As I’m currently in the process of updating the testimonial section of my website it would be very much appreciated if any existing clients, who feel they would be happy to do so, would be prepared to write a review. This can be done on the review section of my page or by sending me an email or message with your review which may be featured on my website and/or social media pages.

Testimonials may be about the riding/training aspect of my work, the veterinary physiotherapy/massage therapy side, or both.

Also I’d like to add a little thank you to everyone who has supported my business to date, I wouldn’t be able to do the work that I do without the support of each and every one of you

Identifying asymmetries

Most riders will be aware of their horses having a weaker rein to work on. They might be less flexible to turn to the right vs left, for example.

Being able to also pick out asymmetries when your horse is stood still can help you to target and minimise L vs R differences which may be limiting your horse’s performance or may even indicate an underlying pathology.

One commonly seen asymmetry is: high/low in the hooves.

In the pair shown in the second photo, the right forelimb hoof bulbs are more upright and contracted than the wider & lower bulbs of the left hoof. The right hoof in this pair is known as a ‘club foot’ as it also has a steeper hoof angle, more concave sole & a smaller weight bearing surface area than the left.

In this pair, the left fore is likely to have greater forward swing of the stride and increased weight bearing than the right fore. This horse is also likely to be left canter dominant and bring their left fore forwards more frequently when grazing.

Due to the asymmetrical balance through hooves which are high/low, the forces on the affected horse’s limbs will be uneven. This can affect muscle engagement (especially if the cause of the asymmetry is due to poor posture or injury compensation), ground reaction force dissipation & even increase injury risk.

One pattern seen in cases with a high/low asymmetry is increased muscle mass in one forelimb compared to the other. This difference in shoulder muscle mass, in particular, can start to push the saddle to sit over to one side which in turn can lead to the development of asymmetry in the rider.

To address an asymmetry in your horse, there are a huge range of techniques & professionals which may be of use. These include training exercises (such as weight shifts), farriery, saddle checks, chiropractors, physiotherapists & veterinary work. The route you take with your horse will depend on the root cause of an asymmetry & the consequential compensatory patterns.

If you have identified an asymmetry in your horse & would like to book a physiotherapy session for them, contact me to book an appointment:

Why is poll pain/tension seen so frequently in horses?

I get asked this a lot as it’s a very common finding during a veterinary physiotherapy assessment so though I’d shed some thoughts on this topic:

Poll tension may either be primary or secondary.

Primary pain and tension are caused by direct trauma to the poll itself. This is most commonly caused by a pull-back injury when the horse is tied up. An ill-fitting or too-tight bridle headpiece can also cause primary poll pain.

Secondary pain and tension is the more complex category due to the huge range of causes. Causes can range from lameness, back pain, sacroiliac dysfunction, chronic asymmetry, poor ridden posture, dentistry issues etc.

The reason for such a large range of causes is all down to anatomy.

The poll is the junction between the head and neck (and therefore body) of the horse. As a result, any pain or dysfunction in the horse’s body which results in the development of channels of soft tissue tension, or altered postural or movement patterns will impact the poll.

To expand on the anatomical connections a bit further, the poll is the first attachment site of the extensor chain of muscles which runs along the topline of the horse’s neck and back, along the top of the pelvis, into the tail and down the back of the hindlimb. Balance between the flexor and extensor muscle chains is required for good posture and harmony in the musculoskeletal system. As soon as the balance is tipped for any reason, channels of tension can develop within the body.

How can you tell if your horse has poll pain/tension? Behavioural indicators may include:
▪️Head tossing/shaking
▪️Becoming difficult to bridle
▪️Becoming head shy around the poll area
▪️Inconsistent contact or travelling around in a high head carriage when ridden
▪️Uneven rein tension
▪️Becoming difficult to turn in one or both directions

Have you ever thought about your horse’s post-exercise routine?

Human athletes are encouraged to stretch after exercise to promote recovery & reduce muscle soreness and stiffness.

Incorporating carrot stretches into your horse’s post-exercise routine 3-5 x per week has been linked to improvements in neck range of motion, top line muscle quality and balance & core strength, with significant improvements being seen in as little as 2 weeks in some cases.

Adding forelimb & hindlimb stretches post-exercise a few times a week has been associated with improvements in joint health & range of motion, stride length, gait expression, muscle flexibility & balance.

Stretching guidelines:
✖️Never stretch a cold muscle, the optimal time to perform stretches is post-exercise when the muscles are warm
✔️ Hold stretches for at least 7 seconds to override the stretch reflex
✔️ Repeat stretches 2-3 times for optimal results
✔️ Always use slow & controlled movements when performing your horse’s stretches & don’t go beyond their comfortable range of motion
✔️ Ask for advice on how to perform stretches from your trusted equine professionals if you are unsure

With this very cold, wintery weather please allow a little extra time when warming up & cooling down your horses during exercise.

