Woo Woo stuff & I love it 💫🧙

It’s a long ass video of some beautiful energy work on two different souls 💕

I’m not talking about ‘Reiki’. I dismiss that word because, in my personal opinion, everyone has the ability to work with energy , and you don’t need to pay money to be ‘attuned’. 🤦🏻‍♀️ we are already attuned

People often dismiss energy work because they don’t fully understand it.

When you work with energy, it’s a very personal experience for both parties. The sensations and responses are real experiences.

When you first feel it, it can be surprising or even a little unsettling, because it’s unfamiliar, when I first felt it, it scared me. it’s not something you can easily imagine until it happens.

When your intention encourages flow or movement under your hands, that rhythm reflects changes happening at more than just at a physical level.

Try & stay open to possibilities.

Be curious.

Explore through experience.

Indoctrination means the process of teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs or ideas without questioning them often in a way that discourages independent thought.

There’s far too much rigid thinking in the world. People fear change or worry about the unknown.

If you’ve not already experienced some energy work on yourself or your horse please try it ☺️

Open your mind. 🙏

Recalibrating

After an oab st Osteopathic session with myself.

Your horses nervous system is recalibrating the muscles, fascia, and proprioceptors are all processing new sensory information.

In certain cases, I will recommend movement afterwards to help the body integrate these changes.

Gentle, correct movement supports the nervous system as it builds new communication pathways between the brain and body.

When I release restrictions, I’m not just loosening muscles or freeing up the joints I’m inviting the neural feedback loops to recalibrate.

This is how the body learns to move differently, carry itself more efficiently, and let go of protective holding patterns. Often reveling the root cause of a long term issue.

Osteopathy doesn’t just change the structure it changes the conversation between the body and the brain.

My amazing client who is doing a little bit of gentle movement with her lovely Rio.

Pull back !

It’s been another cranial sacral day!

I worked with this lovely mare who had a sudden pull back in her stable. She caught her headcollar. It was an unfortunate accident, but even a split second trauma like this can ripple through the body often creating lasting effects.

A pull back can affect the whole body, like the poll, tmj, cervicals, spine, cranial bones, and nuchal ligament, and can even impede cerebrospinal fluid flow, alter balance and proprioception, restrictions in fascia and impact vision. It’s a serious incident and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I know this personally because my own horse had a very traumatic pull back about 6 years ago, he literally hung himself off the side of a horsebox. His front legs were off the ground!! If I’d known then what I know now, I could have helped reduce many of the issues he still experiences today.

If your horse has experienced a pull back. Please get your therapist to assess. This kind of incident can explain a lot if your horse is showing any ridden or movement issues.

Cranial sacral is a gentle hands on technique that helps release tension in the skull, spine, and sacrum, supporting normal movement of the cerebrospinal fluid and improving the body’s overall balance and function.

The struggle is real

As an equine therapist my top priority is always the horses health and well being. I approach each horse as an individual carefully assessing their physical, emotional and structural needs.

Sometimes, that means a vet/dentist/saddle fitter referral or recommending a change of diet or a period of no ridden work to ensure long term soundness.

Sadly this advice often isn’t well received, and some owners seek out alternative opinions that align more closely with their expectations.

Sometimes the ‘yard experts’ get involved, dismiss & discredit the advice thats been given.

Advice is ignored
A new therapist comes in that doesn’t align with a whole horse approach & before you know it the horse is being ridden, still being fed an inappropriate diet & the problem is still there & often gets worse until the horse completely breaks down.

I don’t have a problem with multitude therapists working on the same horse. It’s just a bit concerning that glaringly obvious body issues are missed, ignored & not questioned🤦🏻‍♀️

The frustration is real

The Head

How many times do we see a horse tilting its head?

If you think about it, humans put an enormous amount of pressure on the head & mouth, it’s the main area of focus in ‘controlling ‘ them.

Whether thats leading them, riding, loading into a trailer etc
So you can imagine the amount of damage that can occur through their lifetime. Not forgetting any impacts.

The implications are there to feel & see when assessing before a treatment.

I only did half an hour with this boy, any longer would have sent him over his threshold as I was working with his nervous system. He’s such a sensitive soul.

A subtle head tilt can create ripple effects throughout the horses body.

Subtle changes in the head affect breathing, posture and balance because the fascial, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems are all connected from the skull to the sacrum.

Restrictions in the head often show up as limitations in the tmj which then travel down the neck, affecting the shoulders, forelimbs, and hooves. This tension often rotates the ribs, directly influencing breathing, since the diaphragm attaches to the thoracic vertebrae, and can then create subtle organ restrictions.

One side of the body becomes shortened, forelimb loading becomes uneven, and the opposite hind leg adjusts to maintain balance, creating a diagonal compensation pattern.

