I used to think that triggers and trauma were the trouble with tricky horses. Now I see horses in a different light entirely.

Not all trauma is somaticized. Not all trauma becomes a disease. Not all trauma shows up in bad posture. Not all trauma leaves a mark, a scar, a fingerprint. Not all disease and dysfunction in a horse is driven by bad histories the horse survived somehow.

Because I lost count. I lost count how many horse who came across my desk, in a manner of speaking, who didn't need trauma recovery, they needed a vet. They didn't need an animal communicator, they needed X-rays. They didn't need a Healer of Past Lives, they need antibiotics.

This is counter intuitive for some folks to hear me say. Because I have contributed to being labelled, and put in a box. As the open minded "Woo" guy. Having said all of the above. I charge my crystals at the full moon, I track my horses lived history with attention to detail like Sherlock Holmes. I am aware of the patterns and problems my horses have today, are often drawn from what they have lived through.

But I am calling for balance. A return to the middle.

In our pursuit of alternative therapies and options, please do not abandon the stalwart, sometimes crusty, but none the less valuable practices that have been pillars of horsemanship and horse care for decades, if not centuries.

Baby, meet bathwater. It is the same message I have spent much of my last 2 years espousing. A cry from the middle, not from the extremes.

How did you find your balance lately? I want to hear from you.

Managing the care and work load for our herd of horses has just become much easier! Proud to announce our partnership with Livery Live - The Complete App For Equine Yard Management
Yard manager James said:
"Having been in the Equine Industry in a Managerial capacity for over 30 years I cannot rave enough about Livery Live and wish that the program had been available to me many years ago.
Until now I have always had to make up my own charts and Individual horse spreadsheets. Everything is now all in one place at the click of the mouse saving a great deal of time.
It is invaluable for allowing members of staff to track the horses Health and Welfare but also great for allocating daily tasks to an individual or group of horses to a certain member of the staff team.
As full time carer of multiple horses, it is also great for when you're on the move as the handy app on my phone allows me to check any horses record at any time getting rid of the need to be near a computer.
The customer experience is also fantastic, the team are very quick to respond to any questions and are willing to go above and beyond to help. I highly recommend this program to anyone managing a yard from several horses to a very large unit. Livery Live has been an absolute game changer for me and my stafff team in maintaining the health and wellbeing of our Therapy Horse team and the Staff as a whole. I wouldn't like to go back to my old method 'ever'. Many thanks to Livery live for your support!"
