It was back to Berriewood Farm to see Red and Jasper for Bonnnie. It was Reds turn first but didn’t get any photos until this one where is mostly drifting off to sleep watching Jasper have his turn 🥰

It was my first time seeing Jasper and for such a little pony his muscles were like bricks, the picture marked up is of me treating the left compared to the right - as you can see just how much the blood has come to the surface to help repair the left side of the back, then the un treated right side just how much the muscle dips away. And then the photo after of a fully treated back, to which Jasper much enjoyed judging by his face.

I do love my job as each horse fills me with such joy when I can see the body literally changing underneath me ❤️

☀️ It is so important we look after our special fur babies in this weather ☀️

Electrolytes not only help to replenish the horses lost salts due from work, sweating of hot weather, they are a vital part of your horses bodily functions. Meaning they can properly digest their food, their urinary functions are in a natural cycle, help promote healthy skin and help towards the removal of waste products made from all the bodily functions.

So yes it is important we use electrolytes in hot weather but they can be a firm way to healthier horses in general.

🥵 It’s a bit warm 🥵

Make sure you keep your 🐴 rehydrated and refreshed. Instock today, plenty of electrolytes, sun creams, fly sprays, cool washes and mashes for your horses.

We need keep their core temperature down, by including wet sloppy mashes into their diet over the weekend with the added electrolytes will help to keep the important digestive, lymphatic and integumentary systems working to their peak.

❤️ So nice to see my furry clients enjoying their treatments Red is really learning to let go and release well. It’s so nice to see that the hard work that his owners are putting into him are paying off as he is looking and feeling like a different pony 🥰 the following is what his lovely owner had to say…

“ Thank you Lizzie for the treatments on Red. You have spent so much care and time getting to know his character and body that he truly smiles as he see you arrive. He has benefited hugely from the massages releasing any stress carried in his muscles or mind “

Horses are here to make us enjoy the time we spend with them, they can be very frustrating at times and test your patience, but with time and healing you will come out the other end.
If you find yourself comparing yourself to others and say “ why can’t I do that “ just remember you are on your own path, they might be doing things at a different pace to you but trust your instincts and your gut, you are never wrong and trust in yourself you will make it the other side ❤️

🌿 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿

Let’s talk about something that unfortunately affects many grooms, but still isn’t talked about enough: Depression.

💭 Common Symptoms:

Feeling sad, empty, or hopeless most of the time

Losing interest in things you used to enjoy

Changes in appetite or sleep

Fatigue or low energy

Difficulty concentrating

Relying on alcohol or other substances to cope

Feelings of guilt or worthlessness

Thoughts of self-harm or su***de

💡 The Good News:

Depression is treatable. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.

🛠️ There are different treatment options:

Support from friends, family, and community

Healthy habits like movement, sleep, and self-care

Medication (when prescribed by a doctor)

Talking to a therapist

💚 Reaching out is a sign of strength—not weakness. If you or someone you know is struggling, there’s help available.

Don't forget our friends at Riders Minds have a live webchat available 24/7 worldwide https://bit.ly/take-me-to-the-webchat

IGA members can find more advice about managing your mental wellbeing in the International Grooms Minds section of our website.

Let’s break the stigma and support each other.
