25.01.2022 Kisses This was Ashley Krive’s lovely boy Ozzie’s first massage. He wasn’t sure at first but then really enjoyed his massage, although he did check me out very closely as I worked down his back legs!

25.01.2022 Great explanation about why fasting is used with omeprazole.

25.01.2022 Heading to Phoenix Feeds tomorrow, message me if you would like to put an order in. Happy Easter

21.01.2022 Scout had booked the massage but the others had to be involved! Thanks for the photos and videos Steph Gibson and the hilarious horses. When I swapped sides they all had to reshuffle and swap to the other side too.

18.01.2022 Great series of photos showing the amount of feed a horses stomach can hold.

16.01.2022 Foal slippers - commonly know as ‘Golden slippers’. When foals are born, their hooves are covered in a rubbery layer known as a capsule. This soft capsule cover...s the sharp edges of the foal’s untried hooves, protecting the mare in utero and as the foal travels along the birth canal. You have to be quick to snap a picture of the slippers as they begin to dry out and wear away the minute that they make contact with the air. During the foal’s first venture across the ground the soft hoof capsules are worn down to meet the level sole, revealing the hooves we are used to seeing. How amazing is that? See more

16.01.2022 Great shelter design, taking into account the way horses like to shelter from the elements.

15.01.2022 Great exercise to highlight your accuracy and get the collection to strengthen your horse.

11.01.2022 RULES | From July 2021 horses competing in FEI events will no longer be able to have their whiskers shaved. The decision was passed at the FEI General Asse...mbly held earlier this week. "Horses are not permitted to compete in FEI Events if the Horse’s sensory hairs have been clipped and/or shaven or in any other way removed unless individual sensory hairs have been removed by a veterinarian to prevent pain or discomfort for the Horse. Areas of hair that must be clipped, shaven or removed to allow veterinary treatment are exempt from this rule. As of 1 July 2021, Sanction 39 in Annex VI will be applicable". The Veterinary Committee believes that the horse’s sensory hairs must not be trimmed or removed as it reduces the horse’s sensory ability. The change will align with legislation in a number of National Federation's where trimming or removal of sensory hairs is forbidden and in some cases carries a heavy sanction.

05.01.2022 I often have other horses hang out while I’m working on a paddock mate and sometimes sleep resting their head on my shoulder but this was VERY involved

04.01.2022 This is a great explanation about not getting involved in your horses drama. Acknowledge things are happening but don’t add to the drama. I have some pretty hot horses and if I get too involved in a situation I would never get anything done!

02.01.2022 Training the eye - dynamic posture I often get questions asking about how horse owners can identify improvements in their horses way of going. Here are a fe...w pointers of features to monitor and observe as your horse moves - an analysis of dynamic posture. Note: the horse in this image is in progress (like many of our horses!) and so this isn’t the final destination for him. But, this is a good way to monitor his progress... analysis along the way! Particular things we are working on: rider position, head-neck angulation, digestive relaxation and dynamic posture. Joint Range of Motion - each joint has a specific range of angulation that needs to be achieved for healthy biomechanics. Decreased or asymmetrical ROM can indicate weakness or pathology. Dynamic Posture - this is the way in which the horse holds themselves in movement. Is the movement uphill/downhill? Is the tail clamped, and positioned to one side? Are the hind limbs actively engaged and pushing, allowing for a longer length of stride and suspension? Head-neck Angulation - this refers to the openness of the throat region. Where we are looking for the horses head to be on or just in front of the vertical, this angulation should be soft, rounded and open. This is a work in progress for many horses, as the one in the image. The posture of the head and neck should also be varied, not working consistently to an uphill contact all the time, but varying the posture, position and openess of the frame. Rider Position - does the rider sit equally across both seat bones? Is the rider straight in the side view? Is the rider balanced? Does the saddle impede the riders position (this was the case in the image below - before photo on the bottom = saddle was not suitable for horse and rider)? Digestive Relaxation - does the horse appear tucked up? Myofascial tension through the rib cage is common in horses with digestive struggles like hindgut inflammation and stomach ulcers. This may be bilateral or unilateral, and can mean the horse struggles to breathe out and relax through the rib cage and thorax. Ability to Track Up - can your horse track up consistently? Is there an under track with one hindlimb in particular? Does your horse forge, or over-track due to weakness, farriery or conformational issues? Evasion and Behavioural Cues - how does your horse respond to being racked up? Are their eyes soft, or tented? Do they respond to leg and seat aids happily? Consistent or inconsistent contact? And are the contact issues because of tack, experience, balance or pain/discomfort? Length of Stride - is the stride short and choppy? Is the stride adjustable? Is there an asymmetry, so one limb takes a shorter stride than the other?

01.01.2022 Heading to Phoenix Feeds this week to pick up feed. Get in contact if you would like to order some feed or supplements. https://www.phoenix-feeds.com
