TOBY.
This lovely gelding came into NJS Rehabilitation & stayed for 9 weeks (top photo week 1, bottom photo week 9). Toby was often described as “lazy to ride” & at the time he came into NJS, he felt unsound in his hind limbs. He had previously had steroid treatment to his Near Side stifle due to effusion/swelling in the joint.
For me, Toby was the classic case of a horse struggling with his own body “being in the way”.
The top right picture illustrates how much Toby weighted his forehand, with both the fore & hind limbs being “camped under”. He was dysfunctional through his thoracic sling with a braced neck to compensate. What you’re unable to see from the photo is just how tight Toby was in the lumbar spinal muscles & bilateral hind limb adductor muscles (inner thigh). Also not visible is the asymmetry through his shoulders as he heavily weighted his Off Side shoulder.
During his 9 week stay Toby had a considerable amount of therapy, to include osteopathy, Equivibe, Indiba, long lining, in hand ground work exercises, lungeing & ridden work, all to re dress his physical balance & ultimately allow his body freedom of movement.
He has now gone home, with a work program & I am looking forward to catching up with him & his progress in the next few weeks. 😊
I have to take this opportunity to thank his owner for her patience, understanding & for trusting me with him. I am very appreciative.

HAZEL
this lovely mare had sustained a field injury (suspected kick from a field companion) causing several superficial wounds & a considerable amount of hock & lower limb swelling.
After my initial visit to her 23.06.25 her owner & I discussed her coming into NJS Rehabilitation for some intensive treatment. A combination of Indiba, Equivibe & Osteopathy & by 02.07.25 her hock/leg is looking much improved.

Working with a rider recently who noticed she was “collapsing” to the right, particularly in the canter. Her horse was also crooked in R canter. We worked on the horse & rider “straightness” providing exercises for both 🙂

BONNIE

I thoroughly enjoyed working with this lovely mare & her owner “K”.
Bonnie came to NJS Rehabilitation due to her bucking when mounted. Her owner had consulted with a physio, saddle fitter, bit fitter & given the mare some time off work but nothing seemed to resolve the issue & with no facilities at home, she was struggling to find a way forward.
Bonnie was at NJS for 10 weeks where she had osteopathic treatment, Equivibe sessions, INDIBA, ground work, & ridden work, improving her symmetry, posture, relaxation & self carriage.
Her owner “K” came at least once, if not twice, a week to work with us & be a part of Bonnie’s rehab. During the program we also did some postural / biomechanic training with K to help her symmetry when riding. K’s “feel” was fantastic, she simply needed the confidence to act on what she was feeling.
Seeing K & Bonnie working together, no bucking & enjoying riding again 10 weeks later, was so rewarding & absolutely the reason I do my job!

ROMEO

had been previously diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the neck & more recently left hind proximal suspensory desmitis. I had been treating Romeo with Indiba at his owner’s yard but was asked if I would take him into NJS Rehabilitation for 2 weeks to continue his rehab whilst his owners went on holiday. The photos show his progress in 2 weeks.

SOX.

had occasionally had uncharacteristic refusals when show jumping so his owner decided to have him checked out by the vet. He was diagnosed with mild inflammation of the proximal suspensory ligaments of both hind limbs.
Sox came into NJS Rehabilitation for a 2 week stay to receive some intensive INDIBA therapy for the PSD, Osteopathy to rebalance the musculoskeletal system & groundwork to improve posture & straightness.
