09.01.2022 I love the Franklin Method. I use Franklin Balls a lot in my rider assessments. Here is the master himself offering a free online masterclass. You can watch it on replay if you’re asleep during the actual live event (5pm European time 28/4- 1am AEST 29/4)
08.01.2022 Black Lives Matter - yes they do! So do the lives of service animals. Absolutely disgusted by these scenes in London.
08.01.2022 Is your horse showing signs he’s unhappy to be ridden? Does he have back pain? Is he unlevel through his pelvis? If so, he might have sacroiliac dysfunction. This can often be managed and corrected with Physiotherapy. Laser can be helpful with reducing discomfort and myofascial ( soft tissue) pain.
05.01.2022 Laser is something we can now offer our patients. It is a fantastic adjunct to Physiotherapy for pain, tissue healing, oedema and nerve issues.
05.01.2022 I never get tired of watching this! #horseandriderphysiotherapy #peachesterlodge #equinephysiotherapy #apa #acpat

01.01.2022 This week at Hinterland Equine Veterinary Services we are going to talk about Electrolytes and your horse. Electrolyte imbalance in your horse is extremely dan...gerous. It is easily prevented with the addition of electrolytes into your horses feed. When you exercise your horse its muscles generate heat. To prevent dangerous over-heating, the horse sweats to allow evaporative cooling to occur. As they sweat both water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium are lost from the body. Electrolytes are minerals that are present in body fluids. They maintain fluid balance and circulatory function, facilitate muscle contractions, trigger nerve functions, aid in digestion and maintain the body’s acid base balance. Electrolyte replacement powders are designed to provide a balanced daily intake of electrolytes to supplement dietary levels. The powders are added daily to the feed of horses in regular work or during the hot and humid summer months here in Queensland, when heavy sweating is common. Stress and travel can also lead to electrolyte loss. Electrolyte powders are formulated to ensure that sweating does not deplete the electrolyte stores which can lead to alkalosis. Alkalosis occurs when there is a greater loss of chloride in sweat compared to sodium. The disproportionate loss of chloride can lead to an increase in blood bicarbonate levels causing the blood to become alkaline. When alkalosis occurs your horses’ performance will be affected. The effect of alkalosis can lead to excessive blowing after work, uncharacteristic nervousness, fatigue, reduced feed and water intake and an increased risk of tying-up. In addition, electrolyte deficient horses may experience reduced sweating which can result in over-heating. This can be extremely dangerous in sub-tropical climates such as here on the Sunshine Coast. Severe electrolyte deficiency can result in acute dehydration, complete exhaustion, colic, collapse and death, if not rectified. A severe deficiency is a veterinary emergency requiring IV fluids, electrolytes and specialist care. Electrolyte replacement is not only essential to replace the electrolytes lost in sweating but they also encourage adequate water intake. Scientific studies have shown that horses do not regulate their salt consumption to match their needs in the way of salt licks or blocks. Therefore, introducing electrolyte powders into the feed is the most effective way of ensuring an adequate electrolyte balance. Here at Hinterland Equine Veterinary Services we make a complete and balanced electrolyte blend for your horse. It is made with all-natural ingredients with no prohibited substances and only needs to be added to feeds once a day. It is a very cost-effective product to use. We sell it in 10kg tubs for $59.40. The dose rate is 60g per day, therefore one tub will last one horse 166 days, or cost you around 35 cents per day. Please call 0419 650 470 if you wish to purchase one.