In this horse, everything i felt from his restricted neck and tmj to rib and diaphragmatic tension, high low in his hooves etc correlates with his way of going.

Luckily his owner understands osteopathic work & is keen to start rebalancing & rehabilitating him gradually.

A head tilt is rarely an isolated issue

Because as always

It’s all connected 🙌

Grief

The pain we feel when we encounter loss can be unbearable. It’s heartbreaking, and it can deeply affect our physical and mental health.

I’ve been struggling since losing my little Ernie ( my little dog) But life goes on, and staying stuck in the grief does become toxic. We’re all different in how we deal with loss.

I did wallow but then for me to heal I had to feel the emotion fully and then I reminded myself to let it gently wash through my body. Acknowledge it. Accept it. Let it go.
It hasn’t completely gone it’s still a work in progress. I’ve been doing EFT and breathwork on myself, and those have helped me. It doesn’t mean I’m not still grieving of course I am. He was my companion for 15 years. My heart is still hurting.

We humans have strategies for how to carry and process grief.

But what about our horses?

How do they deal with loss?
Do they feel grief too?

I believe they do.

When horses lose a close companion by moving yards, death in the herd, or losing their owner it can deeply affect them. They may be seen fence walking, there appetite may drop, they may stand quietly with a dull, lost expression, or call out and search for the missing individual.

I’ve witnessed this first hand. I made sure one of the horses on a yard I used to be on was allowed to be with the deceased companion so he could accept what had happened. And I let my little Ernie be with his mum when she was passing, so he could also accept that process.

Grief is a natural process for humans and for horses.

Recognising that is the first step to offering them the care, patience, and support they may need.

Just know that horses/pets also experience grief/ loss the same as we do 🙏

My Little Ernie 💔

They say it’s best for them to go on a good day

Today was that day 🌈

My little Ernie has gone to be with his mum, he was wrapped in his blanket in my arms when he fell asleep for the last time 💔

He is no longer struggling.

Thank you to each & every one of you that always welcomed him onto your yard & even into your stable while I was treating your horse.

He came everywhere with me.
Came on hacks, came to the yard, slept in my bed, he even came into shops with me, visited clients … literally glued to me every day 💔

Structurally Sound

I think Iv written about this a few years ago but this new client has prompted me to try & bring awareness again.

Before little Ernie ( my dog) became poorly I went to see a new horse.

This client has kindly agreed for me to write this post to create awareness especially for the first time horse buyers. This lady is a first time horse buyer.

A horse can still work for you and school ok yet still be structurally unsound.
These horses compensate through tension, altered posture, and protective movement patterns.

Now we know not every horse is perfect but if we can start to notice the subtle changes before they get to the stage that’s in the picture, hopefully the horse world will change.

Soundness isn’t just about watching the legs move & the usual head bob it’s about how the entire framework supports that movement, weight bearing, and balance. When that framework is compromised the whole system compensates. If the structural integrity isn’t recognized something will eventually breakdown leading over time to ligament & tendon issues, secondary pain, muscle asymmetry, and performance/behavior issues.

In the picture you can clearly see this mare has pretty severe thoracic sling weakness & should not be ridden. Despite being sold as being ridden away. This mare was described as being competition fit!

The very prominent sharks fin wither is not normal neither despite it being common especially on thoroughbreds it’s often accompanied by a struggle to gain weight aswell. And despite pumping the food in they don’t gain. They can’t. This is a gut dysfunction which is usually accompanied by bodies like this. The feet reflect it too. They’re all part of the same system as one cannot function optimally if another is compromised. Hence why Tb’s are labelled for having ‘typical ‘ Tb feet. But that’s for another post.

You will often see shim pads, or anything that artificially “fills in” the hollows to make the saddle fit, yet the horse will still be structurally unsound. This mare came with pads to go under the saddle . A saddle that doesn’t fit!

In this instance padding only disguises the issue it doesn’t correct it and often makes it worse by the muscles losing stimulus that are responsible for lifting the ribcage and supporting the rider’s weight.

So rather than asking “Is my horse lame?” & only looking for the classic head bob ask:

Is my horse structurally capable, balanced, and comfortable enough to have a saddle correctly fitted & carry a rider?

In this case
This little mare is not structurally sound & in my personal opinion should not be ridden.

Healing her gut, for me, would be the first step

It’s always a whole horse approach & we should never isolate an issue because a symptom is simply the body’s way of showing where the imbalance has surfaced

🛑 Important Update 🛑

All appointments are currently on hold as my little Ernie is very poorly. Right now he needs my full attention.

I have also messaged everyone .

My regular clients who have been with me from day one I may still be able to come to you, as I know you will hold him while I do your horse.
Message me to discuss.

Please bear with me during this difficult time I’ll be in touch to reschedule as soon as I’m able.

Thank you all for your understanding and patience 🙏
