My jaw is on the floor! 😱
Sonic Jet with a monstrous win at the Vaal today, truly showing her class. Although I haven’t made it to the Vaal in a while, this little filly has been a firm favourite of mine from the very beginning of her career, and I could not be more excited for her connections, that she is now showing how good we all believed her to be.
Congrats to owners Peter and Belinda Victor, and Lawrence Pillay, and to trainer Corrie Lensley.

2024 Toyota SA Champs
90cm:
* Maverick and @lauzypopz one pole down in each class.
* @equestrian.minkaliebenberg’s Capital Comoros jumping his first multiple day show.
1m:
* Sunman 11th in the 2-phase, clear in the champs class, one unlucky pole in the jump off.
* Capital Romney and @kirstynaude 11th in the A2
1.10m:
* Callaho Ras Tafari and @christi.d_equestrian clear on day one and two, one down in the champs class.
* KP Constellation and @nicole_whittington the same results- maybe instructor and student had an agreement? 😂
1.20m:
* Campino and Christi one down in the first two classes, clear in the champs.
* @kaitlyn_equestrian Callaho Casselona 6th, 8th, and 5th in the champs.
* Grey Street and @_t.brown.equestrian_ 5th, 4th, and 19th in the champs.
1.30m:
* RH Vet Physio sponsored Cruze Can Do It clear on day one, but just out the tickets, one down in the champs.
* Conchita M and @zandi_equestrian 26th, 26th and 31st in the champs. Not a single rail the entire show!
* Penbritte’s Coslo and @megs__cunningham 3rd, 9th, and 13th in the champs.
* Chanel 18th in the champs, ending the show with a clear in the team event as well.
* Glam Rock and @shan_wyndhamquin 30th in the A2.
1.35m
* Branic Lord Latano and Halley clear day one and two, 19th in the champs.
1.40m:
* @georgia_biet Barberg Savoy Affair 7th in the 2-phase.
1.50m:
* RH Vet Physio sponsored Callaho Landino jumping his first full show at this level. Clear but out the tickets day 1, clear and 15th day 2. Caught a bit off guard by the water jump in the champs class, resulting in an uncharacteristic stop, but otherwise an exhibition of a round- not breathing on a rail. No small feat to jump three rounds at this height without a single pole.
* First L clear on day one (with @danielamsmit jumping most of the round with one stirrup!) but unfortunately sustained a small overreach injury on day two. Bigger things to come for this boy at Derby!
As always, thank you for allowing
Shongweni prep 💪🏼
Horses are feeling fabulous, all taped up and ready to hit the road!
Best of luck to all my wonderful clients and their ponies 🫶🏼

Had to share this video of the beautiful First L, enjoying his treatment before heading to Shongweni tomorrow.
First is a super proud horse, with a lot of self preservation. I often find these types of horses aren’t very quick to give big, expressive releases, so when I get responses like this, it makes me SO happy 🥰
Thank you @danielamsmit and owner Saskia for trusting me with these special boys. I so love having them visit from Cape Town.

Two of my favourite ladies battling it out at the Vaal yesterday.
Green Flash bringing home her second win from four starts. Congrats to trainer Brett Warren and owner Laurence.
Corrie Lensley trained Happy Analia leading the field for the greater part of the race, to finish a hard fought 5th over the line. She just keeps getting better and better!

Guess who’s baaaaack?! 🤩
Cruze skipping around the 1.30m at President’s Cup today, after what was clearly a very successful rehab and strengthening programme.
“Make your comebacks stronger than your setbacks”- our boy has certainly done just that and my heart couldn’t be happier to see him and @christi.d_equestrian back in their happy place!
Couldn’t be more proud to have this boy has one of my sponsored horses. There is nothing that you can’t love about him.

Golden Girl a.k.a Donna has featured on my page before. She is one of my longest standing patients and we’ve walked a very long road together.
Her mom has kicked the work up a notch, and she had a well deserved treatment today.
So here’s some Donna ridiculousness to start your weekend 😂 She releases so dramatically while I’m working, that sometimes it makes it difficult to actually get anything effective done 😂❤️

This boy 😍
Sky has always been a firm favourite of mine (I do have a soft spot for a tall, dark and handsome thoroughbred!)
Sound on to hear Debs warning @casey.fuller.eq that I might make good on my promise and steal him!
How lucky am I to do what I do?!

Some high praise and wonderful commentary for Callaho Landino and @zandi_mis.
It’s such a privilege to work with horses of this calibre, and I love every second that I spend with this boy. He quickly becomes a firm favourite of everyone that meets him or watches him in the arena.
Zandi, thank you for trusting me with this special horse. So many big things to come for you both! 🥂

A common side affect of physiotherapy treatments (especially on cold winter mornings), is a brief transformation into a dragon 🐉
Orion the master yawner, as always!

Son of Raj showed his quality in spades today with a BIG win in the Group 1 SA Derby.
This is my first Group 1 winning patient, and I can’t quite describe the feeling.
A huge thank you to @marwingracing for the honour of working with this horse, and a very well done to the Marwing team and owner Mr Chetty.
