🎠CLIENT UPDATE - HENRY🎠

Some of you may remember Henry, the little pony who fractured his pelvis last year after escaping onto a dual carriageway.

Well....

This ABSOLUTE TROOPER is back in ridden work and doing amazingly 😍

My eldest, Alba, has taken him on as a share pony which means I'm even closer to his progress now (I treated him to an impromptu session at the weekend with Alba as my assistant - Henry just can't get enough of a good massage 🤣)

This time last year it was uncertain whether Henry would ever make it back to ridden work, but he's got there because of the patience and dedication of his owners to his rehab.

If your horse has sustained an injury or setback like this and the road ahead seems long and hopeless...have faith and stick at it!

It is a slow, frustrating, repetitive process, BUT it is possible 💪🏼

Drop me a call or a message if you need any help or advice about your rehab journey 📞📱

Take note everyone 👀✍🏼

🌟 Tips to help your equine therapist 🌟

🐴 If your horse is in the field, aim to bring them in 30-60 minutes prior to the session start time to allow them time to relax and have something to eat (a hangry horse can be tricky to work with).

🐴 Have your horse ready 15 mins before the session start time to enable your therapist to start at the allocated time (just 5-10 minutes late start time, can significantly impact on their whole days schedule)

🐴 Horses need to be dry and mud free head to tail (therapists can’t massage a wet, soggy horse)

🐴 Avoid hard feed 30-60 minutes prior and directly after a session (hay, forage & water is OK. Plenty of water should be available during and after a session)

🐴 Horses should be given time after a session to process, unwind and embrace the benefits of their therapy.

Although we’re not supposed to have “favourite” clients and horses, please be advised that supplies of beverages, biscuits and cakes will certainly bump you up the list 😉

🐴 DIVA 🐴

Met this beautiful girl for her first physio session today 😍

Safe to say she thoroughly enjoyed it and was an absolute angel 😇, definitely not living up to her name 💅🏼

This lovely mare was carrying a fair bit of tension in her poll and down through her neck with weakness apparent in her thoracic sling.

This is a new horse to my client who confirmed that she tends to overbend and hold herself rigidly when ridden, something they are working to rectify.

Hopefully after massage, stretching and mobilisation she will be feeling a bit more supple!

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress this pair makes over the next few months with the work they are already doing, and also implementing the advice I have given 🥰

📱If your horse needs a tune up, you need advice about strength and conditioning, or they just deserve a pamper, drop me a message to book them in 📱
