How stunning is Fendi?

He’s only 5 but had been struggling with his left canter lead recently so his mum contacted me for a physio session to see if there was anything of note.
Fendi was tight through his left shoulder with slightly less muscle tone over his left hind, which may have been why he was struggling with canter on this reign. After a good massage and stretch and some homework for mum, I’m sure Fendi will be nailing that canter lead in no time!

See you again soo Fendi and huge thank you to your mum for getting in touch. It goes to show that even young horses can benefit from physio and tackling those little problems early on, can stop them becoming big problems later in life!

Lots of love
Paige ❤️

Does your dog lick their paws?

Licking can often be a sign of discomfort, sometimes this can be something simple, like a thorn or an allergy that can be treated quickly (most of the time).
But in some cases, constant licking or gnawing of a paw, joint, or area can indicate something more long term.
I see a lot of arthritic patients with lick stains on particular joints, or patients with hind limb pathologies that chew their back legs.
But why do dogs lick? Licking releases endorphins, endorphins temporarily block pain signals, flooding your dogs system with feel good hormones. Your dog will quickly learn that licking helps numb their pain and it will become a compulsion, this can the lead to sores or infections.
If your dog licks their paws, not just the odd time, but more often than not, drop me a message, and we can work together to get them more comfortable ❤️

Duke enjoying the sun and having a naked run yesterday!

Can’t wait for his winter coat to shed! He’s still so fluffy!

Has your horse started shedding yet?

Good morning! It’s finally starting to feel like spring out there! But who knows how long it will last 😂.

Just a quick post to say that I have now left Body Restore in Bradford.

I want to say a huge thank you to all the clients I saw up there, you truly made my time there enjoyable and I will miss every one of you.

I wish all of the team at fresh paws and body restore the best in the future.

Lots of love ❤️

People often ask me what it’s like having four cats. This. There’s always at least two sat with me. One normally under a blanket or on top of me.

Excuse the biscuits, I’m cat nap trapped 😂

Definitely a day of two halves today! Started the day with a visit to Diego for his regular physio session to keep him in tip top shape for his mum! He decided his hay wasn’t good enough and he needed to share with his neighbour Butterfly!

And then it was a doggy afternoon, the lovely Mabel had her first session today to help with her recovery from an incident of IVDD ❤️.

I’ve got the weekend off with my son before I’m back at it again Monday! I do have some availability next week so message me if you’re needing an appointment!

Lots of love ❤️

100% this. As riders it’s our responsibility to be fit, balanced, and able to carry ourselves in a way that makes being ridden as easy as possible for our horse. And don’t get me wrong, it takes time, we are not born perfectly balanced riders, but taking the time out of the saddle to improve both yourself and your horse is so important. Exercise, regular physio for both horse and rider, and just generally looking after yourself is always a good place to start ❤️

Ros Canter gave us a great insight into the training and management of her horses.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate it! It’s the year of the fire horse, but let’s hope our horses are a bit less firery this year!

And you know what to do if they do get unexpectedly firery… book them in for a physio session 😜😜

Lots of love ###
