Fully qualified McTimoney Animal Chiropractor & Sports Animal Massage therapist, providing clinics all over the United Kingdom. STOP, OBSERVE AND LISTEN TO YOUR ANIMALS

Having grown up around animals, it was no surprise that I dedicated years of study to enhance my knowledge and specialise in physical therapies. I have a Bachelor of Honours in Equine Sports Science with Psychology and a Masters

Distinction in McTimoney Animal Manipulation. I also have a diploma in Animal Sports Massage therapy, NVQ stage three and a BHS stage one and two. My background in horses started in pony club, competing competitively in Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing, until I outgrew my pony and he had to be retired. I then spent three months at the British Racing School in Newmarket where I learnt about flat racing and from there worked for Trainers Richard Fahey and Brian Ellison riding as a professional jockey on the flat. From here I then travelled to Australia for a year working for Chris Waller, David Payne and Tony McEvoy specialising in track work. After completing my BSc I worked with Witheford Equine specialising in problem or "misunderstood" horses. It was here that I learnt about how horses communicate and the impact pain or discomfort has on behaviour and subsequent performance. I then spent 4 years in Oxfordshire working with Premier Pre Dressage, facilitating in equine rehabilitation cases and in schooling and competing livery horses. I was fortunate to competed Internationally in Dressage up to PSG on clients horses, representing GB for the MCI. During my time at Premier Pre I trained weekly with International Dressage rider Alice Hurley and every few months with Olympic Dressage Rider and Trainer Richard Davidson and feel that I can relate to clients from a ridden perspective. I treat every animal as an individual and take pride in providing a Holistic Service. My mission is to educate every owner and provide them with the tools to help their four legged friends through the ups and downs of training, competing and injury. Team work is vital for optimal performance and welfare, therefore I enjoy working part of a team of paraprofessionals (Vets, Farriers, Dentists, Saddlers and Other practitioners). I am fully insured with the MMA, AHRP and the technique of Chiropractic, McTimoney is also recognised by BEVA as one of its MusculoSkeletal Paraprofessionals. Prior to any treatment Veterinary Permission is required as part of the 1966 Veterinary Act. If you have any questions please contact me : https://forms.gle/RdZ29VpZ8LPzU6pk6

Being self employed can be a lonely journey, driving around the UK, flying abroad means many hours travelling, learning and being in my head.

I love what I do, however the travel and wear and tear on my body can take its toll.

Getting clients results is at the forefront of what I can and when I get reviews like this, it definitely recignites the fire within 🦋🐎

Friendly reminder to practice what you preach 🦋

Yoga is part of my weekly routine 🧘🏼‍♀️

Some days it’s tough,
Some days are emotional,
Some days I feel like superwoman

The 🗝️ is consistency ❤️

Groundwork doesn’t always have to mean lunging or long lining your horse.

Let’s make it fun!

Yesterday, I posted a video about my idea of fun with horses. If you missed it, go and check it out! 🎥

Fun, as long as you and your horse are safe and not in danger, can take many forms.

These are some of the reasons we don’t have fun:
* We think we’re doing it wrong
* We aim for perfection
* Our horse doesn’t IMMEDIATELY do what we ask them to do!

Can you relate?

Here are some tips I go by to make groundwork enjoyable:
* Lower your expectations: It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress.
* Stop overthinking: Enjoy the moment and the experience with your horse.
* Listen to your horse: Remember, you’re working with a living being, not a machine. They won’t always do as you say, and that’s okay!

We often forget that horses have their own thoughts and feelings. 9 out of 10 times, they don’t do what we want because our intention and the way we asked were half-hearted or confusing!

BONUS TIP: Adopt the mindset that you are talking to a 5-year-old. This will not only make it super easy for your horse to understand but also improve your way of communicating. 🗣️

Go and have fun this weekend!
If you want more guidance when it comes to groundwork, fun, and better understanding your horse’s pain points and struggles, DM me the words FUN GUIDE.

Saddle Fitting: Busting Myths🏇

Saddle fitting can be a messy and complicated topic, influenced by many variables. Here are some key points to consider:

✅ Dynamic Fit: Saddles must be adjusted to suit a horse's movement, not just its static position.
🙌🏻 Teamwork: Effective saddle fitting requires collaboration between the rider, saddle fitter, and other professionals.
❌ Eliminate Pain: Always rule out pain or underlying pathology first.
🐴 Back to Basics: Sometimes, addressing saddle fit issues involves going back to groundwork and basic exercises.
➡️ Regular Checks: Regular saddle checks are essential to maintain your horse's posture and performance.

Read the full blog to understand how proper teamwork and assessment can solve saddle fitting challenges and ensure your horse’s well-being.

Groundwork with our horses

Why do we find it boring?

