🚨 Attention Coast Clients 🚨

I’m fully booked for Friday, but I still have a few spots available this Thursday during my coast run.

Just a heads up that I’ll be away from the 14th and won’t be back to my normal weekly runs until Monday 30th March.

If your horse could use a treatment before then, now’s the time to book in so you don’t miss out.

Send me a message to secure one of the remaining spots.

🐴 WHY IS MY HORSE SORE IN THE POLL… AND THE HAMSTRINGS?

Here’s something we see all the time 👇

A horse presents sore in the poll… tight through the jaw… resistant to soften…

But when we assess further — the hamstrings and hind end are extremely tight too.

That’s not coincidence.

The poll and the hind end are connected through one continuous topline system. When the hind can’t step under properly, the back drops, the base of the neck tightens, and the poll braces to stabilise the body.

So often the poll isn’t the problem — it’s the symptom.

If the hamstrings are overloaded or guarding:
• The pelvis stiffens
• The lumbar spine tightens
• The horse can’t lift through the core
• The poll locks to protect

This is why some horses take 5–10 minutes to finally soften during treatment.

That’s not stubbornness.
That’s the nervous system shifting from brace mode to relax mode.

At Revital Equine we don’t just chase the sore spot — we follow the chain.

Relieve the hind end.
Support the topline.
Encourage true engagement.

And the poll often releases on its own.

Your horse’s body is one connected system — not separate parts.

If your horse is tight in the poll, it might be time to look behind the saddle. 💛

Our next annual sponsor is Revital Equine for the $5,000 Novice. Winners of this event at every SQCHA show will receive a voucher for a free full body treatment for our equine partners!

Revital Equine is all about keeping hardworking horses feeling their best. With 25 years in the saddle and around performance horses, we know how much they give — and how important proper recovery is.

We offer cryotherapy to help reduce inflammation, soreness and swelling, speeding up recovery after work or injury. Our electro pulse impulse therapy (Medkey Physio) supports muscle release, improves circulation, eases tension and helps horses stay comfortable and moving freely.

Whether they’re cutting, campdrafting, showing or just putting in the miles — we’re here to help your horse stay sound, supple and ready for the next run. 🤎

A huge congratulations to our Revital Equine sponsored rider on finishing 4th in the 1.1m at the North Coast Interschool Queensland Regional Championships!

What an incredible achievement at that level of competition — consistency, grit and true horsemanship shining through when it counted. 💪🐴

Im so proud to support dedicated riders who put their horses first and do the work behind the scenes. Keeping them feeling fresh, moving freely and recovering well is what it’s all about.

4th in a regional championship is no small feat — onwards and upwards from here! 🚀

Well done team 👏

Fun fact…
Medkey doesn’t just work on muscles — it communicates with the brain 🧠⚡️

When we apply the electro pulse impulse therapy, it stimulates sensory nerves in the muscle.

Those nerves send a message up the spinal cord straight to the brain.

The brain then responds by:
✔️ Adjusting muscle tone
✔️ Improving coordination
✔️ Increasing circulation
✔️ Helping switch off protective tension

So it’s not just a local treatment — it’s a nervous system reset.

That’s why some horses drop their head, lick and chew, or fully relax during a session. The brain realises it’s safe and lets go.

It’s communication, not just contraction.

Please share!

Revital Equine will be at the Darling Downs (Dalby) Clinic & Show with a ❄️ cryotherapy unit and muscle/nerve therapy device available for treatments.

If you’re thinking your horse may benefit from a session (or two), please let me know in advance so I can ensure I bring enough CO₂ for cold therapy.

Looking forward to helping your horses feel and perform at their best! 💪🐎

When photos are taken just 1 hour apart, the visible difference after using the Medkey is mainly due to circulation and nervous system response — not fat loss or muscle gain. Here’s what’s happening:

• Increased blood flow – The electro-pulse impulse stimulates micro-circulation. More oxygenated blood to the area can reduce dullness and improve tissue tone quickly.

• Lymphatic activation – It encourages fluid movement. If there was mild fluid retention or stagnation, shifting that can visibly change tightness and contour fast.

• Fascia relaxation – Fascia can hold tension. When it releases, the body can look smoother and more aligned almost immediately.

• Muscle activation or relaxation – Depending on the setting used, muscles may either gently contract (toning effect) or release (softening effect), changing shape and posture.

• Reduced inflammation – If there was mild inflammation, improving circulation can calm it down quickly, reducing puffiness.

So the difference you’re seeing isn’t “magic” — it’s improved fluid movement, circulation, and tissue response. The body can shift quickly when you stimulate the nervous and lymphatic systems properly

Here’s what’s happening:

1. Muscle fibres are being activated

The Medkey sends electro-pulse signals that interact with the horse’s nervous system. These impulses cause:
• Small, rhythmic muscle contractions
• Activation of motor nerves
• Visible twitching or pulsing of the skin

Along the spine, this is very noticeable because the epaxial muscles (long back muscles) sit directly under the skin with minimal fat covering.

2. Nerve stimulation response

The pulses also stimulate sensory nerves, which:
• Improves nerve communication
• “Wakes up” dormant or tight areas
• Helps restore normal muscle firing patterns

This can create a visible wave-like or pulsing effect.

3. Increased blood flow to the area

The stimulation increases:
• Local circulation
• Oxygen delivery
• Removal of inflammation and waste products

As blood flow increases, muscles respond and contract slightly, which contributes to the visible movement.

4. Often stronger in areas of tension or dysfunction

You’ll often see more pulsing where there is tightness, restriction, or previous injury, because:
• The nervous system is more reactive there
• The muscle fibres are “relearning” to relax and contract properly

As the area improves over multiple treatments, the response usually becomes more even and less reactive.

Photography wanted

📸 • 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 • 📸

Once again I am looking for a motivated additional photographer to join me at the 𝐃𝐃𝐂𝐂 𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰. This is a weekend show and goes from the 18th - 22nd March.

✨ 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒆:
• Photo Editing
• Photographing when I am riding/competing
• Photography from sideline
• Reels (this is additional for you)

This role is to primarily focus on editing photos and photographing while I am competing. Happy for you to take reel bookings, however, editing of these will be done in your own time or once the photo editing is up to date.

This role would suit someone wanting to gain more experience in the photograhy/ videography & editing scene. All photos taken will be sold through my business. All reels will be 100% your own.

📅 Date: 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡 - 𝟐𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡
📍 Location: 𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬

📌If you are interested, please private message me with your experience, examples of your work & availability.

Thank you 🧡

When this horse came back into work, his owner noticed he was noticeably uncomfortable — particularly through his hind end and shoulders. He felt stiff, guarded, and unsure in his body.

At the start of the session, he showed clear signs of discomfort. He stepped away from the device, which is something we often see when an area is sore, tight, or overloaded. This isn’t resistance — it’s communication.

The device immediately identified dysfunction through the hind end, allowing us to treat exactly where his body was struggling rather than guessing. As the session progressed, you could see him begin to soften, stand more comfortably, and allow the treatment to continue.

After around 15 minutes, the change through his hind end was obvious — improved engagement, less guarding, and a much freer way of moving.

This is why listening to the horse’s response and treating the source of the issue matters so much when they’re coming back into work.
