🌦 British Summertime 🌦

Normally at this time of year we would be encouraging the use of the water treadmill to offset effects of hard ground but at the moment it's about avoiding rain and mud 🙄

Regardless of the weather and ground conditions water treadmill work can be a great addition to your work plan because...

✔as a low-impact workout it's good whether just starting back in work or at full fitness.
✔ we can vary water level and speed according to needs.
✔ strength, straightness, posture and balance are improved
✔ it's kind to joints, increasing their range of motion and improving mobility,
✔ adds variety to their weekly routines.....in a covered, controlled and safe environment.

This week you can invest in a block of 10 sessions for just £280, that's an amazing 20% discount.

Offer expires on Sunday 7th July DM or comment for more details 😊

❓Has your horse ever been on a water treadmill ❓

We often hear phrases like “I don’t think he’ll go on”, “Not that keen on water/puddles/streams”, “Not great at loading”....

Horses are incredible and it's amazing what they will accept. It’s important for them to have a good first time experience so our expert team take it very slowly.

👉Let us know in the comments how you think your horse would react if they came for a session?

a) Refuse to go on
b) Lose balance on a moving floor
c) Freak when the water comes in
d) Take it all in their stride
e) Already a pro

To find out if you’re right why not try one of introductory packages.

🖐Hi, I’m Clare founder of Bowland Equine Therapy on a mission to help horses be healthy and happy 😊

🐴 Horse mad from first words, I had a share in first pony at age 11. (Yes that is me and yes that was accepted riding gear – jodhs were for shows only!).

🏡I live with Phil, great chef and DIY extraordinaire, in the Forest of Bowland. We have glorious views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakes, Blackpool tower and even the Isle of Man.

😼Current furry friends include Macavity cat, Mini Milton, Charlie pony and Mouse (home waiting for another border collie..)

🍷Definite weakness for gin, red wine and chocolate (especially maltesers)

🌄Mountains are my go-to holiday trekking in the summer, skiing (badly) in the winter

If you were asked to give one fact about yourself in an intro – what would it be? Let me know in the comments 👉

👀 Free weigh-ins 👀

Did you know we can weigh your horse (and you...) ?

5 reasons to use a weighbridge 👉

1. Monitoring weight is crucial to horse health, never more so than going into spring and summer.

2. Accurate - weigh tapes and body condition scoring are excellent at highlighting larger changes in weight but small changes can be missed.

3. Checking weight on a regular basis means timely adjustments can be made, decreasing the risks associated with being over or under weight.

4. Having an accurate weight is necessary for medication and worming

5. Calculate feed requirements

If your horse or pony is carrying a little too much condition work on the treadmill can help weight loss and muscle tone with low concussion risk.

Recently we said goodbye to Edd. He holds the record for the longest rehab stay of 14 months! He came for full box rest and progressed to ridden trot work. Now, after a long trip is united with his owner in Ireland to continue his journey. Keeping everything crossed for this lovely horse with huge character ❤

Enjoying the sunset 🥰
A lovely evening for horses mooching in pens but always surprised how often they're out there in vile weather too!

So important for horses confined for rehab to be able to interact and get fresh air (with amazing views)

Hello! 🐴

If we haven't yet met, my name is Milton: Bowland Equine's resident superstar Shetland, and my role here is to help ensure everyone feels welcome and at home!

I am regularly called a little cheeky monkey (this must be a compliment), however I take my job very seriously and let every horse and pony who joins us know they've got a friend in me. 💙

Love, Milton
Ps. I'll never say no to a carrot if you ever have one going spare!
