Tom Illsley Breaking & Training

19/07/2026

Tommy came to us in February after his vet had diagnosed hock and back issues that didn’t have a great prognosis. Working along side the vet and physio we started a 4 week rehab program. He then had his back & hocks medicated. Over the following weeks we continued with his rehab and after 12 weeks we were given the all clear to ride by his vet.

His rehab journey continues and he his thriving. It is so rewarding to get such a great result from not knowing if he’d ever be able to be ridden again.

Along side ourselves all helped to make possible with vet, physio, farrier, saddler and his very understanding owner. Teamwork makes the dream work.

PM for more information on how we can help with your horse’s rehab journey.

8 weeks ago this lovely boy came to us after suffering from ulcers which had caused behavioural issues. His owners asked us to assess him for a month & see if we could help find the pony they’d had before ulcers. Well here he is now. His progress over a fairly short period of time has been amazing.
He’s going to stay with us for a little longer while his jockey rides him from ours to build confidence and regain the wonderful partnership they previously had together 🥰
