21.01.2022 Searching for rental property on the Mornington Peninsula Due to how busy we are getting and with the veterinary hospital on the farm getting busier by the week, I am searching for another property to run our fabulous Racing Hearts therapy programs from. Ideally around 20-30 acres with some stables and an arena. ... Please contact me if you know of anything available

21.01.2022 This time last year when we were all out competing. Were all missing seeing each other and getting the horses out so much. This is one of my favourite pictures or Ray jumping at his first show. Ray an @rv_offthetrack stallion raced as Raid and Trade, was bought from Echuca sale yards about 6 months before this. He has a heart of gold and is a genuine trier. Now part of our therapy team whilst we wait patiently for our state to reopen #equineassistedtherapy #equineassistedlearning #retrainingofracehorses #secondchances #showjumping #competitions #racehorserehabilitation

20.01.2022 Great to see RNSW following in RVs footsteps with end of life support for thoroughbreds https://www.smh.com.au//racing-nsw-introduces-end-of-life-

20.01.2022 There are many elements of our horses behaviour that we can explain away with our knowledge of how horses usually behave in response to human stimulus. However there are many occasions where our @rv_offthetrack therapy horses behave in ways we dont have a logical or traditional explanation for. Pictured here is one behaviour Ive only witnessed a couple of times. Horses in a herd queuing up and patiently waiting for the client to connect with them. They offer whatever it is ...they offer and move to the back of the queue. Its quite remarkable and was incredibly healing for the client because she said she felt they respected her fear and were kind to her unlike people in her life she felt took advantage of her fears. She also expressed a feeling of being popular which she has never felt before. Experiencing feelings like these helps the mind and body heal at a cognitive and physical level #therapythoroughbreds #equineassistedtherapy #equineassistedlearning #patience #healing #mentalhealth #youth See more

19.01.2022 The empathy of animals is something we could all learn from.

19.01.2022 A fabulous way of incorporating retired racehorses into equine assisted therapy

19.01.2022 Being with horses is a blessing right now - @equinepsychotherapy We are loving spending quality time with our @rv_offthetrack horses here at the farm. Learning so much from them about how to be present in a time when were all worried about the future. Show us how youre spending time with your horse through lockdown & what lessons are they teaching you? #lockdown #horsesofinstagram #love #relationships #companionship #connection #nature #resetprogram #racinghearts #equineassistedtherapy

18.01.2022 After a lovely Christmas & New Year break it was so great to start seeing our clients again this week.

14.01.2022 Have you noticed yourself or any of your friends or family experiencing these signs of burnout? We’re all a bit frazzled after experiencing COVID-19 but some people may be very genuinely burnt out. Check in with yourself each other and be kind

13.01.2022 I Boogie, formerly trained by @scottcameron11 started his retraining program today under the caring skills of @firetail.finch. Alex has been following this horse since she worked with him at @flemingtonvrc and he has finally come back to her. Hes had a nice spell at our farm and were looking forward to seeing this teams progress @rv_offthetrack #racehorseretraining #racehorserehoming #offthetrack #offthetrackthoroughbred #racinghearts

13.01.2022 After a thorough vet check and consult with his previous vet reports, Chatsfield is getting accustomed to being under saddle again in preparation for ridden therapy clients. As he hasnt been ridden for a while we will take it slowly with him, allowing his muscles and other body structures to stretch and strengthen. He will be monitored closely to assess how his body is coping with the exercises. When assisting us with therapy sessions he will mainly walk and on occasion do a small bit of trot. His most important role is supporting the client in their experience @rv_offthetrack @rspca_vic #resetprogram #offthetrack #offthetrackthoroughbred #rehabilitation #ridingtherapy #equineassistedtherapyaustralia #physicaltherapyassistant #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #somaticexperiencing #nervoussystem #nervoussystemregulation

12.01.2022 What are some of the skills and benefits of equine assisted learning? Horses can support and challenge you to develop and deepen mindfulness and awareness skill...s, enhance relationships, and strengthen somatic, emotional, and social intelligence. Just to name a few! In short, working with horses to support growth and wellbeing can change your life

09.01.2022 They’ve given us so much and they make us feel better inside We simply love, adore and admire our beautiful Off The Track horses. This is why we do what we do. ... Giving retired racehorses a new pathway in life post racing, helping people pave a new life for themselves #lovethehorse

08.01.2022 A very important part of maintaining our horses health is ensuring that their muscles are supple and not sore or tight. Today our therapy horses Goofy, Hissing Sid and Chatsfield had a full work over treatment from the fabulous @christianlangeder from Thorough Performance. As you can see from their faces they thoroughly enjoyed it. 3 horses that are even more Zen now than they were before treatment (we didnt think it possible!) @rv_offthetrack @rspca_vic #resetprogram #offthetrack #equinemassagetherapist #equinebodywork #horsehealth #therapythoroughbreds

08.01.2022 We have been speaking up to make sure that informal respite support is available for families with children with disability under the stage 3 and 4 restrictions.... We can now confirm that children with disability in Metro Melbourne and Regional Victoria can: Go to a relatives or family friends home for care, including overnight care. This must be a pre-existing arrangement. Travel more than 5km and travel during curfew to get to the relative or family friend. Relatives and family friends can also come to your home to assist with the care of children with disability. This is allowed under the care and compassionate grounds.

08.01.2022 This drawing from "Horse Brain, Human Brain" went viral when it was posted on the Horse and Rider Books page. It generated 599 shares and 89 comments in a very ...short time. Horses don't see with as much sharp detail as humans do. That difference results in some startling images. Next time, you're galloping down to a jump, you might want to know what your horse sees. Then again, maybe not.... What do you think?

07.01.2022 R U OK Day (Suicide Awareness Day) was incredibly triggering and confronting for so many people. So much more than our experience last year mainly due to lockdown. Yesterday, through a variety of mediums, we assisted over 30 people who reached out for help. Between 2 practitioners that is a lot of space to hold in one day. But we were here! We were here for last minute appointments, we were here to answer texts and take calls from those in distress. Every single person said... they felt much better having reached out and spoken to us. Dont shy away from the conversation. Whilst the official R U OK Day was yesterday, many people will potentially be feeling the hangover of it today. R U OK Day is everyday. If youre concerned about a friend, family member or colleague, you can ALWAYS call us and ask for assistance. We are here to help Elandlodge #ruokday #werehereforyou #therapy #equineassistedtherapy #suicideawarenessday #reachout #mentalhealth

07.01.2022 Jessie Smith thought she had lost her best friend in the devastating bushfires that took over 80-acres of her family's property in South Australia. Her horse Kiwi, an Off The Track thoroughbred, had other plans. #LoveTheHorse

06.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. This year, this message is more important than ever due to how we are surviving through lockdown restrictions. This years message is to learn what to say after R U OK? so you can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK?... Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide.

02.01.2022 Horse riding helps me still feel like me. Theresa wasnt into crossword puzzles, so she took up horse riding to pick up the pace for her brain and her body. Its things like this that keep Theresa strong and make living with dementia a little easier.
