Yesterday I decided to get the heavy stock on the gallop before harrowing. He is still a bit green and can drift to the left but otherwise settles 😂😂
Spuds first hack out the road under saddle 🤗😍 it was literally 2 mins but he was such a dude! Huge puddles of water, cars and vans passing and he didn't blink an eye! This was him walking back and all you can do is try and remind him that he has to walk before he runs 😂 🐎 Spudy is unreal as usual ❤️❤️
Spud when he first arrived..
A massive thank you to all my clients for their support all year, I wouldn't have a business without you! The very best of luck to clients and patients alike in their ventures for the year ahead! Turning off the barn lights for the last time in 2023! 🐎🐎🐴🐴🍀🍀🤗🤗
Update on Spuds progress in the last week. Not much change in the leg as expected but stable manners/handling is coming on leaps and bounds 🥰 mucking out whilst he was eating was a no no at the start with him 🙈 he's getting very affectionate in a rough way though😂
Video attached was a few days ago and he's so much happier even now.. Teeth, feet, mane and another treatment done in the past week.
He loves his little daily potters with turn out afterwards in a small area to get his head down. I do a little bit of weight shifting exercises with him also.
(I know his sheet slips back a bit due to his high withers but I pop on a surcingle at night to keep it in place, he likes to eat his rugs/sheets! as he seems to be quite a warm horse I mess around with different ones in different temps to see what he likes).
This is a video to introduce Spud to the lime light. This is a brief video explaining his back story, where we are now and where we want to go!
🔴 NOTE:
• Basic details are given.
•More indept videos can be shared at a later date.
•All neccessary veterinary intervention was undertaken prior to Spud arriving here.
•Him being rude on the ground can hinder his progress due to unwanted movements at this time. With my daily handling he is now understanding more and more of what I need from him. This helps him greatly.
•He done time at box rest post inital injury, I feel he places weight and walks better than I had anticipated therefore I am utilising that on a daily basis.
•A 12 week programme is NOT his full rehab journey, this was a serious injury and will take longer. 12 weeks is adequate to see a nice improvement and for us all to fall in love with Spudy 😍
RDS Elsie & Taz
A huge congratulations to Elsie and Taz on their round on the first day of the RDS! They had a great round but an unlucky 4 false!
All the hard work and determination payed off to get there and it showed! Again none of it would have been possible without the care and attention of Ruth Malone, with her knowing her ponies inside out! Well done to all 🎉
KC Animal Physio message response
Sorry lads I just thought I'd pop up a little video for all the general enquiries I've been getting via message over the last few weeks and not responded to, I'm not great for messaging so hopefully this will cover the basics of what I do. In my true style of having a head like a sieve I forgot one of the main things I treat and that's arthritis 🙈 Your best bet is to contact me directly on 085-1336872 and have a chat! I hope this helps! Thanks!
Retired racehorse 🤔
Someone has a pep in their step on our handy hack! With being so busy I have been threatening to treat my own two boys for awhile now (too long really) 🙈 Concorde seems happy after having both hocks and sacroiliac treated with INDIBA radio-frequency earlier today 🥰🐎 #majesticconcorde
INDIBA treatment
"Bone bruising" or subchondral bone injury is a common occurrence with young horses in demanding exercise programmes. While the bone is remodeling it can present at varying levels of lameness/soreness. Plenty of time/rest is needed to allow new bone cells to lay down increasing density to said workload and removal of old cells.
I am lucky to be able to help this process along at quite an increased rate, followed by maintence treatments with the use of my INDIBA device. By using a constant flow of radio-frequency at 448 kHz at a subthermal level, we achieve cellular biostimulation, control inflammation, analgesic effects and increase cellular metabolism to name just a few. It is a non invasive treatment that is tolerated and enjoyed very well by patients.
