Brittany Gray lives by the belief that nothing with horses can be reduced to black and white. Each horse is an individual with a unique blend of breed, age, discipline, injury history, work load, height, conformation -- the list can keep going. And therein lies the gray area. It is with this philosophy that she approaches equine bodywork with her company Gray Scale Equine LLC - Bodywork & Services.

🍁 FALLing into a safe season change 🍁

As autumn paints the landscape with vibrant colors, it’s important to be aware of how fall can impact your horse’s health.

🌾 **Pasture Management**: The cooler fall temperatures can cause certain grasses to accumulate sugars, increasing the risk of laminitis. Monitor your horse’s grazing time and consider using a grazing muzzle if necessary.

🍂 **Leaves and Acorns**: Fallen leaves(especially Red Maple leaves) and acorns may be tempting snacks for your horse, but they can be harmful if ingested in large quantities. Keep pastures clean and free of potential toxins.

🌧️ **Weather Changes**: Rapid shifts in weather, from warm days to chilly nights, can stress your horse’s metabolism. Ensure they have access to shelter and consider using blankets to keep them warm.
It’s also important to monitor your horse for signs of colic with drastic changes in temperature.

👩‍⚕️ **Regular Hoof Care**: Fall is an excellent time for a thorough hoof check. Regular trimming and monitoring can help prevent laminitis or detect it early.

🍂 **Nutrition Check**: Evaluate your horse’s diet to match the changing season. Adjust their feed, ensuring they get the right balance of nutrients to support their energy needs.

💉**Vet Check**: Schedule a fall vet check to update vaccinations, deworming, and dental care. A healthy horse is better equipped to handle seasonal challenges.

👀 **Watch for Warning Signs**: Stay vigilant for signs of illness or discomfort, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or weight. Early detection can prevent larger health issues.

By staying informed and proactive during the fall season, you can help protect your horse and ensure they enjoy a safe and comfortable autumn. 🐴🍂

EQ900: Anatomy Discovery Workshop (Clay & Hands-On)🐴📚

This 7 day(204 hours with externship) RACE approved course takes Equine Anatomy to the next level.

Bones, models, handouts, visuals, books, reference material, and live horses are all utilized to deepen our understanding of equine anatomy as we build the horse’s musculature layer by layer on an Equiken® model. While in the barn, we palpate and/or locate these structures on live horses.

This course deepened my understanding and appreciation for the horse’s anatomy. It gave me a unique perspective on function and dysfunction of these complex structures. I can’t wait to have even more lightbulb moments as I work towards completing my externship for the EQ900!

❓Why do we ask you to groom your horse before an Equine Bodywork session❓

Believe it or not, it’s not because we’re afraid to get dirty!

A dirty coat can cause:

🧼 Discomfort

🧼 Inaccurate reads on muscle tone

🧼 Inconsistency in friction which causes inconsistent & choppy strokes

We ask you to groom your horses to ensure that they get the absolute most out of their sessions!

They don’t need to be pristine but a solid curry/brush will make a huge difference 💛
