Otago Animal Osteo

01/02/2024

Hello! I’ve received quite a few enquiries over the past couple of weeks, this is just a wee note to remind anyone looking here first that I am no longer taking on new horse clients and will be finishing up working with horses and dogs for a wee while in a couple of weeks! Thanks a bunch

27/11/2023

Happy *almost* the end of the year Team!

I have a couple of commitments in the next couple of weeks that have me pretty tied up and are squashing my work into a concentrated time before Xmas, as a result I only have time for a couple more bookings before I wind down for the season.

Unfortunately my body isn’t holding up to the work so I’m having to decrease my numbers a bit sooner than planned and as a result am now closing my books to new clients sorry. There are some great other equine body workers in our area who I’m sure will be able to help you out!

Happy November and December!

This is cool, how about phone on the end of a broom handle/selfie stick to check your horses spinal movement in motion

The team needed some TLC after getting the gazebo set up in the wind this morning 🤣

Slight change of plans, no longer in the Wallace pavilion but on the edge of the ring near the toilets by the Wallace pavilion at the Otago Equine Expo Plus

Central Otago Followers! So excited to see Bianca Coutts coming into this area of work! I trained with this lovely lady in Auckland to be a human osteopath and it’s awesome to see her branching into the animal realm as well. Here is another option for an osteopathic approach to animal health care, follow her page for her details

Bianca Coutts
Osteopath B.App. Sci., M.Ost., Int'l. AO.

"I have always been interested in how pain and dysfunction presents in animals. Through my equestrian career I saw a lot of problems in horses that manifested as behavioural issues and wasn’t always identified as pain. Even before my osteopathic training I have tried to be aware of behaviours or change in animals that could suggest pain. They have their own ways of trying to tell us and I do think people are becoming more attuned to this, which is great. Injuries happen, they just have a different way of communicating this to us. Which is where I can come in.
​
My training consisted of five years of fulltime study at Unitec in Auckland, coming out of this with a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Master of Osteopathy.
I have completed the canine portion of my postgraduate Diploma in Animal Osteopathy through Stuart McGregor and the London College of Osteopathy and am currently completing the equine portion.
​
On a personal note, I competed in show jumping at a national level, with particular involvement in the young horse age group series. My real passion has always been in producing young horses. I enjoy working with young horses to give them a positive start and move them up through the age group ranks. I also enjoy working with ‘problem’ horses – trying to get to the root cause of their issues. I am also the proud owner of a dog named Suki".

Hello!

I’ve recently had lots of enquiries from new clients which is fabulous! So I thought I would do a post about my availability for all new and my wonderful current clients!

While many of may have met Tate already, cute photo for reference 🤣, for those that haven’t - he is the reason why I often can’t accommodate out of work hours requests. Simply it’s just too hard and not fair on Tate. We also live about 10 minutes out of Milton so travel time is a big factor.

He has coped tremendously with doing big days treating horses but is now struggling with extended pram time since he’s starting to want to explore the world a bit more. So from now on I’m going to limit most of my days to 2-3 horses (except my middlemarch/maniototo trips, where I often am lucky enough to have extra hands to help)

So with that said:

Taieri/Brighton/Dunedin areas - you can find me here Monday Mornings and Fridays prior to 2.30pm

Clutha/Lawerence - one morning (usually a Tuesday or Wednesday) per week

Middlemarch/Maniototo- once every 6 weeks

Waikouaiti/Palmerston- when there are enough bookings for a trip

Alternatively you can bring your horses, or yourselves to me at Milton on a Saturday or Sunday if I’m around home!

Outside of these areas please message me to discuss!

Base prices are $110 per horse (incl travel), extra travel charges may apply. I’ve tried to keep my prices as low as possible for as long as I can and will review them at the end of the financial year.

Hope you all have a great week!

North Dunedin - Waikouaiti- Palmerston - Hampden

I’ve had a couple of requests to come through this way and am looking at making a day of it next Friday. Message me if you have a horse or 🐶 in need of some TLC before Xmas

This is my last available time slots before Xmas so get in quick

Just replenished my stash of Equi Massage Rollers! If you want one I usually have them in my truck with me and can show you how to use them. Thanks Malisa Landreth for allowing me to be a stockist of these they make my job so much easier 👌

Well 2020 your almost done and dusted! That being said thought I would drop a little note to say I’m fully (over) booked between now and Xmas

Have a safe December everyone!

Excellent wee poke raisers for anyone I’ve given horse exercises to!

24/07/2020

Phew hopefully things continue on the way up after all this Covid havoc!

That being said I feel I need to shed some light on why my wait times are huge (up to 4 weeks) at the moment.

Many here won’t know that this is, for want of a better explanation, my side gig. I work a full time clinic position Monday to Friday with people in Central Dunedin - if you want work done on yourselves I can give you the contact details. It’s really busy we are still trying to catch up from lockdown.

