Hiya everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend.
Please please please can people take a bit more effort to settle your payments on time, whether it’s Hannah or myself coming out to treat your horses our payment terms are payment on the day, we appreciate not everyone gets signal on every yard, month after month we are spending Hours doing bank recs and then messaging asking for payment. Most of our amazing customers DO pay on the day but many are left with an invoice for payment later that day. For the 3rd month in a row we are left with almost £1000.00 outstanding, as a small business we cannot justify providing people with this level of credit month after month. If this continues we will have no choice but to start declining our services to those who will not honour their payment on time
Rant over.. enjoy your day.

When girthing up a horse, it’s important not to over-tighten the girth. An over-tightened girth may pinch or bruise the muscles, especially those in the chest (pectorals), the neck (trapezius), the side of the ribcage (serratus ventralis), and the lower back (latissimus dorsi), which are shown in red on the diagram bel. Similar to how a tight belt can cause discomfort or bruising in a human, an overly tight girth can cause soreness in these areas. It may also lead to bruising of the ribs and the intercostal muscles (the muscles between the ribs), restricting movement and causing pain. Additionally, the tightness will cause the saddle to put more pressure on the horse’s back muscles, leading to further discomfort.

Think of it like wearing a belt that’s too tight around your waist: it presses into your skin and muscles, causing discomfort, restricting movement, and potentially causing bruising. Just as you wouldn’t wear a belt so tight that it hurts, it’s crucial not to over-tighten the girth to avoid these issues for the horse. Always ensure the girth is snug, but not excessively tight, to keep the horse comfortable and prevent injury.

So a wee bit of an update for all my clients, I have started helping young Hannah Turner as she embarks on a new career as an Equine practitioner, she is currently enrolled with Olivia Renshaw at Wolds Equine Sports Massage Approved Courses, some of you have already met Hannah as she has been out a few times now observing what I do. As a fully insured pupil I will be training Hannah alongside her theoretical and practical studies. So I’m sure you will all wish Hannah the very best of luck working alongside me and in her new career path.
