23.01.2022 It’s been a long time since I have posted as I have been doing very little massage. A very few (persistent) people have managed to get me to see their horses over the past year or so. However it’s difficult to say no when people are desperate. Myofascial release, plus whatever my form of ‘energy’ or ‘craniosacral’ is (not qualified in either, only qualified in massage), and listening to the horse is what I do. I don’t have all the answers or explanations. Gosh sometimes... I forget the name of the particular muscle I’m working on! But whatever it is I do I’m very grateful and happy when people give me feedback like this, unsolicited. Since moving to Seymour very few people know of me. Is there something in the saying that those who truly need you will find you? I’m not sure, but this horse is glad his owner reached out. He was really bad, a poor and sorry soul. I made no promises, but this is wonderful .

22.01.2022 Definitely eeeekkk for me with Pablo and Leonardo. The others not affected as much but boy, laminitis is a worry if you have a susceptible horse! Weird to think someone wouldn’t want the rain but they do say us horse people are crazy!

21.01.2022 This is a good way to put it. Please read!

10.01.2022 Your horse is two sided. Going right his body copes differently to going left. One side will be easy, and prone to overbending when you’d like less bend. The other side will be stiff and prone to being straight when you’d like more bend. Treat the direction in the opposite way to the horses preference. Remember this is an exercise, it doesn’t mean ride like this all the time. Do a little then allow the horse to recover. Time can gradually get a little longer but remem...ber it still is an exercise not done for the entire session. This picture is from Jane Savoie’s Dressage 101. Like most books I don’t agree with everything, but there are plenty of good descriptions. So often I hear riders complaining about unevenness in their horse - but not doing anything about it, some even expecting the massage to ‘fix it’. Work on straightness and continue to build up understanding of why gymnastic exercises are done. Happy riding!
