✨ Friendly Reminder ✨

Please make sure your horses are clean and dry for their physio appointments 🐴

✅ A clean horse allows for accurate palpation – dirt, sweat, or wet coats can make it harder to feel what’s going on beneath the surface.
✅ A dry horse ensures better comfort and safety for both horse and therapist, and prevents equipment from slipping.
✅ Good hygiene is essential for reducing the risk of spreading bacteria or skin conditions between horses.

Arriving with your horse prepared helps us get the very best results out of their session, and ensures your horse gets the care they deserve. Thank you for your cooperation!

Love this! I’ve had my fair share of horses and ponies over the years and the one that changed me the most as a rider was also the one that made me cry many times! They test you, they challenge you and they change you - but that’s why we love them so much 🐴❤️

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🐴💛

Ever wondered if your horse might be in chronic pain?
Horses are flight animals — masters at hiding any weakness — often until it’s too late.

You can help by looking out for common signs of pain, such as:
🐴 Reluctance to be saddled or ridden
🐴 Changes in behaviour (aggression, withdrawal, “not themselves”)
🐴 Stiffness, uneven gait, or reluctance to move forward
🐴 Difficulty picking up a particular canter lead
🐴 Sensitivity to touch or grooming
🐴 Weight shifting, pawing, or lying down more than usual

Physiotherapy can help reduce musculoskeletal pain — not only chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, but also acute pain following injuries.

If you’re concerned about your horse, reach out — early intervention can make all the difference. 🐎✨

🍂 September Availability 🍂

I have two appointments left on the 25th and 29th of September.

I think I may have missed booking someone who reached out a while ago — if that’s you, please get in touch and I’ll give you first refusal on these slots.

The first half of October is also filling up quickly, so let me know soon if you’d like to book.

Many thanks,
Lea

👋 Hey there, new (and not-so-new) faces!

I’m Lea — born in Germany, now based in beautiful Shropshire, UK. I’m (almost) 37 and a university-trained Equine Veterinary Physiotherapist 🐴💆‍♀️

I look after horses of all shapes, sizes, and ages — from cheeky Shetlands to 17hh Irish Sport Horses. I specialise in injury rehab & performance management, but I also love giving Pony Club ponies and our retired legends a good check-up too.

When I’m not out on the road treating horses, I’m a wife, mum, horse owner & breeder — sharing a mix of educational posts, behind-the-scenes snippets, and the occasional physio-life rant.

Thanks for being here — can’t wait to connect with you all! 💜