Here’s my take:

❌ We associate groundwork with Lunging
❌ Going around in a circle is boring (for you and your horse)
❌ We don’t understand the benefits
❌Our horse’s don’t listen to us
❌We think that for our horses to release energy, they need to cantering around
❌It’s something you only do when your horse has had an injury OR when you are starting a young horse

Sound familiar?

This was the old me and the old ways I was taught about groundwork for horses. It’s not our fault, as many of these beliefs are still thought to be fact today.

Here is the new me and my new way of thinking about groundwork:

✅ Provides me with the BEST way of assessing how my horse is feeling and moving
✅ It’s fun because guess what? I DON’T LUNGE ON A CONSTANT CIRCLE
✅ Allows 100’s of ways to improve my horse’s weaknesses therefore when I ride them - the entire process is easier!
✅ Improves my relationship and connection with my horse
✅ It’s a fantastic way of exercising my horse - especially developing the deep postural muscles.

If you want help with groundwork for your horse; comment “groundwork” below and I’ll send through my FREE guide to get you started.

Any other questions re groundwork and what exercises to do with your horse, DM me.

🌟 Welcome to June!

We’re officially halfway through the year, and I wanted to extend a warm welcome to all my new followers and a massive thank you to my long-term followers and clients.

Here’s a little intro about me:

Qualifications:
I’ve been qualified as an Animal Chiropractor and Soft Tissue Therapist for almost a decade.

Facts You Might Not Know About Me:

🌍 Born in South Africa: I immigrated to the UK when I was 12 with my 12hh pony, Sir Bently. 🐴
🇫🇷 Year in France: Before moving to the UK, I spent a year in France, where our dogs could live in our house instead of being in a quarantine station. 🐶
🏇 Show Jumping: I competed in show jumping while in France.
🐎 Flat Racing: When I outgrew Sir Bently, I transitioned to flat racing and became an amateur flat race jockey, winning 2 out of 5 races! 🏆
🇦🇺 Year in Australia: I spent a year in Australia riding racehorses. This is where I fell in love with therapy after watching an equine acupuncturist at work. 🏇
🎓 Education: I completed my BSc and aspired to become an Animal Acupuncturist, only to find out that in the UK, you must be a vet to practice acupuncture on animals.
🐴 Equine Behaviourist: I spent 4 years working for an Equine Behaviourist, riding and rehabbing “behavioral” horses.
🎓 Masters in Manipulation: I earned my Masters in Manipulation with the McTimoney Chiropractic.
🏇 Dressage Training: While studying for my Masters, I changed jobs and became a dressage rider, training with renowned trainers like Alice Hurley, Richard Davidson, Victor Alvarez, and Pamela Bushshall.
🏅 Competitions: I trained a few horses from Prelim to PSG and competed across Europe.
🏡 Relocation: I relocated my therapy business from Oxfordshire to Leeds.
💡 Advanced Training: I trained in Advanced Chiropractic, Laser Therapy (class 3B), Taping, and Fascial Release Therapy.
📚 Course Development: I developed a course called Heal Your Horse, which provides owners with the tools they need to better understand their horse’s performance through specific targeted exercises that strengthen weaknesses and develop strengths.

My special place 🐎

31/05/2024

I don’t want to forget about the other four legged animals that I treat….

Treating dogs and cats are also part of my weekly routine and I really enjoy the challenges they bring up.

From spinal cases which involve care at home management with support for both Dog and Owner to maintenance treatments for the prevention of body wear and tear.

The biggest difference I find between dogs and cats compared to horses is that the signs are very often unnoticed. Because we ride horses, we are more attentive and recognise when they are in need of a treatment. When it comes to our small legged furry companions, we often overlook their signs of discomfort and pain.

Here are some of the common symptoms I see :

🐾 reluctance to walk
🐾 changes in behaviour- aggression to being lethargic
🐾 slowing down either on walks or reluctant to play with others
🐾 Refusing to jump up and down the sofa or bed
🐾 making a sound like a yelp when you pick them up

Dogs and cats are very good at masking their symptoms as this is part of their survival mechanism. If you are unsure, please speak to your veterinarian and Bodyworker as we should all be working together as a team.

Ulverston Clinic complete ✅

Treating an array of different cases over the past 2 Days.

From show ponies having their first chiropractic treatment to golden oldies needing supportive work.

I was again reminded of the power of team work 🙌.

