On the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the United Equestrian Association of New Zealand Inc. prizegiving.

I am super proud of how this relatively new club is growing and progressing but most importantly I love how supportive all the riders are of each other. They are friends that joke around, encourage each other and are happy to see their peers succeed.

The horse industry, and particularly the competition scene, can at times be pretty brutal as far as a welcoming and inclusive environment goes so I love seeing riders like these who will be our future generation of horse people.

I hope everyone is staying as dry as they can.

I had to let him in because it was raining and I think he may have been putting a curse on me.

MUD!!! What's it doing to your horse......?

The answer is two-fold:
🌧 In slippery conditions your horse is more prone to injury. This is not just from the obvious slips and falls but also from just walking around. When it is slippery your horse will shorten its stride and tense up to stay balanced. What do you get? Strain to muscles, tendons and ligaments resulting in a sore horse. 🙁

🌧 Moisture is the perfect environment for bacteria and also softens the feet allowing the bacteria to get in. What do you get? Issues such as thrush, mud fever, abscesses and seedy toe. As we all know once a horse has sore feet it ends up with a sore body as well.

Why am I telling you this? Because I can help! Bowen Therapy is just as important in the winter months as it is the rest of the year to ensure that when the sunny days arrive your horse is ready to go!
