25.01.2022 A beautiful story :-)

25.01.2022 If your horse is unhappy when placing the saddle on it might be a good indication that he/she is sore over the back or through the shoulders. I have had a lot of success in taking the pain away to give you back a happy horse. Sharon - 0408123341

24.01.2022 The results of ETRT have been most satisfying, showing that this form of gentle, holistic health care can and does relax and restore the natural energy balance of the horse. Muscle tension, so often the cause of poor performance or the beginning of bigger problems in horses. Equine Tension Release Therapist Sharon Velo 0408 123 341

24.01.2022 Tip 2 When placing a saddle on your horses back remember to sit it behind your horses shoulder, if you don’t they won’t be able to move freely and by being restricted they will be uncomfortable and become sore, also very important that your gullet is wide enough and fitted correctly so no pinching will happen. These are common causes on why horses get sore through the back, girth and shoulder areas, simply by knowing where to place your saddle will save you lots of problems in the future. Check out u tube for some great video's of how to place a saddle correctly as well as the pics below.

24.01.2022 A lot of the horses I have been treating lately are suffering from sore backs, hammies or pec muscles, unfortunately this makes the horse very uncomfortable and cranky, A couple of helpful tips to check for: - Check for soreness in your horses back by running your hands down either side of the spine, if you get a dipping reaction your horse more than likely has a sore back.... - While doing up the girth is your horse reacting to any pain by turning around to nip you, or laying their ears back or is there a lot of twitching going on Your horse usually lets you know when they are feeling sore, so look for any tell-tale signs and if they are trying to tell you something be aware of their body language and then help your horse get back to being supple, happy and comfortable.

23.01.2022 A short description of how Equine Tension Release Therapy can help you and your horse.

23.01.2022 Foundering It’s getting to that time of year again that we all have to be very careful with our horses and to keep an eye out for signs of foundering, especially if they have foundered before. A few signs to look for are: stiffness in the legs, heat in the feet, crest on the neck, reluctance to trot or turn, not happy within themselves. A great test is to trot them out on a hard surface and look for any signs of soreness. Keeping them fit or at least 3 times a week a good work out, bush or dirt paddocks, grazing muzzles will all help towards the prevention of foundering and a good way to control their weight through spring. Unfortunately if your horse does founder and you haven’t caught it in time move them straight into a dirt yard to prevent any further damage from occurring.

23.01.2022 Soreness Constantly be aware of how your horse is feeling and how you are feeling, as we know when we are sore we don’t work as well as we should due to the pain. It is important to both keep yourself and your horse comfortable and relieve any tight muscles that are restricting your movement.

23.01.2022 Is your horse having trouble flexing to one side more than the other, a general balance and release of the muscles will get your horse working much softer. Call to make an appointment Equine Tension Release Therapist Sharon - 0408123341

22.01.2022 Thank you for viewing! Please share. This is a video of Working Equitation - A sport developed in Europe that is becoming very popular here in the USA. There ar...e four phases - Dressage, Ease of Handling, Speed, and Cow Trial. Competition consists of several levels - Intro/Novice to International/Master. WE encourages all breeds and disciplines - Andalusian, Lusitano, Quarter Horses, TB, Western, English, Hunt Seat, Stock Horse, etc. This is the International Level, Speed Phase at the Haras Cup in Magnolia, TX - October 2014 featuring Antonio Garcias Roldan - This man is the most gracious competitor. He is adored by the fans and he rides with such grace and elegance, always giving the horse the responsibility to carry himself. Watch how often the curb rein is slack at speed (pause the video during the single slalom between 2 and 3, entering and over the bridge, on the way to the pen, on the way to the barrels....)

21.01.2022 Is your horse cranky when you place the saddle on or tighten the girth? Probably due to sore back, pecs or shoulder muscles. This can be easily fixed and you will have a much happier horse after a treatment. A professional saddle fit is highly recommended.