Colder temperatures increase the risk of soft tissue injury as it makes them vulnerable to overstretch, and even tearing injuries, due to being stiffer and less flexible when cold.

Also, the fluid found in joints becomes tougher in lower temperatures resulting in reduced joint mobility & a reduction in the efficiency of the dispersion of concussive forces through the limb when the hoof contacts the ground.

An additional few laps of the arena in walk at the start and end of an exercise session could make a huge difference to your horse, especially if they have a chronic condition such as osteoarthritis, are an older horse, or they have previously had a tendon and/or ligament pathology 🐴

Identifying good dynamic posture 🐴

There is more than one type of outline that a horse can work in. These include numerous head & neck positions ranging from a long and low posture to a neutral position to an advanced collected posture, with several variations in between.

The dynamic postures you adopt in your horse’s training should be suitable for their age, discipline, conformation & level of training. Please ask your veterinary and/or teaching professionals for advice if you are unsure.

To increase topline strength & muscle mass, using a combination of suitable outlines is recommended as this variety increases suppleness & helps to prevent tension accumulation.

The foundation for a good dynamic posture is when the rider feels the horse reaching into a symmetrical, elastic contact, engaging their hindquarters and lifting over their back (seen in photos 1/2 & 5/6). In this posture the horse has optimal ability to carry their rider whilst remaining supple, engaged & balanced.

A couple of things to look out for that are characteristics of good ridden posture:

✔️U-shape between the head & neck not a V-shape – V-shape is a sign of tension and has been linked to impaired respiration (shown in pics 3/4 & 7/8)

✔️Parallel forelimb forearm & diagonal hindlimb cannon bone in trot – sign of symmetry between the spinal muscle chains. Deficit of this characteristic is seen in pics 3/4 & 7/8

✔️Visible outline of the abdominal muscles showing their engagement (pic 1/2)

✔️Lumbar angle tending to the horizontal – shows lifting through the back, a steep slope behind the saddle is a sign of a hollow or weak back (seen in pic 3/4)

The last slide shows some examples of good dynamic posture in a range of outlines with and without tack – see if you can pick out the postural characteristics in these horses which identify them as having good posture.

Is your horse showing signs of back pain?

Do they react negatively to their saddle and/or girth?
Do they try to bite when you brush their back?
Do they pin their ears & throw their head up when you put a rug on them?
Do they refuse to stand still at the mounting block?
Have they recently become resistant to turn left or right or accept a rein contact?

If the answer to one or more of the above questions is yes then please pop me a message or email to enquire about booking a veterinary physiotherapy session 🐴

The science behind raised walk poles 🐴

General benefits include improving muscular mass and strength, posture, balance, joint range of motion and coordination, but HOW?

Firstly, the height of the raised poles encourages the horse to lift their limbs higher to clear the poles. Lifting their limb higher = increased joint flexion in the limb = increased joint ROM.

Lifting a limb higher to clear the poles also results in rib elevator muscles being recruited (including the abdominals) = the ribs lift up and away from the raised limb = more weight shifts to the limbs remaining on the ground = rib and back stabiliser muscles engage to support this weight transfer = increased core muscle strength and balance.

Incorporating raised walk poles into a horse’s exercise routine has also been linked to improvements in dynamic posture. Good posture is achieved when harmony is present between the muscle chains. Over raised walk poles:
▪️The flexor chain is engaged when the horse lifts their limb and raises their back and ribs over the raised poles
▪️The extensor chain is recruited to propel the body forwards over the poles
▪️Targeting both the flexor and extensor chains improves overall posture and coordination.

Finally, walking over raised poles helps to improve coordination and proprioception as the poles are the equivalent of an obstacle in the horse’s path which requires the horse to alter their movement pattern to negotiate them.

A few tips on incorporating raised walk poles in your horses routine:
▪️Ensure they are competent and confident with walking over ground poles first
▪️Begin with only one pole in the set raised when you first do the exercise - remember to always raise the last pole first
▪️Check with your physiotherapist or vet if you are unsure whether this exercise is suitable for your horse

Long lining is a great way to incorporate variety into your horse’s exercise routine.
As it is a relatively low impact activity it is often recruited in rehabilitation plans and in the early stages of bringing a horse back into work after time off to aid them in their journey to returning to optimal musculoskeletal condition.

Benefits of long lining are not only physical - improved straightness, symmetry, coordination, posture and muscle mass and strength to name a few! - but also mental with the horse gaining confidence as an individual, especially when long lining outside of the arena.

You may have noticed that I have been rather quiet on this account over the past couple of weeks. This is because the opportunity came up to work at a private Dressage yard on the beautiful Cornish Coast so it has been a very busy few weeks packing up and moving to Cornwall and starting my new job.

However, I am now in a position where I can ‘re-launch’ EquiVP.

