17.01.2022 Missy and Affirmed are back for another little holiday in the private paddocks! Affirmed even brought his funky flyveil this time

16.01.2022 Spotty is the smallest pony on my massage rounds. Today he had his second massage, and was asleep in no time; Im sure being so cute is exhausting.

15.01.2022 Link enjoyed his massage last week before his long float ride back to Geraldton then on to his station home in Yalgoo.

12.01.2022 Good morning to the horses and ponies on Christmas day here

12.01.2022 More on neck function. This from an abstract "The equine neck and its function during movement and locomotion" Rebeka R. Zsoldosa, Theresia F. Licka "...The... movement of the neck is based on intervertebral motion, but it is also an integral part of locomotion; this is illustrated by the different neck conformations in the breeds of horses used for various types of work. The considerable effect of the neck movement and posture onto the whole trunk and even the limbs is transmitted via bony, ligamentous and muscular structures. Also, the fact that the neck position can easily be influenced by the rider and/or by the employment of training aids makes it an important avenue for training of new movements of the neck as well as the whole horse. Additionally, the neck position also affects the cervical spinal cord as well as the roots of the spinal nerves; besides the commonly encountered long-term neurological effects of cervical vertebral disorders (such as Wobblers), short-term changes of neural and muscular function have also been identified in the maximum flexion of the cranial neck and head position (JR - as in hyperflexion/broken neck). During locomotion, the neck stores elastic energy within the passive tissues such as ligaments, joint capsules and fasciae. For adequate stabilisation, additional muscle activity is necessary; this is learned and requires constant muscle training as it is essential to prevent excessive wear and tear on the vertebral joints and also repetitive or single trauma to the spinal nerves and the spinal cord (amen). The capability for this stabilisation decreases with age in the majority of horses due to changes in muscle tissue, muscle coordination and consequently muscle strength." (This last sentence may be true as a simple consequence of normal aging, but it may be more likely due to the improper/incorrect use as a younger horse that causes subsequent issues in the older animal).

05.01.2022 Well done to sponsored rider Katrin and her horse Sox!

04.01.2022 Jester has already been here for a few days on a two week holiday. He is a very cuddly boy, it was hard to get a photo of him without just his nose in the camera

02.01.2022 I love getting feedback from the owners after there horses massage, it makes me so happy that they can feel and see the change in the horse once they are starting to feel pain free again

02.01.2022 The anatomy of a horse leg vs. a human foot. This is the best example I have seen explaining just how closely their bones resemble ours and which ones correspond. Fascinating, right?!

02.01.2022 Sumaz was having a little nap this morning on the roll pit

02.01.2022 Another great review from todays massage at the Claremont show grounds

01.01.2022 The texture of the feeds fed to horses will dramatically influence the chewing rate (jaw sweeps) and rate of ingestion. An average horse will general take 60,00...0 jaw sweeps per day when grazing. This amount will be dramatically reduced when confined to a stable and large amounts of grain are fed. The size of the horse also effects the time and amount of jaw sweeps it takes to sufficiently masticate the feed. The average 500kg horse generally takes 40 minutes and 3400 jaw sweeps to consume one kilogram of hay. Ponies will generally take twice as long to consume this amount of hay. Oats on the other hand only take 10 minutes and 850 jaw sweeps for the mature horse and up to five times longer for ponies. When horses chew fibrous feeds such as hay or pasture it is a long jaw sweep action. This is why horses continually out on pasture rarely develop sharp edges on their teeth. Grains are consumed in a shorter sweep which does not extend past the outer edge of the teeth. http://www.hygain.com.au/horses-digestive-system/

01.01.2022 The start of the shelters for the Horserail Paddocks
