Received a message at 5:30pm about a uncomfortable horse due to milking the cows I went straight from the farm to get to the horses yard at 7:10pm!

After finding the problem we managed to release the muscle with hand work and help with the ultrasound to leave the horse much more comfortable and ready for his dressage class tomorrow!

Ruby, Paddy and Luka all relaxed after their routine massage sessions 💆🐴

How often should a horse receive bodywork and massage?

This depends on the workload of the horse, his/her conformation, health history, footing, tack fit and extent of injuries (if any).

most working horses are treated monthly or 6 weekly to maintain a healthy muscoskeletal system however some horses in light work or convalesing may benefit from only 4 prehab & maintenance treatments per year.

Is it time to get your horse booked in?

Very hot day today!! 6 lovely horses treated to an equine sports massage 💆‍♀️

While it’s so hot here, here are some top tips for keeping your horses cool 🧊

Apple bobbing 🍎
By putting apples into your horses water, not only does it encourage them to drink more and stay hydrated, but also provides them with a fun game!

Soaking fly rugs 🪰
By wetting fheir fly rugs the horse will further improve its cooling properties and hold the moisture for longer, so hosing the rug down while it is on the horse multiple times a day is worthwhile in the hottest temperature.

Ice lollies 🧊
Why not treat your horse to some home made ice lollies? Simply put your horses favourite fruit and vegetables in a tub of water, (maybe add a splash of apple juice!) into the freezer and in a few hours your horse will love their frozen treat!

Today I had the privilege of working with “Casper” who can come across nervous to people he doesn’t know and isn’t sure of.

This is Caspers second equine sport massage and relaxation was shown a lot sooner than our last session, it’s important to work with the horse to show them you are on their side and to help not hurt, we don’t push things too far. Instead, keep the experience positive!

Massage, especially can help to soothe and relax a nervous horse. With time and repetition, you can learn to use massage to relax and focus your horse, and to help encourage them to relax muscles which are typically tense when they are nervous.

Gold star for Casper today 🌟

Rocky showing us some big yawns this afternoon 🥱

Did you know a horse/pony often yawns to release tension?

Other signs of release when being treatment include include resting a leg, stretching of a limb or the neck, soft eye movements and blinking, relaxed posture, a loose lower lip, jaw or tongue movement, twitches of the skin, and changes in breath

Due to an outbreak of strangles I am taking a few extra precautions to stop any spread and protect your horses!

What I was already doing:
•Keeping hands clean
•Disinfecting boots with a iodine dip inbetween yard
•Disinfecting any therapy machinery used

To stop any potential spread I will now be:
• Changing clothes inbetween yards, this is because strangle bacteria can live on clothes for 24hours
•wearing disposable gloves when treating

What I need from owners?
• If your horse is showing any signs of infection please let me know! No matter how soon to your appointment you will not be charged any cancellation fee.
•If your horse does have strangles or showing signs but you don’t want to miss the appointment, I promise to book you in the first appointment I have available one they have the all clear!

I know to some this will seem a over reaction but the last thing I want is for your equine partners getting sick 🐴

Regular clients “Boo” having his maintenance massage to keep him performing at his best!

Maintenance massage for the awesome Quin this week! Quin and Clare have been out doing a lot of awesome things over the past few weeks so to keep him preforming to his best a maintenance massage is required, he also took a little tumble on his bum at his last event so a massage to make everything was loose and relaxed ready for another fun filled weekend! Big thank you to Dan for recording and producing this awesome video ☺️
