After spending considerable time planning and publishing the 2026 training courses, I have also confirmed my participation in a 4-day (28-hour) advanced technical training course in Structural Osteopathy.

I was unable to attend the 2025 sessions, but I absolutely did not want to miss the 2026 sessions.

OBJECTIVES

• To know when to choose a structural technique.

• To refine your testing skills.

• To perfect your technique.

• To be able to use structural techniques effectively and gently.

Assessment will be conducted through quizzes, practical exercises, and oral questions.

It is a relatively significant financial investment since this week will take place in France (where the profession is extremely regulated with high standards), however, it is important for me not to rest on my laurels, to have an evaluation from other osteopaths, to be challenged, to be able to deliver quality content and above all to allow me to help and take great care of the horses entrusted to me. 🤲

Can your mare be in season at this period of the year?
YES
Can this lead to asymmetry?
YES
Can this impact performance?
ABSOLUTELY.
How can you see this?
The mare will be curved on one side and of one the hind legs will drag more specially in circles.

I have had the same dysfunctions on mares lately.

And I am adding that this type of dysfunction can make the mare more anxious (specially if she is naturally sensitive) or aggressive towards the herd ...

🎥 On this short video you can see the mare processing the release of the left ovary.

Ovaries are suspended by the broad ligament which is attached to ... the lumbar!

⚠️ Asymmetry is multi factorial, only a professional can confirm the origin of the issue.

I must admit that I am getting addicted to our hacks together … I have always loved that but I was not 100% confident and I never stayed not far from our place imagining the worst.

I am never without my phone but now Aquiles is safe when we are out I want to explore further. I have been living in the same place for 10 years but the lack of confidence always stopped me and there are many areas we did not go to together. That’s a shame!

Who knows maybe one day I will be doing endurance …

Do you go hacking too? How long for? Which pace?
Did you increase the distance over time?

In a month I will be back as exhibitor at the Horsemanship Hub - Horsemanship Showcase in Bury Farm!

I am currently taking inventory and what I can offer at the show. The miniatures 🍃 are always popular so I have prepared something a little bit different to show and this will be available to purchase during the weekend. 🎀

If you are interested in getting products let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly how many I need to bring. This will save you the shipping fees (and maybe more 😇)

The stock for the miniatures is fairly low.

I am looking forward to seeing people I already know and meeting new faces!

Where are we since my speech at the international meeting against hyperflexion in Paris and my article about hyperflexion two years ago?

Well, the thing is we still have a long way to go. Some of the recent events are the sad examples that these forms of abuse are still present at any level in every countries.

In my 4 hour workshop with Kat Layfield we will explore the physical and emotional impacts of correct and incorrect poll flexion on the horse, whate are the results from a survey conducted to gather opinion and perspective from a wide audience on the hyperflexion, what FEI say, focusing on anatomy, biomechanics of the neck and training, from both an osteopath and a trainers perspective.

Location: Uckfield, East Sussex
Date: 22nd of November.

I stand for the horse not for the sport.