Winter time I am also committed to medicing for our local senior rugby team and helping with junior rugby. This means my time for horses and dogs is limited by time, weather and daylight hours - I quite like to eat dinner off a plate instead of out of a night & day bag 😂

In light of this I have decided to not take on any new clients until the end of September - (for those that I have been in contact with discussing appointments but haven’t yet met, don’t worry your not getting cancelled!!)

15/06/2020

Excited to be invited as a clinician to do a demo at the expo - check out the expo page got ticket details!

Why not make your next treatment a good deed too and bid to donate!

Great deal

What a whirl wind couple of days!

Sadly with the updated status alert in NZ I am unable to provide any animal osteo services until the Level 3/4 statuses are lifted.

Between now and then if I can be of any assistance over the phone or via message please get in touch.

To those who have been in contact about bookings I am sorry I haven’t been able to get to you - I will be in touch in the next couple of days and also closer to the time when things start returning to normal to schedule times with you.

Unfortunately amongst this chaos my surgery has been cancelled and will unfortunately mean I will require more time out once all of this is over.

Take care of your families and your animals in these times and enjoy a reset (of sorts) like I will be myself 🙌

After a busy week it’s safe to say this busted ankle is slowing me down more than I thought with the help of this moon boot.

I need to slow down in order for it to heel so there may be a bit of a wait for me to see horses and dogs for a week or two.

Many apologies but will take a bit to catch up on bookings from bad weather and the ones already confirmed!

19/02/2020

Xmas came early (or late 😂)

Excited to let everyone know I’ve joined the Activo-Med family with Animal Therapeutics Online 👋

Just arrived a brand spanking Activo-Med Rug which combines pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) with cyclonic massage 🙌

I also got this wee treat below a WLP treatment machine which is hopefully working its magic on my busted ankle 🙄

Haven’t worked out prices yet for these guys but they will be offered as stand alone treatments and combined with osteo body work too 🐴

Keep an eye out for more info when these are going to be available or message me to find out more!

12/02/2020

Otago Animal Osteo is going to sponsor our Local Barrel Race and Equi Massage Roller are going to throw in a $10 voucher

At the moment we only have 3 entries, if we get them up to and over 10 Kelly will throw in a free osteopathic treatment for one of our lucky local ladies to be drawn at random on Rodeo day 👌

Share and tell your friends and get them to come along and have a go

Super excited to have this top of the line product currently winging its way to little old Dunedin to offer to my clients!

Along with it is a therapeutic red light laser - which I also can't wait to get my hands on 👏

Send us a DM if your keen on booking this in for your horse!

We were again recently reminded why the best riders in the world choose Activo-Med. We met a talented horse who was refusing to drink after travelling interstate to an event, and was becoming increasingly stressed. Within 10 minutes of the PEMF cycle of the Sequence 02 Activo-Med program, the horse instantly dived for its water and took a big long drink,and buried it's face in the hay (which it had been fussy about), We wouldn't have believed it either had it not happened in front of our eyes. And... The best thing? This happens every day...

Get the very best for your performance horse.

Big weekend down in Southland and as of today I am fully booked between now and xmas, to the point where I’m even fitting a special horse in before my normal working day!

Thanks to everyone for a great year and all the best with the holiday season 🌲

Good luck to those hitting the road and competing at rodeos over the xmas break 👍

I will resume bookings in the new year from January the 6th ❤️

04/12/2019

Arrived home from holiday to find 🎄 had come early and a new one of these turned up in the post ✉️

Massive thanks to Equi Massage Roller for sending it my way 🙏

This wee tool, well it’s bigger version as this one hasn’t been used yet, has been a game changer in treating horses for me, not only does it speed up the time in which it takes to do muscular work; it saves my hands and they’re not any where near as sore after a long day 👌

An absolute must have for the horse kit. If you need any help or tips on how to use get in touch with these guys or ask me next time you see me using mine on a 🐴

25/11/2019

I don’t know where this year has gone 🤔

Firstly thank you to all those who have helped me get off the ground by giving me a shot and passing on referrals, I really appreciate your time and efforts and enjoy seeing the benefits you are seeing with your animals.

Not long to xmas now 🙈 - did that really just come out of my mouth 😂, so in order to not burn myself out I’m going to be a little bit organised and also strict with my availability!

(Tomorrow) Tuesday 26 Nov - Mosgiel, I have time for one to two more in the late evening

28th Thurs - Tues 3rd Dec Closed - on holiday ✈️

Wednesday 4th - evening local Brighton/ Mosgiel

Saturday 7th - will be at Mad Bull B&Bs jackpot

Friday 13th & Saturday morning 14th - Mossburn area - probably based at Olivia Ross residence

Saturday 14th afternoon - Owaka, Clutha - heading to Lawerence

Sunday 15th - T.B.C (in next couple of days) Lawerence - limited spots available with first offer going to current clients 👌

My co-pilots getting tired and I’m off to sleep too!
