At Three Shires, we know that results don’t happen by chance. Maintaining performance for any amount of time is an investment. An investment of time, energy and finances, all with the goal of supporting your horse to reach their full potential.

Physiotherapy is a tool that can make a world of difference to your horse’s performance, and gives you peace of mind that they can perform safely and comfortably.

Save this post as your reminder that physiotherapy is a crucial tool for supporting your horse when competing.

Is your horse actually ‘naughty’?

We’ve all used or heard the phrases….

‘She’s just being mareish’

‘They avoid the correct canter lead on purpose’

‘They’ve always avoided contact’

Just because your horse has always done something, or their behaviour appears ‘naughty’, doesn’t mean that that behaviour should be brushed aside.

Our horses' only way of communicating with us is through their body language, meaning it’s vital that we listen to what they are saying.

Double tap if you agree that we need to listen to horses’ behaviours more, there will be a cause.

When it comes to keeping your animals performing at their best, I call upon my years of experience to ensure you and your animal are in the very best of hands.

With years of hands-on experience, clinical training, and a deep understanding of movement, I can spot the early warning signs before they become a problem.

Their tight shoulders?

The subtle change in their gait?

Their hesitation to go over a jump or do a transition confidently?

These things MATTER.

I’m not here just to fix issues, I’m here to help prevent them.

Because prevention is always better than cure!

Regular physiotherapy can mean fewer injuries, faster recovery, and better performance.

Your animals deserve proactive care, not just reactive treatment.

Finding the balance between introducing your young horse into work and minimising the risk of injury or long term imbalances, can be really tricky.

The first few years of your horse’s life are crucial to their health throughout their life. They can lay the path for their performance, injuries, behaviour and movement.

Plus with the added aspect that growing and playing can result in sore, stiff and fatigued muscles, meaning your young horse could have asymmetry, compensatory patterns and soreness, even before they begin their ridden career.

So when considering your horses’ future, the earlier you can begin to care for the qualities you will ask from them later in life, the better and happier their future will be.

Be the advocate for your young horse.

Stiffness and reduced range of motion can be caused by a number of factors, not just old age!

➡️ Injuries leading to a period of inactivity
➡️ A sudden increase activity
➡️ Weather changes
➡️ Existing conditions

Your dog can be young, fit and healthy, and still experience stiffness. How we support our dogs during this time is key!

If you would like support and guidance if your dog is experiencing stiffness or is struggling to move as well as they usually do, send me the word “STIFF” via WhatsApp on 07948447304 to have a chat.

As an owner, you have an incredible impact on your animal’s wellbeing!

You see them every day. You notice the small changes, the subtle shifts, the things no one else might catch.

That means you play a vital role in their comfort, recovery, and long-term health. And that’s powerful.

My job isn’t just to treat your horse or dog during a session, it’s to support you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to continue that care in between.

Because lasting results come from consistency, and you are the constant in their world.

Every flick of the tail, every uneven stride, every hesitation, it all means something.
As physios, we don’t just treat bodies.

We interpret stories written in movement, and help rewrite them for comfort, strength, and ease.

Double tap if you believe that movement speaks louder than words.

Our animals are masters at hiding pain, it’s in their nature.

But as their guardians and owners, we can learn to notice the subtle signs that something isn’t quite right.

Here’s some of the key things I help my clients look out for when it comes to spotting discomfort in their horses and dogs.

Because when we catch it early, we can support them better.

If you’ve noticed a change in how your animal moves, behaves, or rests lately… trust your instincts. I’d love to help you get to the bottom of it.
