It has been a fab few days away at High Peak Riding Club camp again this year. It's great to catch up with everyone and spend time with your wonderful horses.

It may just be the fastest 3 days of the year, thank you to everyone for keeping me so busy, I appreciate you all. As always, I was rubbish at getting photos 😅

I will be back to work as normal tomorrow and picking up any missed messages. Campers, I hope to see you all again soon!

With recent cases of strangles in the area I just wanted to put a notice out to ask for people to be extra cautious in monitoring your horses:

Signs to watch out for can include
Cough
Nasal discharge
Swollen glands around the throat
High temperature
Reduced appetite

Please be vigilant and if you have any concerns get your horses tested and let people know if visiting the yard. Strangles can become very serious and the best way to get on top of this is to stop the spread so please be open, it can happen to anyone so let's get rid of the stigma

I will be taking precautions keeping my equipment cleaned, boots washed, regular changes of clothes and limiting my travel where I can

Thank you to those being open and making local people aware of these cases, keeping everything crossed that these cases make a full and speedy recovery

Good evening 😊

It was lovely to get over to Romiley show yesterday. Well done to all my clients that were competing, and good to see some of you there watching.

Availability wise, August is mostly booked up so if anyone would like a space, please do let me know. I have some time off for High Peak Riding club camp mid month so I am working around that but I have now opened Saturday 30th August if anyone is after a weekend slot.

High Peak campers- I will be back this year for the full 3 days doing horse massages. I will be taking bookings whilst there as usual but when you get your lesson plans, if you'd like a specific time pop me a message and we can arrange that. If anyone at camp has any questions around physiotherapy/chiropractic sessions for your horses please do come and ask me. I will also be around on the ground between work so if anyone needs anything I'm happy to help where I can.

Photo below is of a lovely young horse I treated at the weekend. You wouldn't guess he was mostly unhandled 2 months ago would you? His owners doing a fantastic job getting him used to things and it was so nice to be a part of that. As you can see, he accepted it really well and we had a lovely chilled boy at the end of it!

The perception of “laziness” can be a byproduct, a symptom of so many restrictions to and within a horses body. 💭

Tis the season for all things bitey 👿🦟🪰

Anyone else feeling the current bug attack? I wore shorts to work on Monday only to find that the horse flies have come out with a vengeance and then found this little blighter this morning during an assessment in a pony armpit (Swipe to see)

Skin checks are an important part of daily care and easy to incorporate when grooming. Be sure to check under long hair and stay armed with sprays and repellent 🚫 Keep an eye out for any swellings, sore areas and of course, tics! Removing ticks promptly minimises risk of infection as these little guys can carry various diseases, but do remember that they need careful removal to ensure the whole thing is removed, so if you don't know what you're doing, ask someone that does.

Just a reminder to keep an eye out 👀 and as always, if you have any concerns or think your horse has had a reaction to something, always contact your veterinarian

At what age should I start having bodywork done with my young horse? A question I get asked fairly regularly so thought I'd add some thoughts.

Last week I treated this lovely lad that turned 3 earlier this year. Hes been worked on the long lines and his owner had no concerns but wanted a check over for him. I had a few misalignments to correct and used some soft tissue techniques to help free up his his body, improve his alignment and we had a nice session getting him used to having this type of work done and he accepted everything really well. He is now going to have more time this summer and over the winter to grow and mature before his real work begins. I feel there were several benefits of this to him physically and mentally.

🐎 young horses are going through a lot of change in their bodies - musculoskeletally and with balance and coordination. Physiotherapy and chiropractic works to address any imbalances early on to promote symmetry and correct development
🐎 As well as realigning the body any areas of weakness can be found and exercises given to strengthen before they become an issue
🐎 Good experiences lead to confidence in new situations
🐎 Allows your bodyworker get to know your horse and monitor for any change
🐎 Horses do silly things in the field - especially youngsters! They are also affected by the changes in slippy/hard ground so injuries do occur

You don't have to wait until you're having problems with your ridden horse to have bodywork, they can be treated prior to breaking in. Correct development leads to career longevity and improved performance.

I also have to say thank you to this boys owner as she had really put the work in with him on the ground, and it made my job with him easy 😀

Another reason to always monitor changes in your horses behaviour. I often talk about how pain is subjective and we cannot ask our animals how much pain they're in. We can assess them and have diagnostics done but we can't assume each similar case will respond in the same way and sadly we can't always rule out pain. Always stop and listen to what they are trying to tell you
