Good Morning Everyone,
Up at the crack of dawn today heading out early, mid week already, some lovely new clients all booked in to receive their equines first sessions....... it's always a pleasure meeting an owner who has seen my page and thought how does that happen with those before and after pictures. They book a session to see how their equine responds to the bodywork...... expect the unexpected, I've always said........ those releases, it's a feeling too the horse's movement becomes freer when ridden, its about making changes or watch them in the field how they stand in the field comfortable, square with a less angular body posture..... it's actually really interesting depending on how contracted the equine body can be and how long the distorted Fascial System has been challenged in this state of tension as it can lock...... which is why I call it Fascial lock..... thats why I always say the body will guard itself with its fight and flight response from predators (although who knows what the predator is/was or may be) or until the equine feels safe once the letdown has occurred or opening of the fascial tissue and these changes in the structural response the equine body can rebalance and give offered by opening up to lengthen...... which is why I say you have to encourage the tissue to yield that's why if you overwork the body, place pressure on the body to perform, jump, jump, jump, canter, canter, trot, trot, trot their is a defensive mechanism within tissue or as i said a guarding process within the body that it is very likely it will shut you out, therefore release response, reaction will be greatly reduced and you will find the positives become a negative...... so there are no quick fixes it's about long-term support to develop positive changes to each equine....... food for thought..... walk, walk, walk..... as you can see, the response from the tissue this occurred within the session to an equine that is seasoned to the equine Touch bodywork. I call these procedures mapping the equine body. Basically, the release response occurs with each Equine Touch palpation.....Axx

REACTION - RESPONSE - RELEASE - RECOVER.........

Something to think about when contracted tissue has occurred therefore it can lock or close down to response either within its own movement, function, tends to be discomfort or its limitations.....is that the body finds it difficult to release the contracted area if its been in the state of spasm I will say for 10 mins or 10 years, its the whole body needs to be addressed as a unit, given time to adjust to these changes also. The equine will always need support to develop or to take the information on board...... there are no quick fixes.... it's about developing the positives reducing the negatives...... allowing these changes.......also resting the body....... time is a great healer....... Axx

I've added a little paragraph on each photo..... these pics are out of the archive of my files, just to show you before and after..... these are very visual changes. However, subtle changes are just as important simply because they can be the bridges between each session to further changes in a follow-up session to progression.... πŸ€— AA - Release the FASCIA!

RDA -Kinfauns Perth Scotland is with Audrey Anderson with The Equine Touch bodywork.

A lovely lady whom I had been working with on her own horse's, asked what I thought about working with the RDA horse's because we all know they do amazing work. So this lovely lady had given a donation to the RDA Kinfauns for me to work with them. So basically thats where it started from that very point i was asked back to continue the sessions of bodywork. All the ponies benefit from regular sessions, but I pop back now and again any that need a little extra help with Mobilisation with Stretching 🫢 Axx

Here was one of the lovely sessions this afternoon..... Young horses really do need body work, too!

Follow-up session for this lovely young lad. As we know, growing youngsters feel their body discomfort as well as slips, trips, fall in the field, weather will also affect the body....... who knows what they get up to when you're not there!!

This is Oden owned by Lewis Smith, who is absolutely dedicated to his lad..... I've worked with Oden since he first arrived as a youngster. So I'm am having a follow-up session after becoming quite restricted through the diagonal, which i was addressing in the last session. Addressing the residual tension within this session....... applied 4 Equine Touch palpation moves over neck and chest, he is so responsive to the bodywork now as you can see. Working out various areas of tension and discomfort throughout the body. It's almost like a mapping process that i apply. It can make the difference between behavioural tendencies too becoming reduced when the body is more mobile, less restricted, opening up the contracted tissue through the layers of Fascia it is a process that can help rebalance the posture as you can see in the second picture. I'm looking forward to seeing Oden in a few weeks' time to help add some light in handwork.

Thank you to Lewis, Tracey, and of course Oden who is three and a half years old...... for dealing with the chilly cold day...... Axx

Keepin' your horse supple over winter with simple polework!

Even though your horse is possibly doing less work at this time of year because of finishing work then by the time you get to the yard it's dark the weather may be challenging, once a week or at the weekend. Light inhand polework will be enough to keep the body mobile.... it can help activate the muscles encouraging engagement, proprioception, correctness, extension, contraction, circulation, lymphatic drainage, stimulation of whole body function.... polework is schoolwork.... it's also educational to any horse..... keeping the body active without over working, less likely to create a sweating horse..... which can be difficult to dry at this time of year........ but this type of work will keep your horse active to help with softness, suppleness..... less is more, any age, any disapline, once a week, once a fortnight, once a month.... it will make a difference....

Hello, everyone!

