As some of you may know, on the 27th May 2022, we lost our boy Zane Smart. My beautiful nephew lost his life to the hands of knife crime.

Words cannot explain what we’re going through. This is becoming all too common for many families.

We would like to initiate change in our communities by starting a foundation to create awareness, educate communities and provide bleed kits locally so we can prevent more young lives being lost.

I would like to ask for your help to get us started with The Zane Smart Foundation. Please read the link for more information.
We’re asking for a donation of what ever you can afford. We appreciate how challenging times are currently therefore would be even more grateful.

If you cannot donate, you can support us by sharing this post so we can reach as many people, communities and areas as possible.

We all know the power of social media so let’s use it’s power to try and build something positive from this horrific nightmare we’re living in.

Please follow us on Instagram:

Thank you for all of your kind words, support and love during this time ❤️

On the 27th May 2022, we lost our boy, Zane Kyle Smart to the horrific event of knife cri… Vanessa Steer needs your support for The Zane Smart Foundation

When asked, I always say that yes, there is a place for massage pads, compression guns and other gadgets, but nothing beats the tailored treatment that hands can offer!

Hands are the best sensory organ to feel the change

So, for me I have a few machines but my first service is using my hands, why do we discriminate to the power of the what we feel, surely a hand with all the sensory system can feel a tissue difference and therefore apply what is needed and when is needed.

We live in an age of quick fixes and miracle cures and in realty the body needs to heal at its own pace for full recovery, gone are the times where we would turn a horse away to recover from a serious tendon or ligament injury I mean tendons recovering and your horse back to work in 6 weeks is for me ludicrous, just because we have the tissue recovery (and please who ever does scans every 6 weeks tp make sure everything is on track) does that mean the rest of the body has recovered from the compensation.

As often we always find another limb will start showing problems later on as the compensation pattern tries to do the best it can.

For me you have to research claims that something is the new wonder cure, and by research, I mean peer reviewed objective research, I mean I have heard some claims of such a machine cures laminitis in 14 weeks with daily use but wouldn't your horse just with corrective care be better in 14 weeks???

The body has an amazing ability to heal but we have to allow nature to takes its course, the horse cannot give feedback like a human if you don't know the signs you will not recognise when it's too much and unless we have scans we cannot tell what is naturally occurring or the process is sped up because of a machine and remember as with most therapies they probably started off in the beauty business with humans and jeez how much of that do we believe, because the aging process is natural and we can't hold off the ageing process no matter how much we try to believe we can



All I say is do your research don't be bamboozled by big claims and companies who have their own “research” be informed make the correct choice for your horse.

Machines will never take place of feeling the rhythm, the pulse the subtle movements beneath our hands with our hands we ae guided when to go, when to stop and when to change the pressure

Building a brand... not a one man band!

EGO - I have seen it ruin so MANY businesses!

Making it MY business and not A Business...

Like it can't exist without you?

It's true that it wouldn't exist without you... but

If you want your business to leave a legacy or give you more time freedom...

You have to GIVE AWAY THE REINS!

You have to be prepared to let go of the ego and build a business that can run without you! (and yes even if you are a one-man band we can do that)

Because, if your business can't run without you...

You have made a job for yourself and not built a business that will support you long-term!

That is ok if that is what you want... (No shame)

But if you want a business that works when you don't.

You need to start seeing your business differently.

Start today simply by calling it THE business, rather than MY business...

And we can work on the rest!

So today was a bit out of the ordinary. Rather than massaging your lovely horses, my Prince's Trust mentor (Helen Bolus) and I travelled to London to do a photoshoot for Goodhousekeeping magazine. It was a fantastic experience and we're looking forward to seeing the result in the July edition. As always, I am so grateful to the trust and Helen for the support they have offered Red Equine Physical Therapy. Without them, I'd have been lost in the minefield of business and finance. Yes I knew my trade, but did I know my way around a tax return before them? Nope! Now I'm confident and thriving, all while doing a job I absolutely love! I would thoroughly recommend the Prince's Trust to all young budding entrepreneurs. It really is a fantastic opportunity and an organisation I feel proud to be a part of ❤️🙌

🙌🙌🙌

Probably one of the greatest messages I’ve ever received 😂

Of course those that know me will know I didn’t justify this with a reply (and apparently 131 other messages, I should probably go through these). I did first type out “I’ve never shod a horse but I could do it for £30?”

⬇️⬇️

£55- what does it cover?

✅ Experience
✅ Multiple qualifications
✅ Admin time
✅ Route planning
✅ Uniform costs
✅ Car wear and tear
✅ Proven results
✅ Diary management
✅ Social media management
✅ Vet permissions and or discussions
✅ Continued professional development
✅ Business insurance
✅ Car business insurance
✅ Accountancy fees
✅ Business account fees
✅ Travel time
✅ Membership bodies
✅ Massage equipment
✅ Training facilities
✅ Apps for assessment notes
✅ Free insurance referrals

The list is endless.

I started this journey 12 years ago, and I started at £25 per horse and £15 per person.

One of the biggest things about having your own business is to KNOW YOUR WORTH

Kudos to this person though 🙈

Bank holiday who? 🤷‍♀️

6 of Summerfield Stables lovely horses had massages today and it was great day in the sunshine. I got to chat and demo to the pony club group and they had lots of really good questions to keep me on my toes! On the way home I even got to meet the cutie at the end! Now time for me to use the Epiony heat pad on myself 🤣

Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🎄🎅❤️

Jeffrey loved the attention, Duchess on the other hand wasn't a fan of the tinsel and had a good sulk over it 🤣

A huge thank you to all of the lovely clients I had the pleasure of visiting this year. Here's to hoping that 2022 is a great one 🥂

❗️Exciting news❗️

All too often I am asked about treating riders and I have a great interest in a holistic approach to therapy, looking at all factors that impact on the horse. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce that today I enrolled on a diploma in HUMAN sports massage 💆‍♀️😁.

At some point in the not-too-distant future you will have the option of booking yourselves in at the same time as your horses, so you can feel the benefits that your bestie does first hand (excuse the pun 🙌🤣)

This is such an exciting opportunity for and we are really looking forward to being able to offer additional services to our clients, both 4-legged and 2 🏇

Their blood stained the land,
as they served with pride.
A duty to their master,
they stood side by side.
From the sky, to the sea,
through a vast open land,
together they fought
both animal and man.

Lest we forget
