A lovely article encouraging us all to listen to our horses a little more to gain that extra knowledge that may be the answer to our question.

This is true for body workers and riders alike.

Warwick Schiller made his name as an expert trainer. An enigmatic little horse completely changed his outlook.

As I start to prepare to finish the IET equine osteopathic course and head home, there is one special lady I would like to thank.

Crystal is a lifelong horsewoman, IEMT therapist and creator of the Journey to the Heart Horse Sanctuary, Georgetown, California.

Crystal generously offered me a beautiful, peaceful place at her sanctuary to practice my craniosacral feel. I have been privileged to spend time with and learn from Handsome Rob, Autumn, Daisy, Scarlet, Hannah, Lilly, Jessie, Sampson, Hercules and Bear. A real privilege.

Thank you Crystal, you’re a very special person ###

This is the totally charming Sugar the polo pony who has been my partner for Osteo 1 module.

She has been patient, polite and very clear in letting me know how I’m doing and what she thinks of it. Exactly the partner I wanted.

Back at school with Yolanda and Tom Mayes of Integrated Equine Therapies, and simply loving it. Osteopathic module 1 has been totally fascinating.

Osteopathic module 2 next week and then I’m heading home. I have a strong feeling I will be back to continue and complete the Osteo course next year……

I am excited to be coming home to resume treating your fabulous horses & ponies in November.

However, as some of you know, keyboard skills are not my super power. I learnt on one similar to the picture below! So I have decided to change how I provide your reports.

I will be putting the information direct onto a new comprehensive treatment record on my iPad and will email this to you. I hope that this will be easily understood and remember you can always contact me if you have any questions.

If you do need a more wordy report for your insurance company simply let me know. Of course I will be happy to provide this for you but it will incur a reasonable admin fee.

I am fully booked for November but very happy to schedule appointments for December and January.

We all are……with the right teacher.

So I’m enjoying my time on the North California coast reading and preparing for my next module with the Integrated Equine Therapy team which is on Osteopathic techniques.

I wanted to say that I have already learnt some incredible craniosacral techniques that are relevant to some of my regular clients. Where issues may not have been totally resolved but noted as such. I will be emailing you directly to schedule appointments, so do check your inbox.

It’s been an amazing four days with Tom & Yolanda Mayes of Intergrated Equine Therapies, here in Placerville, California.

Immensely enjoyed the learning of some phenomenal equine craniosacral techniques to take back to my own and client’s horses in the UK.

I am now looking at the IET Craniosacral practitioner certification and will be looking for some case study volunteers.

Pic is me receiving my 32 hours of CPD certificate from Tom as a bonus.

Off to the coast now for a couple of weeks before the IET Osteopathic module.

01/10/2024

YEAH!

I am very excited to be here in sunny California ready to join Tom Mayes of Integrated Equine Therapies for some additional training.

I’m hoping that to come back with a few more tools in the box to help horses feel more comfortable. Again like the other modalities I’ve trained in, these new techniques are very light on the horse’s body and allow the horse to gently let their tension go and realign their bodies.

The reason for travelling so far is that Tom Mayes joins the different modalities together and looks at the horse’s physical and energetic bodies. I’ll tell you more over the next few weeks……

Thanks to the wonderful Kamila I’m able to leave the farm confident that all the horses will be very well looked after in my absence, what ever their needs.

Today was a fantastic day!

Early Bird was allowed out into the sunshine for a few hours, to enjoy a bit of grass and the company of his old friend Spirit.

There have been many people to thank along this journey and today it is the company Vetoflex from Czech Republic.

Vetoflex make equine hernia and colic operation recovery bands . We call this Early’s pyjamas. It has been perfect for holding all his dressings in place, even when he enjoys a roll in new shavings. They have a sheepskin section across his spine and easy to use Velcro on his tummy to hold it all nicely in place. Simply pop it on over his head.

Thank you Vetoflex for your wonderful product and fast and efficient shipping. You really have made a difference.

After 15 days of daily vet visits and dressing changes from the fantastic team of Equivet. Kamila and I are going to be changing the dressings starting tomorrow.

It has been a stressful time and to add to it Early Bird tested positive for MRSA which has meant that we have all had to be more diligent about contact hygiene.

And for even more drama Early Bird got cast in his box on his broken ribs side. Thanks to Lucy Chester and David my husband we were able to use ropes and pull him over.

He is now well on the mend!

The very handsome Murphy has come to stay while his Mum goes on holiday.

Those attending tomorrow’s workshop will be able to say hello.

Rachel Tucker is the amazing person who put Early Bird back together. How very lucky we are.

Early Bird is making a slow but forward progressing recovery thanks to The Liphook Equine Hospital and now the daily visits from the Equivet Mobile Horse Veterinary Services team.

29/08/2024

A big thank you.

Last Wednesday Early Bird had a catastrophic accident and we were not sure if he was going to make it. But we are delighted to say he is home now and making progress daily.

We would like to send our heartfelt thanks to Lucy the on call vet at Equivet who arrived very quickly and dealt with the situation brilliantly. Lucy gave us a quick and clear assessment of the situation and guidance on our options. Thank you Lucy for keeping us calm.

I would like to thank my amazing husband who got the Horsebox ready and in place as Lucy was preparing Early to travel to Liphook. He has been brilliant throughout and a huge comfort when the tears were flowing, which was for a couple of days to be honest.

We would also like to thank the Team at Liphook Equine Hospital for their incredible work both in the necessary hours of surgery and fantastic aftercare provided in ICU. We especially loved the morning updates of his progress.

Another big thank you goes to Oscar our grandson who came and kept us company collecting Early and did his stint of observations in the barn with Grandad and Jade.

Finally thanks to the friends who knew and checked in on us all, it really was appreciated.

We are very relieved that Early is having his daily vet visits and dressing changes here at home now.

It has been a very stressful time and my apologies if I have been late in replying to your texts or emails.
