Perusing through one of my books “Equine Fitness” by Jec Aristotle Ballou, and thought it was worth a share. “A tight shoulder muscle is most often to blame for a strained tendon in the lower leg”
This is so true, and one of the reasons why massage is such a wonderful preventative. A tightening in a muscle will impact tension all the way down.

Missing you all and your horses! I’m looking forward to when barns are back open but glad everyone is staying safe!

Once a month on a Sunday for many years, Mr. Indigo (a Gypsy cob used for dressage) and his lovely owner Kelly have been staples in my practice. More recently, the Verrill lesson string has jumped on the bandwagon and now their hardworking lesson horses also get some well deserved body work! (Pictured here is Felix. An American Saddlebred)

Well, I would be closer to school if anyone wants to get me a present! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m in Ipswich Monday with time for an extra horse or two!

We have posted this before, but this material is so important that it bears repeating: As this frigid weather settles in, it’s important to keep your horse WARM. Horses are kept warm not only by their winter coat and body fat, but also by their built-in, internal heating system: their digestive tract! Digestion creates microbial fermentation which produces heat and warms your horse. Fiber is digested slowly. This allows the horse’s body to sustain its internal heat for a longer period of time. Hay has a higher fiber content than grain, which means it is digested more slowly than grain…. Therefore, increased hay will help warm your horse more efficiently in winter than increasing his/her grain.

I have a rare fully open Saturday this week if anyone needs their horses worked on!

So we haven’t got to 200 likes yet, but it has come to my attention that there are some people interested in just ordering a hat instead of waiting for the contest. They are $16, which is my cost including shipping. I can also get the pompom hat in black and white if pink isin’t your thing. I’ll be ordering Thursday this week so send me a message or comment and I’ll get you the info to pay. Thanks!!!!!

The gastrocnemius is the equine equivalent to our calf muscle. (Ours is called the gastrocnemius as well!)

Mr. Randy and Mr. Valcor were my heat pad guinea pigs! I feel like it helped me to get a deeper tissue massage with less pressure and quicker than usual. I can use it on many different areas, tonight I played around using it before I worked on shoulders and back. Still working out the battery charge time, but I’m excited to have this! Will change the game when it’s 20 out!

25/09/2020

Heating pad is HERE! Wishing all my clients and friends good luck this weekend at NH Nationals! I’ll be up this afternoon working on horses, come find me to say hi and check out my new tool! 🍀🐎

22/09/2020

My heating pad has shipped! It should be in by next week!!!