20.01.2022 How Bits Work with Bomber Nel! (Full interview with Bomber coming soon - be first to know when it's out: http://mjfzwvnk.megaph.com/ ) There has been the most i...ncredible interest shown in the video I posted about tongue sensitive horses. It made me realize that many of us are not conversant with exactly how each bit works and what is available on the market. This is part of an interview I did with my friend Bomber Nel, who I regard as the best bit maker in the world. This 1st video is about gags and snaffles and their actions. Good viewing, Gav

20.01.2022 The long awaited feasibility study which has scoped the possibility of building an equine centre capable of hosting world-class events is now open for comment. The study has found that a venue of this calibre is possible so if you would like to see this built in the Macedon Ranges, it is important for you to have your say now. You only have until THURSDAY 2ND APRIL to comment so please get involved and pass this information around to all your horsey contacts and networks i...Continue reading

19.01.2022 It's HERE! Sneak Peek of the Budweiser Commercial Tommie just did for the Superbowl! Let us know what you think.

18.01.2022 Very interesting reading.

18.01.2022 Tip 3 When riding is your horse having trouble flexing to one side more than the other, this could be due to lactic acid building up in the muscles due to extra work load as your horse is working one diagonal harder than the other, (a bit like us being right or left handed), the right or left diagonal may be out and a general balance and release of the muscles will get your horse working much softer.

16.01.2022 Thank goodness winter is over and the warmer weather is only around the corner, a great time for riding and enjoying our four legged friends :-) Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be placing some tips, which will help you to recognise signs that your horse maybe giving you to let you know he/she is sore. Tip 1 When brushing all that winter coat out of your horse look for twitching or irritation, watch for signs such as behavioural changes that normally wouldn’t be there, placing their ears back in irritation, getting cranky when you place the saddle on, even though they can’t speak they are very good at showing us if they are uncomfortable.

16.01.2022 Having been abused this morning for requesting a driver slowed down whilst passing my horse and I on my residential street, I thought this should be shared with my friends. It would be great if this could turn viral for a day or two so please pass it along.

13.01.2022 Sore Backs It’s not long know before we get the beautiful spring weather we’ve all been waiting for and a great time to get back out riding, if your horse has been consistently ridden through winter or you are just getting back into it as the weather starts to fine up be aware of how your horse is feeling. Check for soreness in your horses back by running your hands down either side of the spine While doing up the girth is your horse reacting to any pain by turning around t...o nip you or is there a lot of twitching going on in the girth area Your horse will usually tell you when they are sore, so look for any tell-tale signs and if your horse is trying to tell you something it would be worthwhile getting him treated so both you and your horse can enjoy a wonderful ride together.

11.01.2022 I have been having great results working on horses over the past 12 months and really enjoy receiving the fantastic feedback from everyone, I get such satisfaction from being able to help the horse to be more comfortable and pain free, and recently I have been helping a few riders as well. who have said that they now know how their horse feels :-) and now double book for their horse and themselves.

10.01.2022 Keep an eye on your horses this winter. Horses running around the paddock this time of year have a tendency to slip and slide due to the moisture on the ground, muddy conditions and the lack of ground cover that we have during winter, so even though some of us ride a lot less in the cold we still need to watch out for any signs of stiffness or being sore, both in the rider and the horse. Check your horse over every so often and look for twitching, ears back or a change in their normal personalities which are all signs that your horse could be sore. If you or your horse need a treatment please give me a call on 0408123341. Equine Tension Release Therapist Sharon Velo

10.01.2022 It is important to keep your horse comfortable and relieve any tight muscles that are restricting their movement, it is also equally important to treat yourself. I am qualified to treat both you and your horse (and also your dog).

10.01.2022 DIY Homemade Showsheen: Just mix and add the ingredients to any clean spray bottle. The conditioner is great for detangling tails, the baby oil adds a nice shin...e, and the vinegar helps to remove stains. 1/4 cup hair conditioner 1/4 cup baby oil 3 tablespoons white vinegar 1/4 cup water If you’re using it before you ride, avoid applying it to the saddle area as it can make your horse slippery. Also, if you’re planning to braid don’t use it on your horse's mane. I've found with overuse it can create a build up on my horse's coat, much like store bought Show Sheen. Use sparingly for best results. Via: Savvy Horse Woman.

