🐴One day massage workshop for horse owners🐴
Venue: Knightsfield Stud, Kildare
Date: 10th September 2022

These practical, very hands on and excellent value for money 1 day clinics are designed for all horse owners who want to provide the best care for their horses and discover a new equestrian skill at the same time. By learning Equi-eds unique combination of massage techniques and stretching you will be able to undertake a full massage on your horse. The techniques can be performed pre competition, post competition, to help muscle injuries and as a general maintenance massage. By working through the physical and psychological aspects of the horse you will discover that massage not only improves performance, wellbeing and helps prevent injury but when an owner learns to massage their own horse it embraces a deeper trust and bonding in the partnership bringing a remarkable experience for both.
Level 3 certified course

Im sure many of us can relate to this.
The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.
For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done he left behind a broken heart and a soul
from which he never will part.

Choose to be grateful.

I turned my horses out this morning, wishing their paddocks were just a little bit closer so I could have an extra 10 minutes in bed. 1500 miles away, horse owners are walking their beloved friends to forests and fields and letting them go, hoping they have given them the best chance of survival, not knowing if they’ll ever see them again.

I walked down to the arena yesterday, looking to the sky, cursing the rain as it fell. 1500 miles away they are stood watching the sky for missles and planes, praying that the distant explosions don’t get any closer.

I complained about the price of fuel today, how was I supposed to pay for that on top of hay, shoes, training and entry fees? 1500 miles away owners are risking their lives for a bale of hay or bag of feed after deliveries were unable to reach people and supplies were exhausted.

I started to make a plan working towards my first event of the season today and found myself frustrated at the lack of places to do some good canter work. 1500 miles away, people are just praying they’ll survive the next 24 hours. They are simply grateful for every passing minute their barns are left standing and that they are still breathing.

I sat in traffic today, annoyed that I might not make it home with time to ride. 1500 miles away, people are sheltering underground for days as their cities and hometowns are surrounded, with no means or way of escaping.

So today, let go of the little things and choose to be grateful.
Be grateful that all you see in the sky is clouds.
Be grateful that your house and yard is still standing.
Be grateful that your horse is stood eating hay or out grazing without threat.
Be grateful that you can still ride and enjoy your horses.
Be grateful that you, and your horses, are safe… and pray for those that aren’t.
