I was so glad to have a helper on one of today's visits 🙈 this foal was just the cutest I'm excited to see what he'll turn into 😍
🚶♀️🏃♀️🚶♀️Transition exercises... did you know they're super good for:
🌟Alertness which helps with reinforcing aid training
🌟Engagement which is great for horses that get school sick
🌟Are quick, easy and can be done on a range of terrains for anyone short of time and space
🌟Core strength which helps with balance and posture
🌟Muscle recruitment which helps get those peachy bottoms especially up hills 🍑
🌟Can be both upwards and downwards transitions, I could only video upwards on this occasion because I needed both hands to stop 😅😅😅
So here's one from this weekend 😍 You may have heard or seen of horses that are "sway-backed" and this is a shining example. The correct scientific term is "lordosis of the spine" and it's a condition that describes a concave hollowing and curvature of the spine. I'd like to add that this horse is very loved and this is through no ill treatment or excessive weight from the current owner and of all the horses I saw that day, he was without a doubt in the best shape 😍 (sorry other horses, you are all beauties too 🙈).
P.s... the Yorkshire in me will still always say sway-backed 😅
Absolutely nothing scientific about this post... just my cute baby foal having zoomies 😍😍😍
Tonight's CPD: Bit pressure - the theory is the power behind the practical in this job so it's good to keep upto date with what's going off in the world. And I thought I'd bring my girls in on the action, Charm and Brie are loving hearing about the affects that bit pressure has on the Hyoid apparatus 💁🏽♀️
Standard Wednesday evening 🙊
Good evening party people, the diary is open so I'm getting back to you all while I can 🥰
I'll answer all physio messages as soon as I get in, just getting my jobs done. Looks like me and Charm have both had enough of this rain 🙈
The diary is open people so if I haven't already got back to you then drop me a message and we'll sort your appointment 😘
🌟 There may be a delay in answering messages this weekend as I'll be up in Cumbria so I'll get back to everyone as soon as I can. In the mean time... here's the lovely Dixie enjoying a good old scratch in today's session 🌟

Thought I'd ease myself back into work gently on Saturday after a week off but Louis had other ideas 😬
When I said "have a blast around on the lunge and get his muscles warmed up" this is not what I meant 🙈
You took it too far Louis, too far 😅
Wow what a weekend 🐴 I think I've managed to get back to everyone but if I've missed anyone then please get in touch 📖