Due to working a full-time job, my availability is now limited to weekday evenings for clients within 20 miles of Tregony and weekends for clients throughout Devon and Cornwall. For up to two weekends a month I will be based in Plymouth as this is where the majority of my client base is located, however, session spaces are limited so I’d recommend booking in a physiotherapy or MagnaWave session in advance to avoid missing out.

Long and low posture is a great way to warm up and cool down our horses in ridden sessions but what makes it so beneficial?

The answer is lots! Here is a list of the benefits of long and low posture:
✔️ Increases hindlimb tracking
✔️ Improves hindquarter engagement
✔️ Increases hip flexion
✔️ Raises the back
✔️ Reduces poll tension
✔️ Stretches out the nuchal ligament
✔️ Stretches out neck and back musculature
✔️ Improves balance
✔️ Improves suppleness

The photos in this post show my client and her lovely cob Soldier who have been performing long and low work as part of their ridden routine for the past 4 weeks. Over this period Soldier has shown increased hindlimb stride length, increased suppleness over his back and decreased poll tension.

As this exercise is very simple and easy to perform yet has numerous benefits, I recommend it to every rider to include in their ridden sessions. No matter if you have a young horse starting out training or a grand prix horse, this exercise can significantly improve their dynamic posture and, as a result, their longevity.

Does your horse’s mane sit partly on one side no matter how many times you try and train it to sit neatly?

Have you ever wondered why it keeps happening?

It could be due to a myofascial asymmetry.

Let’s say the muscles on the left-hand side of the neck and shoulder are working harder than their counterparts on the right.

Muscles working significantly harder = increased tension within the muscle.

In this example the tension would be greater in the left side of the neck and shoulder so the hairs of the mane would be pulled to the left.

Asymmetry promotes asymmetry, so differences in the left and right sides of the neck may have formed as a result of asymmetries elsewhere or may be the cause of further asymmetries. Therefore, it’s a good idea to consult your horse’s physio as soon as you identify any imbalances or differences in your horse’s posture or way of going as catching them early = more efficient resolution.

How to tell if your horse might benefit from a physiotherapy session Under saddle: • Difficulty turning on one rein • Tripping or stumbling • Evading the contact - raising their head high, rounding BTV, constantly mouthing the bit etc • Becoming disunited or falling out of canter • Head tossing/nodding/shaking when ridden • Kicking out, rearing, bucking etc • Starting to knock poles and/or refuse fences Getting ready to ride: • Becoming difficult to catch in the stable • Turning away when tack is presented • Head tossing, tail swishing etc when the saddle is placed on their back • Avoiding the bridle and/or the bit being put into position • Not standing still at the mounting block Please note these lists are not exhaustive but give a few examples of common behaviours seen in ridden horses with musculoskeletal pain and/or tension. A lot of behaviours which are taught to be ‘naughty’ or ‘dominant’ behaviours are examples of the horse trying to communicate with their rider/handler. If your horse suddenly changes their attitude towards their tack and ridden work it is a good idea to seek the advice of a professional to help work out what might be causing this.

This transitional weather in the not quite autumn, not quite winter period is prime for hacking out 🍂 Whether you’ve got a horse that you’re slowly building up for next year, have particular muscle groups you want to strengthen over the winter season or are winding your horse down before their winter break, hacking out can be a great way to introduce variety into your horse’s exercise program. The best part? Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to be riding to hack out your horse - there are in hand alternatives including leading them out & long lining. So if you have a youngster, a horse slowly returning from a break or a horse following a rehabilitation plan there are lots of ways you can incorporate hacking into your horse’s routine 🌾 💻 www.equivp.co.uk 📧 [email protected] Videography by @maiapaigevisual #vetphysiouk #vetphysio #veterinaryphysiotherapy #horseriding #instahorse #equestrian #equine #equinephotography

Just a PSA to all drivers out there: how you pass a horse will shape how they react to vehicles in the future so treating horses with a bit of respect will make it so so much easier for us, as riders, to make space for you to move on past us in the future as we will have a relaxed & confident horse responding to what we ask of them. I feel very lucky to experience super respectful drivers on the lanes I ride around in multiple different locations - your patience and ability to respond instantly if I ask you to slow down, stop, turn off your engine etc does not go unnoticed and helps the horses I ride to become much more confident out on the roads and thus make the roads a safer place all round. In case anyone isn’t already aware: if you pass a horse whilst driving in your car please slow down to 10mph, leave a 2m gap between your vehicle and the horse, and pay attention to any instructions the rider might give. I’m very grateful to have never experienced any major difficulties with drivers whilst out on a horse but I’m well aware I might be in the minority on this so always remember - 10mph MAX, 2 meters space & treat horses with respect Thank you #ridingroadsafety #equestrian #equestrianlifestyle #equine #roadsafety #horseriding
