Silence isn’t rudeness 🥹
As therapists, building trust and comfort with clients is so important, and that often starts with conversation. A friendly chat helps horses relax, owners feel involved, and creates the right atmosphere for a positive treatment session. We encourage this for our students when out working with clients.

BUT there’s also a fine line. During certain parts of a massage or rehabilitation session, complete focus and quiet are essential. These are the moments where feeling for subtle changes in muscle tone, fascial tension, or responses from the horse that require full concentration.

Silence isn’t rudeness, it’s respect for the horse and the work being done. It’s where we tune in and let the horse’s body tell us what it needs.

So, if you ever notice things go a little quiet during your horse’s session, know that it’s not because the therapist zoned out, it’s because they are fully tuned in 🙌

Finding that balance between connection and concentration is part of what makes each session so unique, and so effective.

Here's an interesting comparison between human and equine anatomy from our friends at Barrow Veterinary Service:

"Did you know that horses are actually walking on the tips of their fingers and toes? 🐎👣

This diagram shows how the horse’s leg bones compare to ours. What looks like a single strong hoof is really the distal phalanx (or coffin bone) – the same bone that makes up the tip of your finger! The long and short pastern bones above it help absorb concussion, while the cannon bone provides strength and support.

Over time, horses evolved to lose most of their “extra toes” (shown in gray on the left). What remains is a highly efficient structure designed for speed, weight-bearing, and shock absorption.

Understanding this anatomy is one reason hoof care and regular farrier/veterinary visits are so important. Any imbalance or injury in these bones can affect the entire limb and your horse’s comfort.

So next time you watch your horse gallop, remember – they’re essentially running on a single finger, protected by a hoof! 💨🐴"

Unfortunately, your horse can’t say “ouch”… but they can show you when they’re not feeling 100%.

Here are 3 signs your horse might be uncomfortable:
➡ Pinning their ears when being saddled or brushed
➡ Short, choppy strides instead of moving freely
➡ Reluctance to bend, stretch, or pick up a gait

Catching these signs early can make a big difference to your horse’s long-term comfort and performance.

Bodywork helps identify what’s going on and supports your horse back to feeling their best. With regular treatments, their muscles stay supple and ready to perform.

Have you noticed your horse showing any of these signs lately?
It might be time to book them in with your bodyworker. ❤️

Would you like me to also shorten this into a punchy version for the graphic text/carousel slides so it complements the caption and gets the message across quickly?

Update…

I’m currently in a boot for 6 weeks. So at this stage I’m out for a few weeks (at least 6).

Sorry for any inconveniences, however, I need to make sure I do this correctly and heal so I can be back on both feet ASAP.

Please reach out if you are looking for someone as I can make some recommendations.

Thanks for your patience!

All appointments will be postponed until I get some answers.. unfortunately uneven surfaces and my foot didn’t mix.

Fingers crossed no surgery is required but until then I am unable to treat any horses.

I will contact you all once I know more and can stand on 2 feet again.

Apologies for the cancellations this one is out of my control.. life’s way of telling me to slow down 🤷🏼‍♀️🫣
