23.01.2022 An interesting read and study for the Show Jumpers/ Eventers. The link to the study aim and conclusion is in the comments.

23.01.2022 This week I am providing comfort and relief to horses in the following areas, on the following days. Tuesday: Gladstone Wednesday: Calliope Thursday: Mt Larcom... Friday: Rockhampton Muscular assessments and remedial massage therapy available. Appointments still available - pop us a message or call/text 0448-516-318 to book in or discuss how Equine Myofunctional Therapy can help you.

21.01.2022 WHAT HAPPENED? Mid 2019, I unfortunately injured my already failing shoulder to the point I had to put the brakes on and limit my Myofunctional Massage (EMT) bookings. I am so grateful to my clients that understood and stuck with me while I continued on, at a slower pace. 2020, saw my condition worsen and our services reducing to Muscular assessment, Nutritional Planning and Advice only. This turn of events meant I had more time to get serious about the sport of Endurance a...nd build our Equine Facility. Our horses became poster-children of MG Equine Services and were very successful! We grew, all while waiting for the shoulder surgery which came Mid December. Woohoo! Although I stopped updating this page, we never stopped moving forward and MG Equine Services has actually grown! - Our client base for nutrition has expanded nationally - Our Home facility, will soon be open to out-side horses as a Pre Training & Conditioning service. Offering use of our extensive, purpose-built Paddock Paradise track system. WHAT NOW? I still have another operation on my knee due shortly, but the estimated timeline is as follows: Today: Nutritional Advice & Planning, Brand Ambassador search begins. March: Expand to include Muscular Assessments June: Expand to include Pre Training & Conditioning August: Full range of services to be open. Including EMT! Thank you again to all of my glorious and compassionate clients who have stuck with me and given me a chance to assist them - It is whole heartedly appreciated Yours Sincerely Tilly Photo credit: Sarah Sullivan Photography *'Take The Cash Thamani' finishing his first 40km event happy & strong*

21.01.2022 Where am I, this weekend? Saturday: Rockhampton & surrounds. Sunday: Gladstone Calliope region... *Appointments still available for both days* If you would like more information or have any queries, please feel free to send me a message, or give me a call on 0448-516-318. In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely weekend! Kind Regards Tilly Gilbert

19.01.2022 Offering Remedial Massage in the Calliope area this Friday, 20 July. Please feel free to pop me a message or call 0448-516-318 if you have any enquiries or would like to book in. Regards, Tilly

19.01.2022 ***APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE*** Tomorrow (Friday 12th) in Rockhampton and surrounds. The appointment time is 9 AM (although it could be earlier, if you need).... I'm available for EMT remedial massage, muscular assessments and nutritional advice/planning. If you would like to make a booking, please pop me a message or give me a call on 0448-516-318. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Tilly PS my next Rockhampton visit will be on Sunday, the 21st of April. Currently there are still 3 sessions available. PPS photo attached is of ZuluDawn, a lovely heavy sport horse mare. Zuli had been struggling with a strained suspensory injury, which lead to the development of a club foot, a few years back. (This mare also had clover leaf hinds prior to that) The past year we have been on a strict hoof care and massage treatment which has proved to balanced her, increase her range of motion, improved her saddle fit and functionality as a ridden horse. Her work load is minimal, but she is observed to no longer swell after rides and afternoon frivolity in the paddock. Her muscles are considerably more pliable and functional - a comfortable, happy horse in motion - ready to increase her workload.

18.01.2022 For those struggling to find the right bit for their horse - here is a download to help you. Why is bitting important? A happy horse is better able to focus on the task at hand and work in a functional frame. A tense or fidgeting horse, reacting to incompatible bit pressures and sensations, has an increased risk of injury due to hollowing of the lumbar region, increase poll/cervical pressure through bracing, and a decreased range of motion. An unhappy horse due to the bit gen...erally struggles to maintain focus, or hold a frame. Some signs of an incompatible bit, or a bitting issue include head shaking, grabbing the bit, pulling, going excessively behind or above vertical and tail swishing whenever rein pressure is applied (just to name a few). Muscular functionality, posture and conformation can all influence the effectiveness and effects of a bit, so here is a link for those who have noticed their horse isn't totally relaxed in the bridle. Note: Dental status, saddle fit, training and muscular strain can also influence the effectiveness and compatibility of a bit.

15.01.2022 Where am I this week? Monday: Gladstone & Calliope area Tuesday: Rockhampton, Alton Downs area Wednesday - Friday: No specific area set.... Saturday/Sunday: Gladstone & surrounds. Appointments still available for Myofunctional massage treatments & Nutritional Planning, so pop me a message or give me a call if you would like to book in a session - I am more than happy to travel anywhere in the Central Queensland area. Note: Discounts apply for multiple horses, and return visits. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'll be playing with horses, so I know I will! Tilly

15.01.2022 Where am I next week? I'll be in the Gladstone region Monday/Tuesday & in the Rockhampton region Friday/Saturday. Appointment spaces still available - pop me a message or give me a call on 0448-516-318. More than happy to answer any queries.... Enjoy the weekend! :) Tilly

13.01.2022 The competition season is fast approaching! To ensure your horse is functionally fit to perform, so you can put your best steed forward, Equine Myofunctional Therapy (EMT) is a great therapy to consider. EMT improves muscle pliability, fluid circulation, muscular development, general comfort and even reduces the risk of sport related injury. EMT is great for all breeds, training stages, disciplines and age brackets; making it great for the resting horse too.... Treatments are conducted to individual preference and acceptance. My tools are hands, allowing me to really feel your horse; tailor my techniques to the specific situation and make adjusts when and as soon as necessary - all to ensure your horse has the best experience and gets the most out of each session. Muscular Assessments are $25, allowing you to be aware of which muscle groups are not functionally sound. EMT Remedial Massage (which include the assessment) are $95 (initial treatment) & $75 (follow up treatments). I am available both week days and weekends; I am also available at events, through prior arrangement. If you would like more information about how EMT can help your horse/s or if you aren't certain of my availability, please feel free to send me a message, or give me a call on 0448-516-318 - I am more than happy to answer questions. In the meantime, I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Kind Regards Tilly Gilbert

05.01.2022 Just completed a couple of assessments at the Calliope Campdraft Gold Goblet. Although horses are natural athletes, they can suffer from muscular strain and injury, just like human athletes. These strains can result in poor/decreased performance, compensatory injury and ill behaviour, just to name a few. At MG Equine Services, we offer Sports EMT massage, for horses currently in work &/or competing. We also offer Remedial EMT massage for injured, strained and spelling horse ...or the going horse who can afford to have a little time off. If you are unsure about your options or what would best suit your athletes, please feel free to contact me via Messenger or on 0448-516-318. Kind Regards Tilly Gilbert Equine Myofunctional Therapist
