Just one of the cross country silks sets EES has put together lately - Macey couldn't wait to use them at a competition so did a trial run at home.
Looking good, love the matchy matchy 😍

And here is an updated photo looking from the shipping container that I took this week - check the size of the trees! 😱

We've had rubber put down in 3 of the yards in the undercover area where 2 of these have been made into large stables, keeping 3 long yards available for those that don't need limited movement/ overnight stabling. We also have rubber lined walls in the undercover areas to create the highest of safety options.

We also have a misting system that has been installed for the summertime to ensure your horses are always cool as a cucumber in the hot period when not feeling their best - and fans are coming this summer too.

We've thought of it all and forever upgrading something somewhere at our one stop shop where value for money and keeping affordability as our biggest priority here at EES. 🤩

WOWEE, 7 years ago we leveled the most horrible & useless area on the property creating it to be the most USEFUL.

This is where the 5 under cover yards + stables are, looking from above the shipping container towards the grass yards, where those tiny trees are now humongous and provide incredible shelter from the weather.

What a great reminder of how far my dream of building a rehabilitation facility has come. 💜

🌊🐴THE Equine Water Treadmill🐴🌊

Or, as 'Karen' calls it...

"A bit bloody unnecessary."

Meanwhile Karen's conditioning program consists of:

- Trotting endless circles.
- Lunging once a fortnight because "he felt a bit fresh."
- Hoping for the best while taking them for a lesson after not having worked them regularly, if at all.

Anyway... 🤣

Here's why we're actually obsessed with the water treadmill...

💧 Low impact. High reward!
Your horse works harder while putting less strain on their joints and tendons.

Funny how 'working smarter' usually beats 'working harder' hey? 🥴

💪 Muscle.
Water doesn't care if your horse has all the expensive gear.

It builds topline, core strength and hindquarters one step at a time.

🫁 Cardio, vrrm vrrrmmm!
Your horse can improve fitness without pounding their legs into next Tuesday which = better longevity of your horse's legs and body.

Groundbreaking stuff really.

🦵 Rehab.
Because "just leave him in the paddock for six months" isn't exactly a conditioning program.

Honestly, it never was, and never will be a good idea.

🤸🏽‍♀️ Better movement.
➡️Longer stride.
⚖️Better balance.
🥷🏽Better coordination.
🦒Less baby giraffe.
🐎More athlete, booyahhh!

😊 Confidence.
Most horses LOVE it. And even if they are originally a little worried, that's where we work WITH them not AGAINST them to help create confidence.

They figure out where all four legs are, start using their bodies properly, and suddenly everyone's wondering why they're moving so much better.

But don't worry...
Karen once watched a YouTube video in 2018 (actually it was likely to be a water walker not a WT by what she tells me), so she's pretty confident it's all a gimmick. 😂

EES will just keep quietly producing stronger, sounder, happier horses behind the scenes.

Seems to be working so far, with EES in operating for 16years, with our water treadmill being open for for business for well over 6years now.

An informative post on EMS from Alice Nixon Veterinary 😊

If you need help with getting your EMS/ Laminitic horse back on track Erin's Equine Services can also help with this after consulting with your Vet etc.

🐴 Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS): It's Not Just About Weight!

EMS is a hormonal condition that causes insulin dysregulation, placing horses and ponies at a much higher risk of developing hyperinsulinaemia-associated laminitis.

While many horses with EMS are "easy keepers" or overweight, some horses can appear a healthy weight—or even lose weight due to chronic laminitis or other health conditions—yet still have significant insulin dysregulation.

🔍 Signs your horse may be at risk include:
• A history of laminitis
• A cresty neck or regional fat deposits
• Difficulty managing weight
• Foot soreness or recurring lameness
• Being an "easy keeper" breed
• Unexplained laminitis, even in a horse that isn't overweight

Early diagnosis is key. Your veterinarian may recommend blood tests or an Oral Sugar Test (OST) to assess your horse's insulin response and determine their risk of laminitis.

The good news is that, with appropriate management—including diet, exercise (when safe), and, in some cases, medication—many horses with EMS can live comfortable, healthy lives.

If you want more information on EMS, comment FACT SHEET and we will send you our clinic resource.
