I met up with my other sponsored horse/rider combination Woodie and Lily today.
He's been one of my trickiest clients so far, and we weren't sure how he'd be with the rain and gales. I often do his sessions outside as we can combine some movement as well, but that wasn't an option today ๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง

However, he was a absolute star. I paid extra close attention to any signs of him being unsure/uncomfortable with me in his space, even an ear flick was enough to signal to step back and acknowledge him before carrying on.

He melted into the diaphragm work and was even comfortable with me around his HQ and pelvis, which have previously been no go areas โค๏ธ

Well done Woodie! I didn't take any proper photos, so here are some shots of him doing his bestest smile ๐Ÿ˜

I caught up with sponsored horse Handsome Herman earlier this week who is transitioning to barefoot life at the moment.

He's had a reduced ridden schedule and boots to help him with the changes, and although he was a little out of sorts, he certainly benefitted from a lot of slow gentle bodywork in his session.

Our next session will be his last one as a sponsored horse but I hope he'll still be a regular next year!

Thought I'd share a Finn update.
I picked him up from Horsepital on Monday and although he's on strict confinement, he was happy to be back near his friends.

He's having dressing changes every 2-3 days and is on boxrest for the foreseeable due to the deficit in the wound that needs to fill in before he is allowed more movement. He was being allowed inhand grazing whilst he was away, so we do a bit of that each day. Yesterday the boys had their feet done and he managed very well, he enjoyed an hour or so sharing hay with Zephyr.

It's going to be a slow process but we'll get through it.

I've been a bit preoccupied with my boys and have had to postpone some sessions recently, so thanks to people for understanding.

I am able to pop out to see clients local to where my horses are kept though, and had the pleasure of these two last weekend, before Finn got whisked away to Glasgow ๐Ÿ˜…

Marco was so sweet, he's quite mouthy but a lovely boy and he really enjoyed his session, especially fascial work around his shoulders.

Mary was a previous Quad X star, who unfortunately has had even more mishaps since I last saw her. She was almost falling asleep while I did some fascial release on her hind legs and back to help support her recent injury. Her lovely owner has had a lot to deal with recently, so I really hope things improve soon.

With Zeph still on restricted exercise after his lameness work up Finn got in on the action last week and sustained a nasty kick injury.
Unfortunately these things happen with herd living, and I'd hoped we could treat it with good wound management, antibiotics and pain relief.

But sadly no, the wound worsened over the weekend and Finn is currently trying out the 5 * facilities at Glasgow Vet Hospital!
He had a full set of diagnostics yesterday - we already knew the superficial bursa in the hock was infected, but luckily it seems the others are ok, so he's had the wound debrided and flushed under sedation. More tests to come and he may still need further treatment under GA, but he's in good hands.

He was very brave especially considering how he doesn't really leave the track much these days!

I need to give massive thanks to Ed at Solway Equine Vets again for his treatment - he had suggested Finn might need surgery at the start, but I chose a more conservative approach which unfortunately wasn't enough for Finn ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ thank goodness for insurance!

I almost always recommend this exercise, along with the accompanying forward limb technique. I like it because you are NOT stretching the leg, but encouraging relaxation whilst paying attention to the horse and how it moves the limbs.

These guys made me smile yesterday โ˜บ๏ธ

Unfortunately both of my boys are incapacitated at the moment so I'm spending pretty much all my spare time with them, foraging treats and cheering them up.
Luckily Ellie and her gang aren't too far away so I popped over midday to see Sia and Angus. It was especially lovely to see Sia looking so well after a pretty serious health scare earlier in the year, and she was such a sweet girl today.

Angus also deserves a mention for just being Angus ๐Ÿ˜

I'm volunteering at EGB Cumbria Group Smardale ride today. Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting lots of photos. I'm on gate 10 so do say hi!
I'm lucky enough to have actually ridden around that area (albeit only once in 2022!) before Finn favoured early retirement, it's a good 'un ๐Ÿ˜

I had the pleasure of meeting this handsome little chap yesterday evening.
He had recently had a chiropractic session with my friend Rachel Hamer who thought he'd benefit from different bodywork to compliment what she had found and treated.
He certainly seemed to benefit from the massage and fascial release I did and was much more fluid through his whole body afterwards. Our different techniques and training really compliment each other, and we share a few clients now ๐Ÿ˜Š
I can't tag her business page for some reason, but have a look for Rachel Hamer Head to Tail Chiropractic.
