Sick of waiting for the weather to play ball so went ahead with turnout regardless. Very well behaved horses so no regrets....yet 😂

Really want to shout out to friends who mucked in with the horses this weekend.
We had booked a weekend away thinking the weather wouldn't likely present a problem this early in September 😳. Luckily we saved enough paddocks to keep our gang happily grazing fresh grass for all but the worst of it.
It was so reassuring to see and hear how happy they were....these photos were some of the updates I received. Emily stayed at ours and constantly monitored conditions and rug swaps. How kind of her to find a dry spell to allow my girls a few hours grooming. 🥰
We landed in 50 mph gusts yesterday and I can't belive our fields look almost the same as when we left despite a lot of the horses spending a few nights out.
We have such a fabulous group of friends stabling with us. When the worst of the weather hit yesterday morning so many people came down to the yard to check Emily was safe and managing all the horses and the added workload. Matt and I are super grateful and we can't imagine sharing our yard with a nicer bunch of people. Thank you all so much 🥰🫶❤️❤️

A horse came to us earlier in the year and was displaying obvious signs of discomfort when ridden. Nothing dangerous or disobedient but he repeatedly tossed his head and was unable to maintain rhythm or bend. He was new to the owner and despite having passed a pre purchase exam with flying colours he was obviously sore somewhere. We have a keen eye for spotting painful behaviours but this was significant and clearly more than simply a reaction to moving yards.
Fortunately our farrier, physio and vets were able to rule out anything serious and a rehabilitation plan was put in place to build up his top line muscles and strength. He progressed very well with longreining and hill work and recently had the all clear from our Fantastic physio Anna Victoria Kruehler to recommence ridden work.
What a difference already after only a few sessions under saddle and such a relief to see him happy. 🧡
Before and after 3 months rest and rehab pics....
Thank you Oakhill Equine Vets and Josh Eddleston 😊.
