat. Emaciation screams “neglect.” But the truth is obesity is just as much a welfare issue.
An obese horse isn’t “well-loved” or “spoiled.” Extra weight is a silent killer. It stresses joints, damages internal organs, and increases the risk of laminitis, metabolic disorders, and heat intolerance. Many obese horses live in chronic, low-grade pain every single day. Pain their owners may not even recognize.
Horses evolved to roam and graze sparse forage, not stand in a small pen eating rich feed all day. Overfeeding, lack of exercise, and ignoring body condition scores is no different from underfeeding. It’s still failing to meet the animal’s needs.
Neglect isn’t only about what we don’t give. Sometimes, it’s about what we give too much of, for too long, without considering the consequences. Caring for a horse means keeping them at a healthy weight…not just feeding them until they “look good” to human eyes, but until they feel good and can move, breathe, and live without excess burden.
REMEMBER
A healthy horse is a happy horse. Anything else is neglect, no matter which end of the scale it’s on.

🌀Blue Bell Pt. 2🌀

Some of you may remeber this spring when Blue came to me to start her rehab journey. Her loving owner has been struggling to keep her sounds for the last few years with no luck getting anything diagnosed. I have been working with Blue and her owner for the last two years and in the begining we were making leaps and bounds, then we hit a roadblock in her treatment. I would go out, do a session on Blue and she would feel like a million bucks for about a week and a half then back to her ‘normal’ state. She needed more consistency and a therapeutic eye 24/7 so when her body went out of balance it didn’t have any time to set itself improperly.

Blue suffered from a mysterious lameness predominantly in her front left leg, she landed toe first in both forelimbs and pawed till no end! All around body pain and tightness causing poor range of motion in every plane of motion. When Blue came in, I assessed her and we made a game plan to get her back on track.

In the month and a half that Blue was with me, this is what we worked on:
- Myofascial lines
- Organ meridians
- Craniosacral therapy
- Musculoskeletal health
- Energy pathways using acupressure
- Stretching and flexion through the whole body
- Rehabilitation exercises

In part three (coming up) I will show you the before and after videos of her movement in her back up a walk, trot, and a lope. See for yourself how proper care, time and dedication can reverse ailments and improve health and wellness in your horses.

🌀Sparkly AND functional🌀

Some new kicks for miss Blue Bell and an EMOT session to keep her feeling her best. This mare, her owner and I have been on a rollercoster the last 2 years and we’re finally winning!

Another day another bum… but today is different (pun intended🤭)

This horse presented with poor posture in his lower thoracic and lumbar back and inhibited hind end range of motion, both passive and active.

At first glance this looks like the common pelvic tilt. But with a pelvic tilt, there is the same degree of rotation present in all the boney landmarks; the tuber sacrals, tuber coxae and the ischial tuberosities.

However in the before picture, the only boney landmarks that are irregular are the sacral tubers this is because what you see is not a pelvic tilt. It is actually a unilateral counternutation of the sacrum (on the left wing) coupled with the rotation of all 5 lumbar vertebrae (to the right). This causes the SI joint to function incorrectly, causing discomfort, poor posture and trouble with leads.

Listen to your horses. They’re always talking
