Lovely little Bria has been seen for physio and hydro at - initially she was referred for luxating patella’s (a very common condition we see).

On her initial assessment a forelimb asymmetry was also noted, Bria then went to see her referral vets for further investigations. Following this, Bria has been doing targeted physiotherapy exercises, three times a week for the last 5 weeks, to strengthen her shoulders and the results are showing!

Keeping consistent with her exercises has begun to increase muscle mass, improve shoulder stability and reduce the risk of re-injury🙌🏻

This one was a far more emotional occasion - last year Chrissy suffered a traumatic accident on the farm resulting in two orthopaedic surgeries and left her with nerve damage. 10 months on from the accident she’s back out winning on the brace circuit. Think we all had a few tears in our eyes🥺🥹

Team Littledale are off to the English national later this week - we wish them the very best of luck!!🤞🏻🍀

Jonah and Chrissy - Brace Champions at Macclesfield and District Sheepdog Trials 🤩

Jonah won the qualifying round and was 2nd in the final. Taylor was 6th and then 8th in the final.

Congrats to Kevin and Jet on the win, class run 👏

Lovely to see a son and daughter of Jonah competing alongside him in the final 👌

Special thank you to Ephie at North Western Vet Physio for the continued advice and support. Chrissy continues to amaze us ❤️

📍A small business update for all my lovely clients📍

In my quest to find that illusive life balance, I’ve made a change to how I manage communication by moving to separate phones for work and personal use.

The business number is staying the same, which means no change for clients. The big change going forward is no more midnight message for me and no more feeling guilty texting me on a Sunday night for you!

I’ll be responding to all emails, messages and calls during business hours, outside of these hours messages/calls will aim to be responded to the next working day.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support, I hope this will work better for all of us! Ephie x
