24.01.2022 Good information to consider for your horses joint health

23.01.2022 How can Sports Massage benefit our horses? Just like human athletes our horses feel muscle soreness and tension resulting from physical activity or injury and benefit from regular massages to: Enhance overall performance by providing comfort and relaxation to tight, tired or sore muscles. ... Restore normal muscle tone, elasticity and freedom of movement Reduce chance of injury by increasing flexibility and suppleness Relieve muscle tension, spasms and associated pain Improve posture and balance Improve circulation and drainage of toxins such as lactic acid And just as important as the many physical benefits of sports massage for the equine athlete, it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience for our horses and they usually are very expressive about how great it feels.

19.01.2022 Bit Fitting - Expression of Interest Gauging if there would be interest in having a bit fitting clinic in the Hunter Valley? Clinic would be run by a Bit Bank Aust accredited bitting specialist and include a talk on bitting and a bit fitting session for each horse with the opportunity to trial a range of different bits.

13.01.2022 Definitely a worthwhile clinic for all horseowners to attend ***************** Movement Matters in our horses, but do you know what can effect their movement, or even how to assess their movement in the first place? Conformation plays a key role in movement, but so do other things such as hoof balance and metabolic issues. Do you know how EPSM, gastric ulcers or chronic laminitis can change the way your horse moves?... In this 1 or 2 day clinic you will: discover the bony landmarks used by professionals, see muscle assymetry and understand what that is telling you, discover how the saddle can affect your horse, consider how conformation sets up your horse's gait pattern, learn about common metabolic conditions and how they can significantly limit the horse, understand how ECVM can present in a horse, and more. Have your questions answered! This clinic will be delivered in language that everyone can understand, so owners and professionals can both benefit from the information. There will be hands-on activities, looking at living horses, and classroom lectures. You can book in for 1 day (the saturday, which is the basics of conformation and biomechanics and assessing gait) or 2 days, on the second day we will go into common causes of movement problems, saddle fit gait changes, metabolic isses, sublte lameness etc. To attend day 2 you must attend day 1.

10.01.2022 TOP TEN TIPS FOR FITNESS & SOUNDNESS WHEN BRINGING HORSES BACK INTO WORK AFTER A WINTER BREAK Following on from yesterday's post on the pros and cons of roadwor...k, which had a few people foaming at the mouth :), here are my top ten tips for bringing horses back into work to get them fit and keep them sound. 1) Limit the amount of trotting on roads to 5-10 minutes a day 2) Walk as much as you want on roads 3) Use a variety of surfaces - road, arena, tracks, all-weather; 4) 3-4 sessions per week is sufficient for increasing fitness 5) Space sessions as equally as possible (working only on Sat and Sun does little to increase fitness) 6) Increase work gradually. One of the biggest risks for lameness is a sudden increase in work e.g. from 30 minutes walk and trot to cantering uphill on a soft surface! 7) Increase the workload approximately every 2 weeks - with regular exercise 3-4 times a week this is how long it takes the body to adapt 8) Use a combination of ridden and lunging exercise (even treadmill and or swimming if you have it), especially in the first few months of training when your horses back is not as used to carrying weight! 9) Try to avoid uneven or very deep surfaces or surfaces that change dramatically from hard to soft, even to uneven 10) Boots and bandages protect - they don't support. Don't overtighten as this will do more harm than good

09.01.2022 The glamorous life of a horse owner collecting manure samples as the sun rises Do you worm your horses regularly with rotating wormers OR ... Do you have faecal egg count tests done to reduce wasted $ and wormer resistance #overallhorsecare
