CoolStride Equine Therapy

Day 2 on my wonderful Geraldton run was jam packed.

My former sponsored horse River decided that he finally kind of likes me... for a minute or so, but mainly loves annoying his brother Egg during his bodywork 🤣

And the day ended at the lovely Mikaela's. Warmblood Raff really enjoyed his bodywork, but mainly the Horslyx garlic flavour!

Great day with great people and horses and we all avoided the rain 💙

Day 1 in Geraldton yesterday and my lovely sponsored horse Maybe decided that Hudson also deserved a massage while I was busy finding the ouchy bits 😂💙

These Geraldton runs are always a highlight for me, but they’re definitely getting busier!

My next Gero run will be in approximately 8 weeks and will be the last one before the summer break, so please get your enquiries and bookings in early if you’d like a spot.

I’d hate for anyone to miss out 💙

Mac - nearly 21 and he’s just completed his second 20km endurance ride!

For an off the track Standardbred with a lot of trauma in his past, seeing him out there enjoying himself and doing so well is pretty amazing.

There’s no single magic ingredient behind an older horse continuing to perform. For Mac it’s the whole picture. Exceptional day to day management from Rebecca, good veterinary support, regular bodywork and now Scoot Boots on all four feet, fitted to suit him and the work he’s doing.

This is exactly why I love supporting older horses. With the right team and the right support, they can continue feeling good, moving well and doing far more than their age might suggest 💙

Well done Bec and Mac 🥰

Many of you have seen me completing this evidence based approach to releasing the hyoid ☺️

Sometimes what looks like relaxation is actually a horse quietly tolerating what is being done.

That is why I spend just as much time watching the horse as I do using my hands.

Soft eyes, blinking, licking and chewing, lowering the head or gently leaning into contact can all suggest the horse is comfortable and happy for me to continue.

A fixed expression, tension around the eyes or muzzle, holding the breath, moving away or repeatedly shifting position tells me I need to pause and reassess. It does not automatically mean there is pain in that area, but it does mean the horse is not completely comfortable with what is happening.

This is something every owner can watch for too. Whether you are grooming, stretching, fitting tack or simply running your hands over your horse, notice the small changes in their expression, breathing and posture.

Massage should never be something we simply do to a horse. It should be a conversation, with the horse given the opportunity to answer 💙

I’m so pleased to announce that Taylah will be continuing as a CoolStride Sponsored Rider for a second year, alongside Doug and Leroy, for the 2026/27 season.

Last year didn't quite go to plan, with Doug being diagnosed with kissing spine and spending much of the year focused on rehabilitation rather than competition. Through it all, Taylah never wavered. Her dedication to Doug's recovery, her patience and her determination to do right by him have been nothing short of inspiring.

It has been an absolute privilege to watch Doug regain his strength and confidence, and it's even more rewarding to now see the pair back out doing what they love together.

Supporting riders isn't just about celebrating ribbons and results. It's about recognising the commitment, resilience and horsemanship that happens behind the scenes, and Taylah embodies all of those qualities.

I'm incredibly proud to continue supporting Taylah, Doug and Leroy for another year and can't wait to see what the 2026/27 season brings for this special team 💙

I’m very excited to welcome Jaxon and his beautiful Connemara pony, Maybe to the **CoolStride 2026/27 Sponsored Rider Team**.

Jaxon has been riding for about six years, starting at his local riding school before getting his own pony. From there, he joined Pony Club, moved on to a new pony and began competing at local events in hacking, showjumping and eventing. This year, Jaxon competed at the Moora Horse Trials and absolutely loved the experience.

Jaxon is a member of Spalding Horse & Pony Club in Geraldton, and when he is not riding, he is hands-on assisting the grounds committee with keeping the grounds looking picture perfect.

Jaxon rides Maybe, his beautiful Connemara. Together, they have an amazing partnership and trust each other 100%. Whether it's a quiet trail ride, a hoon in the paddock or a dressage test, Jaxon and Maybe always give it their absolute best.

Jaxon always receives compliments about Maybe's presentation. Having a grey pony certainly has its challenges, but she is always whiter than white.

When Jaxon is not riding horses, he also plays t-ball and softball.

Behind every young rider is a wonderful support team, and Jaxon is incredibly lucky to have his mum, Claire, behind him every step of the way. Her encouragement and support help make all of these opportunities possible.

I'm so excited to have Jaxon and Maybe as part of the CoolStride team for 2026/27. I can't wait to follow their journey and support them over the coming year. Welcome to the team!
