***RESCHEDULED***

I am so so so incredibly sorry to announce that today I seem to have caught a variation of the flu. I woke up with a temperature and felling my throat was on fire barely managing to speak.

So I can actually be heard by everyone and not pass on any of these awful germs I am going to reschedule.
Would you prefer:
January or February
Saturday or Sunday

If you have already booked and would like a refund I totally understand and can process that for you. For those of you that choose to reschedule with me I will discount any following bookings made for clinics, lessons or in person equine physio visits. I will also email all those with bookings. Again I am so sorry for having to postpone.

When working with poles to build core muscles, there is a greater effect on the muscles in walk than in trot (Shaw, K., Ursini, T., Levine, D., Richards, J., & Adair, S. 2021)

Happy Halloween
Half term week is here so it is the usual fun with trying to keep two small people entertained and complete the usual chores. Have you been to any halloween shows and been dressing up?

I would always chose a mare over a gelding. All my mares have been incredible, it's the geldings that I find really pig headed and annoying 🙈 The twatterbred thug Troy, my little patchytwat Teaser prove my point 😂

Beware the trainer who stereotypes mares as being too hormonal, too b*tchy, too difficult…

Their aversion to an entire s*x of horses says nothing about mares and everything about how they approach training and horses in general.

Mares are hardworking, loyal and honest.

The people who tend to strongly dislike them are typically the ones who want to force mares to work through pain, stress, discomfort — or otherwise wish to ignore communication attempts.

They tend to “prove” their mindset correct by eliciting reactions from mares after ignoring warning after warning.

So, yes, they encounter a lot of “cranky” mares but the common denominator is them.

The sad thing is that the hatred towards mares is all too common in this industry.

Despite it being so female dominated.

We need to reframe the way we think about things.

A mare having pain that results in behavioural change due to her cycle is a normal thing.

It is not a sign that she should withhold communication that she’s uncomfortable.

Most of us who also cycle can attest to the discomfort of cramps and how we aren’t always going to feel our best.

Mares are a great lesson in consent and communication.

They are the matriarchs of the herd and the horses who are given the immense responsibility of educating youngsters and teaching them what it is like to be a horse.

Of course they are going to be open with their communication.

The success of their species has been reliant on them educating their young with such communication skills.

Mares have much to teach, to those who wish to listen.

And for those who don’t… well, mares serve as a great litmus test for who actually wishes to improve their horsemanship and honour the horse in the way they should.
