17.01.2022 Bowen is usually only requires 1 -3 treatments. Unlike Chiropractic or physio, which require long term treatments and exercises, some need to be completed for months on end. Bowen therapy can normally resolve most issues in less than 3 treatments.

09.01.2022 We are having great success with Bowen therapy treatments in cattle recently. Steve has done several different cases with concerning issues from developmental concerns to swellings and down cattle. We are finding even after 1 treatment there have been significant results. Check last weeks timeline to read about a show bull that had been down for several days, and within days of 1 treatment he was back serving in the paddock.

04.01.2022 We have all seen this all too often! Sometimes because of inexperienced riders or horses. But have you ever thought that a horse may not perform as expected due to PAIN? We all stuggle to put in 100percent when suffering from pain. Please call for obligation-free advice about Bowen or to book! Call 04 58 921 007

03.01.2022 See u all tomorrow at the equine expo at Toowoomba

03.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who come to visit my stall at the Toowoomba Total Equine Expo! Its a fantatic event for both store holders and spectators, a credit for everyone involved

03.01.2022 What do you need to prepare for you appointment? There is no particular facility needs to having a Bowen appointment. You do not need any power supply or particular grounding (e.g. sand, grass or gravel is fine). If possible, shade makes the animal more comfortable, and keeps the animal cooler allowing the body to absorb the manoeuvres more readily. If you have a little foal that hasnt been handled, yards or some sort of restraint is necessary.

03.01.2022 The countdown is over! Queensland Horse Home show here we come! Hope to see u all there

02.01.2022 SHEATH CLEANING FOR YOUR HORSE As a body worker for horses, I see many a horse (namely geldings) drop their penis out as a normal reaction to the relaxation pr...ocess of muscle work for horses as they enjoy their dopamine fix and it is not uncommon to see them in all stages of health and well-being, from the really manky kind to the very healthy . The horses penis is housed in what is commonly known as the sheath, which is a double fold of skin that covers the drawn up penis and helps protects the horses penis. A dirty sheath, a building of debris, often a mixture of urine and dirt, can lead to an infection or urinary problems within the horse. Glands that line the sheath, called sebaceous glands produce a secretion called sebum and it is when the sebum mixes with the build up of sloughing skin cells, urine and dirt it forms into a grey coloured material (although I have seen it many colours from yellow to black) called smegma, can build up and form into a soft, waxy deposit or create hard, dry flakes attached to the skin of the penis and has the potential to create infection and urinary tract issues and if the sheath lining becomes irritated, soreness and swelling can make it difficult for a horse to let down his penis and urinate effectively. If the smegma, is trapped within the head of the penis, this can form what is commonly called a penis bean, which has the potential to create serious health issues for the horse, not only in the urinary tract, but also in the muscular structure of the horse, as he compensates to relieve himself from pain and literally relieve himself. Ideally, in the wild, horses would work this lubrication naturally through having sex, however, in the domesticated horse this is not the case and the build up can and does occurs. In my experience in working with horses that have a penis bean or an extreme build up of smegma in the sheath, I have found that many a gelding will have lower back issues across the kidney area, arent able to fully utilize the muscles of the back for full flexion, arent able to take up the bit and work effectively from behind and tends to have a more open stance in the hind quarters and has limited forward flexion in his hind legs. If you suspect your horse has a dirty sheath (which can be clearly seen) or a "bean" in his penis, here are a few signs/symptoms that he may exhibit: He may or may however, not display all symptoms Lower back pain Soreness in the hind quarters Doesnt drop his penis down to pee Doesnt pee straight, pees off to the side He over stretches his legs and body to pee His urine can be darker than normal and thicker Restricted urine flow Tends to hold his back legs apart Holds one leg up or on tiptoes to pee Kicks up and towards his stomach Change of behavior more cranky than normal Not moving freely Not engaging his hind quarters Not engaging his back fully and wont round Wont work on the bit correctly Unpleasant odor Swollen sheath Swollen head of the penis A male horses genitalia is very sensitive, so if you are for cleaning the sheath and removing the bean from the head of the penis you need to proceed carefully as not only can it be tender and very sore, most horses do not like their manhood being touched and strike and kick out. Not every domesticated male horse (gelding and non working stallion) has this problem. Whilst some are prone to an excessive buildup of smegma, others have very little and there is a contentious issue as to whether or not a sheath should be cleaned as a preventative measure or be left alone and let nature take its course. There are those people that are for cleaning the sheath and those that are against, and those that are in favour of washing a horses sheath do so under the belief that it good hygienic practice and reduces the chance of infection and agree that any excessive buildup can lead to irritation and inflammation, which in turn can make the sheath swell making it difficult for the horse to urinate and if a stallion, the inability to perform his duties properly. However, in saying that many people will argue that a horses sheath self cleans, and in the performance of pro-creation it is also cleaned. Cleaning the sheath can have the potential to affect the natural bacterial levels and also damage the sensitive skin on the penis and within the sheath itself. However, as an equine body worker I certainly believe it is advisable for geldings and stallions to have their sheaths cleaned at least once a year or more often depending on whether or not the level of build up created within the sheath is excessive and is essential for their over all well-being. If you feel the need to have your horses sheath cleaned and you are unable to do it yourself, consult your vet or a person who is well informed and equipped to do it for you. Some horses refuse to have their sheaths cleaned and will need sedation by your vet, which will relax him enough for him to drop his penis out for easy cleaning access. Some beans eventually work their own way out and some of them are so large, that they may need surgery for their removal. In many cases, the horses that I see with rather inflamed sheaths, with a build up of smega, arent cleaned because the owner of the horse are disgusted by the fact of having to do such a job and are too embarrassed to be seen holding the sheath for cleaning. It is a necessary practice of good horse management in the ownership of a horse. So if in doubt, contact your vet and seek professional advice on any bean removal and sheath cleaning to find out which is the best method that best suits you and your horse and whether or not sedation is an option.
