Equine massage may look like just a "spa" day or scratching session from the outside but there is so much more going on!

Another day of doing what I have dreamed of!
working with horses and owners to getting their horses feeling good!

It’s very important that you tell me before I treat your horse if you think they might be unwell. I would potentially pass it on to other horses including my own.
It’s never a problem in this situation to reschedule your appointment 😊😊

Our vets are currently engaged in treating a number of cases of strangles on local yards and urge horse owners and yard managers to be vigilant in recognising the signs and symptoms of this highly infectious disease. Here’s what you need to know...

Strangles is a highly contagious equine respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi. It causes swelling in the lymph nodes of the horse's head and neck, leading to difficulty swallowing and breathing.

The symptoms of strangles in horses can include only one or all of the below:
• Fever
• Swelling of the lymph nodes under the jaw
• Nasal discharge
• Loss of appetite
• Coughing
• Depression
• Difficulty swallowing
• Respiratory distress

It is important not to rely only on the ‘’classic’’ strangles symptoms of swollen lymph nodes or nasal discharge as a sign your horse may be suffering from the disease – some horses may only present with a fever. It is important to seek veterinary treatment if strangles is suspected, as early intervention can help prevent the disease from becoming severe and spreading to other horses.

Strangles is normally treated with supportive care, such as:
Flushing the infected area with antiseptic solution
Warm compresses to reduce swelling
Maintaining good hygiene to prevent spread
Pain management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Antibiotic treatment if required

If you are worried about any aspect of your horse’s health or suspect your horse may have contracted Strangles, please contact us immediately – 01572 722647.

Brachiocephalic muscle 
Seeing a lot of horses very tight and tender in this area at the moment!
This muscle is the main muscle that moves the forelimb so if tight can cause a shorter choppy stride.
It inserts at the poll so will also cause issues with any bending!
Protraction front leg stretches and carrot stretches will also help!

Excited to introduce you all to my first supported/sponsored rider Shelly dann and her amazing horse amber!
Shelly really does work hard and it pays off as her competition record continues to show!
I’m excited to be a part of the journey in assisting to keep ambers muscles in top form.

Hi.
A little about me for anyone new to my page.
A keen horse lover since i can remember I knew it was something I wanted to pursue for life.
Once I left school I went into a apprenticeship to gain my BHS exams.
Once qualified I taught at a riding school for many years.
Eventually I ended up being a groom for high profile riders which I enjoyed and learned alot about the industry.
I still freelance today!
I’ve always had a interest in bodywork and when I lost my homebred at six I knew it’s what I wanted to step into.
And here we are…. 20 plus years in the horse industry
Please feel free to pm me any questions