One horse really stands out, as the last time I saw him was in March 2024 where we referred him to a lameness specialist as he was showing intermittent signs of poor performance. Since then he was treated by the Vet and then followed a step by step rehab plan to get him back under saddle. Seeing him yesterday, really made me smile and brought a warm feeling to my heart. Not only was he moving better, but he looked happier within himself. His eyes were softer, less stress lines around his muzzle and he was happier to be lunged with no explosions! This really was a team effort:

✅ Accurate Vet diagnosis and treatment
✅ Open communication between the Vet- Chiropractor and Owner
✅ Tailored Plan of rehab to suit the horse and owner
✅ Support for the Owner during the stages of rehab

Another example of the importance of team work was working alongside the Vet, farrier, Soft tissue therapist and owner. This particular horse was on box rest due to a front right pathology. Due to the nature of her injury, she had to have a period of time on box rest with restricted inhand walking 2x a day.
Having a farrier, chiropractor and massage therapist working together gave the owner clarity and support during the uncertain period of recovery. Farriers are true magic workers and having someone who is open minded, communicative and watches your horse carefully, is a real asset to your team!
This lovely lady is back in work and aiming for her first competition next month!

Thank you to all my lovely clients in the Ulverston area!

See you in a few months!

Why is team work so important?

Over the last few months I have made a conscious effort to attend assessment days with my clients.

Why?

Besides the obvious reason of hearing exactly what the Vet has to say.

Physically being there makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Weekly roundup!

It’s been an emotional rollercoaster 🤪

Besides getting completely drenched on Wednesday, which meant re-routing home to change all my clothes, even my knickers 😳, and having to leave my car in the garage on Thursday morning (unexpected!). I did fit in 2️⃣ team work assessment days.

These assessment days are tricky to arrange as we have to link up the diary of a vet, chiropractor trainer and owner!! However it can happen and has happened.

Why would these days need to happen?

In the ideal world, I would love to have assessment days like this every day for every owner, especially in the beginning stages of solving a problem. This week we came together for two different case studies:

1️⃣ A horse that was struggling to canter on 1 lead only

2️⃣ A horse that was showing intermittent signs of lameness

What was I reminder of?

The horse’s body is a clever matrix and therefore when we work together as a team, we not only improve a horse’s performance, but we give the owner clarity, removing the fear and confusion.

My goal is to work more closely with professionals.

Something shifts, when you come together as a team, listening, questioning and hearing one another.

Try it!

Equi tape in Horses

Over the last six months I have introduced taping to support chiropractic and manual therapy.

Even though I don’t do it on every horse, in certain cases the benefits of using this modality alongside especially adjustments subjectively appears to have a positive effect on the horses body.

I’m curious, have you ever had an area of your body taped?

Groundwork with horses:

This is what I used to think about groundwork.

“I don’t have time!”
“Lunging is boring and frustrating”
“I don’t know where to start when it comes to groundwork”
“What if I’m doing it wrong?”

Firstly, as long as you and your horse are safe and you are not causing your horse any pain, groundwork is absolutely 100% doable!

Here’s how I would start:

1️⃣ Use no gadgets - expect for a cavesson noseband, gloves and lunge rope.
2️⃣ Stay in walk - no poles or other objects (yet)
3️⃣ Walk with your around the arena - try different shapes, sizes and practice walk - halt transitions.

Yep, That’s it!

Comment below and let me know your biggest struggle when it comes to groundwork with your horse.

Great to be part of this team👏💪🏻

Team work makes the dream work 🎉

Another horse that with a change of saddle and brilliant team work has transformed. Kate Jones and Lady Derbys horse just 19 months apart 🙏 so much stronger. He is another horse that had saddle slip and quite a severe asymmetry. With understanding the detail we were firstly able to help and gradually correct his dysfunctional habits. He now has no saddle slip and gets stronger every visit 🙏

🌟 What a crazy few weeks it’s been! 🤪

🐎 General stiffness and slow warm-ups
🐎 Short, shuffly trots

And from our canine friends:
🐶 Refusal to walk
🐶 Behavioral changes linked to pain
🐶 Knocking over agility poles
🐶 Difficulty jumping up and down
🐶 Post-IVDD flare-up care
🐶 Unexplained lameness
🐶 Stiffness in the hind legs

Working with horses is SO MUCH MORE THAN RIDING Don’t get me wrong when I was younger it was all about riding. I’ve done everything from being a flat jockey to showjumping to riding and training to PSG. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to help horses by training to be a chiropractor and full body healer. I still miss riding though…. My new goal is to build a strong relationship with horses so that I can eventually one day ride with no tack. Am I crazy? ##healyourhorse##horseriding##horsetraining##horsegirl##horselover##equestrianlife##horsegroundwork##horse

Bum Tilt "caudal pelvic tilt" exercise. The key is always safety! Make sure your horse is relaxed and happy for you to stand behind them! Then slowly and gently ask them to tuck their pelvis. Hold the activation for 5 secs. If your horse is showing you signs of discomfort- speak to your professional. Don't persist! Horse's communicate using their body language - non verbal- therefore don't ignore the subtle signs.