Here we are at the start of 2025. Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts that i received, flowers, cards..... you have no idea what that meant 🫢..... enjoy the next few days as most are getting back into work mode! Dates will be sent out over the next few days. Also, those who have already been sent date those who haven't confirmed yet 1 or 2 if you can let me know when you get a moment.

🐈As you can see tonight, Maya's mindset was definitely chilling on the office chair!! Christmas was exhausting..... never mind New Year.... This was what was required, rewind, rest, relax, and repeat 🐾🐾 Axx

Back to work for William and I.....

I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas time and you managed to take a break! William has had a month off, so he has now started to work inhand walking, polework for the next 10 weeks. Good idea to encourage my fitness too!! Yet again, Williams' coat has started to shed, a little earlier than normal as its usually the first week in January, although it's been warmer of late, our animals are a little confused with the weather.
Anyway, I will update on equines over the next few weeks as I've been super busy πŸ™ƒ..... take time to reflect, look after each other, keep positive, timeout to recover..... Axx

1, Vigorous brushing - encouraging circulation, lymphatic drainage, stimulation of the body tissue....
2, Mane and Tail - Brushing from the roots helping remove dead skin, mud, shavings that are stuck at the roots of hair follicle stimulating the tissue structures.
3, Hooves- Checking for cracking on hoof wall, stones, debris stuck in foot, foul smell, Checking the coronet band.....
4, Stretching - encouraging the extension of tissue throughout the equine body..... less is more.
5, Mobilisation- Checking the mobility movement of, head, neck, Barrel, fore and hind quarters, don't forget the tail.
6, walking out - Inhand or ridden, great way of fittening work, increased heart and lungs function improving whole body engagement.

Enjoying time well spent for both horse and owner..... Axx

Good morning, everyone.

Sometimes im asked how do you know its layers of FASCIA?..... well heres a fantastic professional video from one of our founders Dr Ivana Ruddock Lange our veterinarian, Anatomist, lecturer, and researcher, working with the equine body. Showing you healthy free moving FASCIA with the viens in each layer sliding over each other, these blood vessels carrying the nutrients, oxygen, to not only supports the tissue but cell regeneration, by correcting the fascial function can rebalance the equine body...... demonstrates how important it is that every horse is working correctly both inside and outside, especially for its health and well-being that fascial function is extremely successful at regulating their temperature throughout its body with its own Thermo regulation system....... when working correctly helps regulate the equines body temperature.........when you here someone saying I'm working deep into the body you can only achieve this when correctly addressing the surface layers first that's when you start to unlock the restricted layers on the surface to begin with then travel towards those deeper layers it's the only way to correctly, successfully release the FASCIA. Value the less is more approach, you can also see how delicate these structures are....... forceful pressure triggers a defence mechanism within the tissue structures, which can shut down and create a negative response which in turn can create little or no reaction, this would be its natural response to trauma, The Equine Touch technique, when applied to the tissue, can be as light as eyeball pressure to release the tension, contraction, and address the conjested tissue throughout fascial system.....

THANK YOU.... to Dr. Ivana Ruddock Lange for the science work supporting the Equine Touch bodywork technique . It is invaluable. We are extremely grateful for all the education and knowledge that you share with us to support the work we do with the Equine Touch bodywork releasing the FASCIA layers.... Axx

Super video presentation of what lies beneath the surface, how important it is to help and encourage long-term support, also time to recover from any trauma that may happen to the equine body, The Fascia System is extremely important by addressing various areas of tension, discomfort, restrictions, unevenness, immobility, poor performance or negative behaviour, box rest, young, old, jumping, dressage, endurance, pleasure, working, even just in the field, all areas of the body that may have been challenged in the past or present but what we need to look at the future of all our equines. Maintaining a healthy functional Fascia system is equally important to their wellbeing but also welfare of their every day.... healthy equines tend to be a contented one!! Axx

14/12/2024

Our amazing founder of The Equine Touch Vet, Anatomist, Researcher, lecturer Dr Ivana Ruddock Lange, demonstrating free movement, on one or the dissection courses.... which shows you how healthy functional Fascia should move.....

Functional Fascia should move freely beneath the skin with no restrictions..... fascia surrounds absolutely every muscle layering through every muscle, every organ of the body thickened fascia are ligaments and tendons, tubular fascia are veins and arteries.... continuously winding its way through the body..... the fascia also has more nerves than the muscles themselves as I've said on many occasions Fascia is the WIFI of the body

Slide and Glide, fantastic visual of how healthy FASCIA extends and contracts with ease! that is why releasing the Fascial System restrictions is key to encouraging a balanced posture.... whole body engagement, correctness in movement, improving suppleness, mobility, therefore promoting good circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage, detoxification, and releasing traumatised muscles l the list is end less.
