Flying Hooves - Equine Massage, Bit & Bridle Fitting

04/11/2025

This is Ginge 🧡 he’s been in the FH family for quite some time, but recently we went from bodywork to Reiki and yesterday, back to bodywork 🙌

❓But why??

(Using his mum’s jargon…) we’d pretty much erased his physical “gremlins” and rather than rescheduling his appointment on a very windy day, Ginge hates the wind, we opted for Reiki instead! 🙌

Ginge responded so well, and released mental gremlins and more deeper set physical ones that we continued with the Reiki for a few sessions 🧡

Now, he’s on a one Reiki, one physical program 🤩 since having the Reiki he is out riding more and is generally much more settled, less “worried” and more grounded in himself 🙌

Love you Ginge 🧡

Want to see if Reiki could help your horse? 🐴 drop me a message 😍

Ginge had a body work appointment today, I think he enjoyed auntie Sarah Flying Hooves - Equine Massage, Bit & Bridle Fitting coming to visit him, not sure he was so impressed it was a hands on session but he was very very good 👍🏼

More riding now Ginge sorry

📝 CPD completed in Professional Communication & Applied Welfare in Equine Bodywork 🙌

This one was all about recognising and addressing equine welfare needs and communicating these professionally and considerately with owners 🥰

Some interesting topics in there that I may deep dive into in my future ramblings, with a snazzy little infographic or pic of course!

🏇🏿 Is your horse...

🍃 wound up by the wind?
🎆 fired up by fireworks?
👻 tricked out by Halloween?

I've got a few spaces remaining for treatments, bit & bridle fittings or Reiki. Drop me a message for a chat about how I can help your horse feel more chilled while beating the chill of the cooler months ahead 🙌

🧑‍🏫 Why do I spell check your reports??! 😂 🤦‍♀️

Voice to text is amazing but it’s not always the best at translating... Apparently the lovely Hardy enjoys a bit of fiscal stretching 😂

Perhaps he holds Stud Muffin shares or enjoys playing the “Stock” Market? 😂

I know, the hilarity just keeps on coming… 🙄😜

WOWZERS!!! 🤩 What a month…

This October has been beyond epic! Personally and businessly 🤩 Still playing catch up… reports are imminent everyone 🐎 just need to link videos and spell check!!

Thank you to all of you in our incredible Flying Hooves family 💖 this has been a hard year from a personal perspective but you and your horses have kept me going.

2 years ago I walked away from the corporate world. Now, I’ve never worked so many hours, never done so much research, invested so much money, time, effort… but!!! It is 💯 worth it!

I’m just trying to say, thanks guys. You truly are THEE best!

As many of you will know, one of my favourite things, other than horses, is live music 🎵 🎸 so yesterday was absolutely amazing to go and see one of my long time faves… Duran Duran! And… I got to go with my mega-long time bestie 😍

It was so good 🤩🤩🤩 it’s been awhile since I’ve been to a gig, let alone a big show like this, and I’d forgotten what a blast, a total let stuff go and live in the moment experience, live music can be ♥️

What’s your non-horsey stress relieving thing?

Come to work with me!

Grab a ☕️ or a 🍷 turn the volume up and relax with Lucky 💖

Key things to look for

✅ subclavian release
✅ signs of release
✅ energy work through shoulder
✅ massage along part of kinetic chain
♥️ a bit about Lucky at the very end

I’ve been put in some… errr… “situations” lately and been made to feel inadequate, uncomfortable and like I’m being difficult! Nope, I’m not. I’m only allowed to work within my area!

What I can (& do) do…
♥️ release tense muscles
♥️ perform stretches
♥️ advise on an exercise plan (in fact, I’ll send it to you)
♥️ teach you relevant stretches / exercises
♥️ send you to your dentist, farrier, saddle fitter, vet etc
♥️ assess your horse
♥️ release muscular attachments (origins & insertions)
♥️ treat stress points, knots, adhesions
♥️ release fascia
♥️ tell you if I believe you shouldn’t be riding your horse & why (then refer if I can’t fix)

What I don’t (& won’t) do…
❌ diagnose illness or injury (unless it’s blindingly obvious)
❌ treat a lame horse
❌ work directly on the spine (McTim stuff)
❌ fit your saddle (I’ll tell you if there’s issues)
❌ adjust skeletal structures (Chiro stuff)
❌ work against any of the industry recognised contraindications

What may happen during a treatment…
✔️ ligaments or tendons may pop back into place / realign themselves
✔️ the spine may become straighter as muscles relax
✔️ joints may pop (air bubbles releasing)
✔️ your horse may experience some mild discomfort before releasing
✔️ relaxation, happiness and peace

It’s been on my mind! Hope this is interesting and helps explain more about what I do and don’t do.

If you want me to come do my thing, drop me a message 😊
