Two lovely sessions with two very special older boys, who belong to very good friends of mine. I only have photos of Jack as unfortunately it was getting darker as I was doing Mattie. These wonderful and wise horses had both given young riders a lot of years service in riding schools, and competed a lot before they came to Alicia and her family. They have the most wonderful life now and their bodies have transformed. Their saddles fit well which is something that makes a colossal difference in pain throughout their bodies, so the musculature along both of their backs was pretty good considering the work they have done over the years. Some of my favourite parts of the sessions were the dural/cranial myofascial release, which I know I have mentioned before but it just has such amazing results, it was so lovely to see Jack let go, he can be a bit head shy so the fact he let me work around his head felt a privilege. Mattie released and yawned about 10 times in a row whilst I was mobilising and using myofascial release around his cervical vertebrae which were very blocked to the rhs through C4/C5, seeing these kind of releases makes me smile so much, and it’s what it’s all about for me. I had a fantastic little assistant in Gigi helping with massage whilst I was doing an armpit release, and taking Jacks head round for a technique very carefully, whilst Sapphire took some lovely photos of Jack having a very restful time. The last photo is of gorgeous Clover who is a Breton foal who has come to join the happy herd recently from Brittany, she is so beautiful, and already nearly 15hh at 7 months old.

Recently I had a brilliant mentoring morning with Jo Rose, I think it’s always good practice and you can always learn something when shadowing and working with other professionals. Jo is a tutor to me for Canine Massage and lots of Equine cpd days, she is very knowledgeable in many areas of equine therapy, she is McTimoney-Corley trained too which is great, and I have trained in Myofascial Release through her with Dawn McCaig. Amongst other things we went over cranial/craniosacral/dural work, which I absolutely love because it has such incredible results. I got to do some great work with this absolute beauty of an 18hh+ showjumper who had the personality of a welsh pony🥰 He had fairly significant rhs TMJ (Temporomandibular joint)fixation and severe muscle tension surrounding the joint. In the photo of his head, although you can’t see much of my left hand, I am sinking into the tissue between the mandible(large cheek bone) and the hyoid apparatus. TMJ pain and hyoid dysfunction go hand in hand, the hyoid apparatus is a very delicate arrangement of bones suspended between the two large cheek bones of the horses head, it attaches via cartilage to the temporal bones of the skull, just behind each TMJ. Part of this set of bones called the lingual process is literally embedded into the tongue. The hyoid apparatus is attached to the larynx, and is integral in function of the pharynx and larynx, for breathing and swallowing. But something else very interesting about the hyoid apparatus, it has musculature and myofascial attachments to the sternum and behind each scapula, thus connecting to the pectoral muscles, which then through muscle chains connect to the abdominal muscles, and therefore onto the pelvic and hind end muscles. This means restriction on the tongue, will affect movement of the horse’s whole body. I will do a more detailed post because it is fascinating, and as owners and riders it’s really important to think about how delicate and influential that tongue really is.
