We often think of straightness as a riding or schooling issue.
But did you know… unevenness can actually be your horse’s way of compensating? 🐎

👉 Common causes include:
- Muscle imbalances
- Old restrictions in the body
- Weakness in the core or hind end

Fixing the root cause with physio often makes straightness in training so much easier. ✨

📩 Book a session and let’s help your horse move straighter, freer, and more comfortably.

A fab review to start a new month! 🤩

Olivia has been working closely with this client to ensure the best possible outcome. A combination of soft tissue release, Winback Therapy and rehab advice has help this horse progress and heel in the best possible way.

Physiotherapy for rehab isn't just a once of treatment, its a process, slowly peeling back the layers, continually reassessing and adjusting so that your horse can, hopefully, return to their previous level of work.

Has your horse been diagnosed with an injury? Don't know where to start?

Give us a message and we will happily chat you through the process.

Kids are back to school, horse and ponies have had a busy summer of pony camps, summer shows and beach rides.

It takes its toll on yourselves and on their bodies.

September is the perfect time to hit the reset button and give them a well deserved MOT so they don't go into the cooler months feeling tight and sore.

Only few appointments left with Caroline, so please book early as last minute appointments can no longer be accommodated.

Rehab isn’t just about time off — it’s about doing the right things at the right time.

But too often, we see horses struggling because of these common rehab mistakes:
❌ Rushing back into work
❌ Skipping progress checks
❌ Working without a clear plan
❌ Relying only on medication
❌ Forgetting to involve the whole team (vet, physio, farrier, saddle fitter)

Each of these can delay healing — or worse, cause re-injury.

A structured, supported rehab program means your horse has the best chance of coming back stronger, safer, and sounder.

With our full rehab assessments + Winback TECAR therapy, we help create rehab plans that are clear, progressive, and tailored to your horse.

📩 Message us today if your horse is coming back from injury, or if you’re worried about setbacks.

🏇 Is your horse telling you something?

Struggling with:
❌ Taking longer to warm up
❌ Slight changes in gait rhythm
❌ Reluctance in transitions
❌ Resistance on one rein
❌ More frequent tail swishing or head tossing

These are often early signs of physical discomfort — not just training issues. Horses compensate to keep going, but this leads to bigger problems if left untreated.

🩺 Through equine physiotherapy + Winback TECAR therapy, we help:
✔️ Release tight, sore muscles
✔️ Improve balance + stride quality
✔️ Support recovery from knocks or injuries
✔️ Keep your horse comfortable, confident, and competition-ready

✨ Don’t wait for a bigger problem. Small changes now = big results later.

🚩 Is your horse trying to tell you something?

Physical discomfort doesn’t always show up as clear lameness — often, it’s the subtle signs that matter most.

Here are 6 red flags we see in horses struggling to cope physically:
1️⃣ Short, choppy strides
2️⃣ Difficulty bending or circling evenly
3️⃣ Canter rhythm issues or wrong strike-offs
4️⃣ Loss of muscle despite regular work
5️⃣ Behavioural changes under saddle
6️⃣ On-and-off lameness

These are often compensation patterns — your horse is protecting one area by overusing another. Left untreated, they can lead to bigger issues.

✨ Through whole-horse assessments, soft tissue care, and Winback TECAR therapy, we help uncover the real issue and get your horse back to feeling (and performing) their best.

📍 Early intervention is the key.
