Horse In Hand - Equine Sports Therapy

When your horse has a sore back, how can you help?

Equine massage is a powerful way to help horses with sore backs feel better and perform at their best. Just like humans, horses can develop muscle tension and stiffness from work, training, or even just everyday movement. Massage helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and release tight muscles, promoting faster healing and greater comfort. It also improves flexibility and range of motion, which can prevent future injuries. Treating your horse to regular massage sessions supports their overall well-being and can make a noticeable difference in their attitude and performance. If your horse seems stiff, uncomfortable, or less enthusiastic, an equine massage might be just what they need to get back to feeling great!

The funny faces of Bello! I just wanted a simple face on photo but of cause I got Bello flare. He is never shy in telling me exactly how he feels.

Batman watching the arena action while he had a little massage. Sonny also had a session after his workout.

One of the best ways to help your horse is to learn more about you!
I took this course with Dr Shelley Appleton Calm Willing Confident Horses and it helped me understand how I learn and how I can turn this into positive things for not just Darcy but client horses too!

This course delves into applying human learning theories specifically within the realm of equestrian education and addresses the distinct challenges that coaches, trainers, leaders and educators encounter in this specialised area.

It’s all about the prep work and the team that makes it happen.
Rocky was getting his massage before he was off to the NSW state championship for Endurance. He will be doing 160km in a day starting at 3am on Sunday.
As you can imagine the prep work that goes into making him ready for this takes years. And I’ve been lucky to be a part of Rocky’s team for a few years now. He is incredibly fit, strong and his body needs to be feeling its best.
This is way he got his massage to make sure he is feeling his absolute best.

Best of luck Tiana and Rocky.

It has been a busy week!!
How sweet is this girl, she was not to keen on me catching her but once i started treating her. Once I started treating her, just free in the paddock she was so happy and loved the releases.
These moments of connection with the horses I am lucky enough to see means so much to me

Chase enjoyed his grass after his massage today while it was his brother’s turn. He stood in the most beautiful spot ☺️

Love days like today.

Happy birthday to my big silly and sometimes “naughty” boy Darcy!
Darcy came into my life at a time when my heart was shattered by the loss of my mare Imelda. I honestly didn’t think I wanted another horse.
But then came along Darcy, he has taught me so much and I know he came to me just at the right time for us both.

Darcy is so funny, cheeky, definitely knows how to get out of work 😂 but he is trusting, courageous and the time I have with him is always memorable.

Happy 7th birthday Darcy, maybe know you will be a mature horse 😂

I am a big believer that education is power and the more knowledge we can have as horse owners the better for all horses. And I am proud to share and be a part of many clinics and educational programs.
However, when the foundation is built on lies, and the hard work of others with no compensation for these hard working individuals. I can not support them.
It is very disappointing that Daisy Bicking, a very well known and trusted hoof care professional from America, is not providing the content her clients paid for, and also not compensating the Australian professionals she hired to make her dream of an Australian Hoof Care Academy happen, she needs to be held accountable.
