when one of your clients really was a "maintenance" session with very little to adjust...

quite boring really 🤣

As many of you know, my business has continued to grow over the last few years, and firstly I just want to say thank you for all the support☺️, recommendations and trust you place in me with your animals ❤️

Because things are getting busier, I need to make a few changes to how I organise appointments so I can continue giving every horse and dog the time and care they deserve — whilst also allowing me to expand further into one of my main areas of interest: equine head issues and craniosacral therapy.
Importantly — my treatment prices are NOT increasing.
A few updates moving forward:

🐴 EQUINE APPOINTMENTS
• New equine clients will now be asked to book 2 appointments within 10–21 days of each other.
This helps me properly assess progress and achieve better long-term results.
• Initial equine appointments can take up to 1 hour 20 minutes and include a full report.
Follow-up sessions are usually 60 minutes total.
• Areas over 40 minutes from Windermere will gradually move onto a regular area timetable, with visits aimed at once per month where possible.
• Examples of my regular outer travel areas include North Cumbria , West Cumbria , Barrow/Walney, East Lancs.
These areas will increasingly operate on organised route days, which helps me keep travel manageable whilst still continuing to support existing clients in those locations.
• Separate yard visits can still be arranged outside scheduled area days, but these will require a minimum of 4 horses booked together.
• Initial clients, clients outside my usual travel zone, or appointments booked outside planned area visits will be subject to additional travel charges.
• Horses with specific head trauma/issues requiring or wanting craniosacral therapy may still be considered if outside my general area. There are many fantastic McTimoney chiropractors across the UK, so for general chiropractic work I will increasingly be focusing within my regular areas.

🐶 CANINE APPOINTMENTS
• Initial canine treatments are 1 hour and include a full report.
Follow-up appointments are usually 45 minutes.
• Dog clinics continue on Mondays in Kendal and Carlisle.
• Home visits are still available where genuinely needed and will be assessed individually, but additional travel charges will apply.

💳 CANCELLATIONS & PAYMENT
At the moment, most appointments are still paid on the day. However, repeated cancellations may require upfront payment before booking.
As the diary becomes busier, this may become standard policy in the future.

💷 CURRENT PRICING
• Horses — £70
• Dogs — £55
(Travel charges added where appropriate)

☀️ SUMMER OFFER ☀️
1 horse + 1 dog at the same location
£115 total (travel not included)

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support my small business — I genuinely appreciate it, Rachel 💚

i have noticed a fair few posts regarding vitamin e supplementation. which is great and I have also been recommending to supplement this vital antioxidant as our pastures are known to be short in cumbria.

so I thought I would add a podcast link that some of you find useful. ❤️

Stop overtraining your horse in just the one discipline you’ve chosen.
Start incorporating different things into their daily routine.

🐎 If you’re a dressage rider, get out hacking, pop a few logs, do some polework or a bit of gymnastic jumping.
🐎 If you’re a show jumper, spend more time on the flat, go for a hack, or let them have a good blast on the beach.
🐎 If you’re into showing, try some gymnastic jumping or a little bit of endurance.
You don’t have to aim for perfection in every discipline, but by cross-training and doing a bit of everything, you’ll support your horse physically and mentally, help build strength, improve longevity, and keep work more interesting for both of you.
It may even introduce you to something you never realised you’d enjoy — and that’s never a bad thing

the wonderful jenny is building a fabulous group for equally fabulous people to help build confidence in ourselves with our horses 😍 take a look ☺️

🐴 Welcome to The Calm Confidence Rider

This space was created for riders who love their horses deeply — but sometimes doubt themselves.

For riders who want to feel calmer in the saddle.
More confident in their decisions.
And more connected with their horse.

So much of the equestrian world focuses on results, competition, and perfection.

But horses don’t respond to perfection.
They respond to energy.

When a rider becomes calmer, clearer, and more balanced within themselves…
their horse feels it.

The Calm Confidence Rider is about:

🌿 Building genuine rider confidence
🌿 Understanding equine behaviour as communication
🌿 Regulating mindset in the saddle
🌿 Creating patient, trusting partnerships

Because meaningful progress isn’t always measured in rosettes.

Sometimes it’s found in calmness, clarity, and connection.

If you believe riding is about more than competition — you’re in the right place.

I’d love to know:

What helps you feel most confident when you ride?

as you can see, mental preparation is key before a ride 😆 and my two are raring to go ...

Sky, is a big lad who has "cauliflower ears, different coloured eyes, and lots of missing front teeth which allows him to pull some
" unique" faces 🤣 but he is the most wonderful patient and character 😍

His owner brought him in because of a recent dental and he seemed to be just slowing down.
Some massage, chiropractic and a bit of craniosacral and Sky left a much more chilled guy.

I look forward to catching up with him again in a couple months time 💚😻

Have you ever thought that your cat was slowing down recently, or got into one too many fights.. get on touch I might be able to help them. x

A few signs your dog might need a bit of chiropractic and therapeutic massage that aren't necessarily related to ageing:

🐾-gone off chewing harder treats/bones

🐾-struggling to get up after being asleep

🐾-hesitating before jumping in the car /on the bed

🐾-resistance to jumping out of the car

🐾-starting to hunch up in the middle of the back

🤔noticed any of these?

want me to help your dog feel more comfortable? 🙏🏻
