This is exciting although nerve racking speaking in front of all these amazing equine researchers. Hard work paid off.

Following on from my post on the 24 pain behaviours in the ridden horse, I thought this was a nice continuation of recognising when our horses could be in pain. Lots of amazing people doing amazing work to help us recognise pain in our horses and improve their welfare

Pilates is a game-changer for riders 🐎✨
By strengthening your core, improving balance, and increasing body awareness, Pilates helps you sit taller, stay centered in the saddle, and move more in harmony with your horse. Better posture means clearer aids, improved stability, and a more confident ride—both for you and your horse. 💪🧘‍♀️.

New term starts Tuesday Llantwit and Thursday Wenvoe. DM for more info.

As horse owners, we owe it to our horses to pay attention when something isn’t quite right. Many riders and owners simply aren’t aware of the subtle signs that a horse may be uncomfortable or unhappy. Your horse might not show obvious lameness—but could they still be in pain?
This post isn’t intended to diagnose, but to help you recognise some of the quieter signals that something may be wrong.
Dr. Sue Dyson developed the 24 Behaviours Indicating Pain in the Ridden Horse to highlight exactly these signs. Watch the video to learn more, and check out the pictorial guide at 24behaviours.org
Let’s work together to improve the welfare of our horses.
