My beautiful girl. She’s had a tough year but looking onwards and upwards for the next one to be better for her. It’s broken my heart at times seeing her struggle, but it’s looking now like we’re through the other side - for good 🤞🏻.
Thank you for the lovely photo Beth Hibbert 😍.

What a day! Knowing I was coming home to this makes it all worthwhile 🤎🤍🤎☺️
Thank you Kate Gillett of Hairy Pony Diary for keeping me sane today. Massively appreciated 🙏🏻 it would have been so much harder for me without you.
Only two more practical days and two more exams left before becoming a McTimoney Animal Chiropractor McTimoney College of Chiropractic. Oh yes and not to forget my dissertation and portfolio to complete. Lots to do but will all be worth it. I can’t wait to be out there treating and helping animals more!!

Benefits of regular brushing as well as massage.

So what is fascia? And what does it mean when it ‘releases’ during a massage?

Fascia is a thin, sheet of tissue that covers, surrounds, and protects every structure in the body.

Fascia has several forms: Cobweb, honeycomb, and ribbon are a few.

🕸 Cobweb fascia is mainly associated with the internal organs.

🍯 Honeycomb fascia is mainly associated with the blood vessels, bones, nerves and muscles

🎀 Ribbon fascia is what lives directly under the skin

In all it’s various shapes, forms, and roles, it is literally what holds everything in the body together to create functional movement.

During all soft tissue work with a horse, we are always addressing the fascia.

When we say we feel muscle sore, it is usually actually our fascia that gives us that sensation. Horses are the same.

The muscles stretched too much too fast, and the fascia didn’t have time to release and catch up.

When we say we have injured a muscle, its - again- commonly the fascia that has been injured, not the tissue that is the actual muscle.

Fascia has many layers that are meant to hold fluid, to increase glide across each other. Problems occur when an area of fascia gets injured, stuck or dried out, and stops gliding so easily.

The superficial fascia of the body is like a sweater. A “snag” will pull form all other areas of the body just like of you snag your sweater and the thread tightens from all angles.

Also, most of our nerves run along fascia, and there are about six times more nerve receptors in fascia than in any other parts.

When we feel pain, its often from the nerves entrapped within the fascial layers that have for some reason become dry or stuck.

Healthy fascia = a healthy horse.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain healthy fascia is to intentionally brush your horse every day. Move your brush in all directions, not just the direction of the hair.

Take your time and spend 5-10 minutes brushing.

Another really effective and simple way to maintain healthy fascia is to do 20 minutes of intentional walking. Try some slopes, hills, or poles to keep their mind engaged.

Healthy fascia = a healthy horse.

This is my first weekend of many, completing a Masters Degree in Animal Manipulation at the McTimoney College and I’m absolutely loving it! I feel so privileged and proud to have this opportunity to retrain in an area which has held my interest and trust for so many years.
I’m also feeling incredibly proud of myself for achieving a distinction in a Postgraduate Certificate in Animal Massage (level 6), which was also held here at the McTimoney college. All the hard work last year was worth it!
I will be available to treat your horses and dogs once I have organised association with the relevant bodies over the next week or two. Life is so exciting right now!
