Meet the TEAM!

Running a farm is no small task! It takes a lot of man power and hours to make sure everything runs smoothly. Which is why I’m so grateful for my volunteers!!!

Georgi has been with ROS since the spring and has been such a tremendous help! From scrubbing buckets, dusting the cob webs, cleaning paddocks, tack cleaning & grooming. Georgi learned many things during her time here, including that riding your horse is often times the smallest % of what we do😆.

Since today is Georgi’s last day we made sure to get some riding in. Her favorite is Tango (can’t blame her😁💙). You can’t go wrong with tall, dark & handsome!

If you know anyone that is looking for volunteer hours, loves horse & doesn’t mind getting dirty send them on over!!

🫖Time to spill the tea on this week’s blend of herbal infusion.

🍵Did you know that 1 cup of tea a day can help with digestion, reduce anxiety, sooth respiratory strain, helps cleanse the body, boost metabolism, aids painful muscles & arthritis.

☕️Like many of us, we depend on our morning routine and beverage to jump start our day! If we can feel our best, then we can do our best. We want the same for our horses!

Each morning the horses here have their own routine including getting herbal infused tea. They love it! Don’t take my word for it…give it a try!

☑️Trusted source - Organically grown and wild crafted herbs are produced right here on the farm.

❤️Beneficial - Chemical free and rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants & essential amino acids.

🌿FRESH – “Farm to table” or should I say “garden to kettle” process is guaranteed to be the freshest sourced process you can find.

😋Delicious - Herbal infused tea is served top dressed on your horses grain. This is a perfect way to ensure all the supplements bind together and are all consumed.

Curious about adding tea to your horses routine? Reach out, I’d love to chat with you!

It can quickly become a spider web of compensatory patterns that will inevitably lead to other problems. Do you have issues with engagement, tripping, stiff movements, heavy on the forehand, gait abnormality, weak thoracic sling, poor topline, uneven resting stance ….the list goes on and on. We’ve all been there, right?!

By having routine lessons, bodywork & PEMF can help you identify early signs and get your horse back on track.

“The horse just has a little arthritis in his left hock, it doesn’t seem to bother him too much, he just gets a bit stiff!”

Horses are great compensators, and they will create alternative locomotive patterns to continue movement.

So, say this little bit of osteoarthritis causes a reduced range of motion of the tarsal (hock) joint. In an attempt to maintain stride length and hide this dysfunction to potential predators (because you never know when a lion could be waiting around the corner... or a flapping plastic bag!), the tarsal joint is rotated medially (inwards) during the swing phase of the stride. This results in asymmetrical & medial weight bearing through the digit. This places additional stress through medial hamstring muscles, resulting in muscle tension and trigger points. And this is all something that is potentially going on in the affected hindlimb.

A hip hike/drop can occur at corresponding phases of the stride, placing the sacroiliac joint under stress, resulting in paraspinal and asymmetrical gluteal tone/pain.

Decreased impulsion from the left hindlimb leads to increased weight bearing through the right forelimb diagonal. This can create tension and hypertrophy to the right pectoral muscles and related fascial planes.

The spiral of compensation could continue on further, affecting cervical muscles that become hypertonic as a result of weight shifting, digit shape and size, TMJ pain, head tiling, hyoid dysfunction, asymmetric tail holding...

Often it can be the case where I see a horse that is a chronic stage of compensation and it can be difficult to find the true cause especially when the horse may appear just overall “stiff”.

I liken the rehabilitation of chronic cases to peeling the layers off an onion; one layer at a time and piece by piece to unravel and rewind the compensation spiral. It is important to identify and manage the root cause, rather than just accepting it🐴

This is such a great illustration! Will you dig deep enough to understand the layers of complexity to see the reality of what’s really going on.

What we see VS what we might not see 🥕

There is always more to a behavior or training problem than what we see on the surface 🐴