09.01.2022 HUMANS EVOLVED WITH THE HELP OF TWO FANTASTIC FRIENDS, HORSES AND DOGS. Humanity is not the same as being human, humanity is being able to respect and preserve... life, to empathize with extraordinary beings like animals and be able to create an atmosphere of harmony and wellness for them. This learning should pass from generation to generation among humans. In this incredible video with Santi Sierra a Spanish trainer you can see how strong it can be, the friendship between men, horses and dogs.

08.01.2022 silly fun... It's just 'how we roll' here at Dressage Naturally... where dressage is very very serious(ly fun) http://dressagenaturally.net

08.01.2022 Incredible tribute to the 8 million horses, donkeys and mules that died faithfully supporting their respective armies. Faithful to the end. We will remember them.

08.01.2022 Performance Horses Being your horse is an eventer, show horse, pony clubber, any discipline that involves constant riding and work, as with all fine athletes, regular maintenance on the body is essential. We ask the horse to do many things that they wouldn’t normally do and with their kind natures they allow it, so it is important for us to be aware of how they are holding up to their work load and give them help if it’s needed.

08.01.2022 Yup, we've all been here!!

04.01.2022 Some useful information I found shared by a friend. Worth a read That bite of summer has well and truly come early this year and with that heat, comes snakes. ...This article was written by Rob Timmings Rob runs a medical/nursing education business Teaching nurses, doctors and paramedics. It’s well worth the read #ECT4Health 3000 bites are reported annually. 300-500 hospitalisations 2-3 deaths annually. Average time to death is 12 hours. The urban myth that you are bitten in the yard and die before you can walk from your chook pen back to the house is a load of rubbish. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Let’s start with a Basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (NOT into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body. Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc. Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck. Back to the snake bite site. When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues). The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten. Stay still!!! Venom can’t move if the victim doesn’t move. Stay still!! Remember people are not bitten into their blood stream. In the 1980s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further retard venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream. A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (don’t wash the area). Technique: Three steps: keep them still Step 1 Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite. Step 2: Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin. The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage. Step 3: Splint the limb so the patient can’t walk or bend the limb. Do nots: Do not cut, incise or suck the venom. Do not EVER use a tourniquet Don’t remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing. Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement. DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important. In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesn’t change treatment. 5 years ago we would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used. BUT NOW... we don’t do this. Our new Antivenom neutralises the venoms of all the 5 listed snake genus, so it doesn’t matter what snake bit the patient. Read that again- one injection for all snakes! Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in all hospitals, so most hospitals no longer stock specific Antivenins. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Allergy to snakes is rarer than winning lotto twice. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom. Did I mention to stay still. ~Rob Timmings Kingston/Robe Health Advisory #vrarescue #snakebite

04.01.2022 We were going to post a long blog about the training progress on Fist Pump, Thirsty Soul and others today but Jaded Lover stole the show! All winter, Dale has n...oticed that JL wasn't just interested in cattle, he was obsessed with them. Not in the least afraid, he seemed to find them the most fascinating creatures in existence. And so we simply could not help ourselves this morning...we turned him loose with them...and what a show he put on! A true natural cow horse if there ever was one! (and have you ever seen a horse having so much fun?)

02.01.2022 Equine Tension Release is based principally on the Bowen therapeutic technique for humans, which was developed by Mr Tom Bowen of Geelong in Victoria over 40 years ago. The Bowen technique is currently being taught and applied world-wide. The technique uses a series of gentle manipulative moves on the ‘trigger points’ of the connective tissue covering the muscles. These moves can significantly reduce or completely eliminate muscle spasms and empowers the body’s own ability to re-balance and heal itself.

01.01.2022 Do you have a horse that is fussy in the contact, that plays or chews on the bit or gets it tongue over the bit? Then this short video may help you. The Hyoid ...can affect our entire horses contact, balance and breathing. I believe that the Hyoid is one of the most important aspects to the horse and that it needs to sit in balance. Remember to be patient and always make sure you do both sides of the horse to keep the hyoid apparatus in balance. This Video has been shortened. To find out more visit www.Vickiwilson.nz
