I have finally moved into the 21st Century and now have a card reader (subject to learning how to use it 🤔😆). Most cards accepted along with Google pay and Apple pay.

Sat in bed with a cup of tea preparing for the day ahead. Have had a great 3 days out with the Salt Trailer this week. Nice to see some of last years horses for their Spring follow up sessions and some lovely new horses having their initial cleanse. Back to hands on Physio sessions today ....... not feeling inspired by the high winds and rain though 🤔

We are making the most of the lovely weather at Branston Equine Rehab. Yesterday RSPCA Rebel went out for a walk as part of his rehabilitation programme, with the help of Student Veterinary Physiotherapist Alice, who is with us on a 22 week placement as part of her degree, RSPCA Spencer continued with his return to work training following his winter holiday and on Saturday Tommy enjoyed a gymnastic polework session.

It's that time of year again when the Salt Trailer is coming out to play. Some horses struggle with being in more and with that combined with increased hay consumption some are coughing more. We are also starting to think about the arrival of Spring and with that the flies and midges that cause our beloved horses issues. Halotherapy can be good as part of the management for skin conditions such as sweet itch, seasonal allergies and airway management in cases of equine asthma and COPD. If you would like to know if it is something that may help your horse, please don't hesitate to send me a message. Details of clinic dates will appear on this page and on our website: www.branstonequinerehab.co.uk

It's been a busy weekend here. Sandy from Equine Endo visited us yesterday to weigh and worm count the boys, the Halotherapy trailer got a good clean out, finished weeding the arena and then harrowed it. A little de-thistling in my winter fields this morning and I am feeling quite accomplished. Now .... back to the paperwork 😬 I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!!

Busy morning here at Branston Equine Rehab - dentist time 🦷. For Graham, it was his first appointment, for Spencer it was his first without sedation and for Tommy, well just another routine visit. Young Rebel also had his mouth checked as he has an underbite, so it was useful chatting to Martin about the long term management plan for him.

Regular dental visits are really important to make sure horses are happy in their mouths, after all, we ask them to accept the bridle and the contact and have even flexion on both reins which can be hampered with unmanaged dental issues.

Both Tommy and Spencer had dental work early on to correct their jaw misalignment allowing the jaw to operate correctly, although now only require routine management, and it was useful to see how Graham's teeth were doing, being only 4, he still has some baby teeth and some adult teeth are not quite through, so teething consideration is required when I ride. Huge thank you to Martin Brookes Equine Dental Services

I have decided to continue the offer prices through September as we have struggled to fit everyone in for the July/Aug offer period. It's been a great start to this additional treatment modality and I am happy to have helped so many horses to date.

JULY / AUGUST BOOKING OFFERS

If you are considering Halotherapy for your horse, I have some great introductory offers, saving up to 30% on the normal price. These discounts will be applied to all bookings taken in July and August. More treatment information available on our website www.branstonequinerehab.co.uk

Last week Tommy came and spent the week with us here at Branston Equine Rehab (not to be confused with my own - he was fondly titled guest Tommy). He had had an asthma attack a few weeks ago and his owners and vets have been working to get a management plan together for him to try and avoid a reoccurrence. Once his inhalers were sorted, he came for a week of salt therapy to try and restore some equilibrium to his respiratory system. His nose cleared after a single session and by the third session he appeared to be really benefitting. I look forward to getting feedback once he he is under saddle this week.

After a successful first day yesterday, I'm all ready for day 2 of my Halotherapy Clinic. All horses treated yesterday were really good and I look forward to seeing them today. Lots of dripping noses ....... and not just the horses 🤣

Rebel has now been with me for a week. There is no immediate hurry to get him "fixed and rehomed", he is a longer term project and so we have a bit of time to play with. The first week has just been about settling in. He has experienced quite a lot in his short life, so time to relax into his surrou...

Did you know we have a blog on our website? https://www.branstonequinerehab.co.uk/blog/read_198769/rebels-arrival.html

Following on from a recent conversation with my contact at the RSPCA about a young miniture horse with stifle issues requiring a bit of rehab before being rehomed, saw the arrival of Rebel. The background of this young man was that he had been recently rescued, was around 12 months old and had been....

Well this week has been a full on week. Not only have I seen my regular equine physio clients but I have had my first week providing my new Halotherapy treatment. I have treated for both skin and respiratory issues, with good results. I am surprised at how many horses I am coming across that have a cough this year, that have never suffered with one in the past. It seems to me that environmental factors among other things appear to be playing havoc with our horses respiratory systems this year more so than previous years. This has been the case with my own horse Tommy, who has been a great candidate for my new treatment! Obviously, it is not a replacement for veterinary treatment, but does provide another option for drug-free support alongside veterinary care as required.
