This month is and today is - the perfect reminder of why we do what we do!

Keeping pets happy, active and comfortable is about more than cuddles (though we love those too!) - it’s about supporting their long-term health, mobility and quality of life.

Whether it’s helping a senior dog move with confidence, rehabbing a post-injury cat, or keeping equine athletes strong and sound, every session is a step towards a healthier, happier life for our four-legged friends.

Celebrate your this month and if you need advice on keeping them moving safely and comfortably, you know where to find us!

This week we welcomed 50 horse owners to Forest Oaks Equestrian for an evening focused on equipment, welfare and performance.

It was such a valuable session exploring how bridles, saddles and bits can create pressure points, what current research tells us and how mouth and head anatomy plays a far bigger role than many of us might expect.

A huge thank you to Sally O'Hara Bit and Bridle Fitter for her practical insight into bit and bridle fitting, and to Nicky Brooks of Robinson Equine Vet & Dental Surgery for bringing an essential veterinary and dental perspective to the conversation

We’d also like to thank Ellie at Forest Oaks Equestrian for allowing us to use the fantastic facilities.
...And a special mention to Timone, who was incredibly well-behaved throughout, the perfect example of a relaxed and cooperative

Events like this are so important in helping owners make informed decisions that truly put horse comfort and welfare first.

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to such a thoughtful evening.

Every horse is an individual and considering every aspect of the horse’s care and routine makes all the difference in achieving lasting results. We're so thankful to be trusted with such incredible horses and to work alongside such supportive owners.

Thank you, Emily, for your lovely words 🤍

Meet Milo, who has recently competed at the with his young rider Carmen, performing brilliantly against much larger and more experienced .

Milo has regular to manage performance-related soreness. During a recent session, a change in his shape meant his saddle no longer fitted properly, but with quick work from his saddle fitter and follow-up physio treatment, he was soon back to his best.

Careful management from his owners supports Milo’s nutrition, hoof care and veterinary health, helping keep him a happy, healthy athlete. His rider also trains with Ellie McCarthy Dressage, helping monitor subtle movement changes in both pony and rider.

A great example of how a multi-disciplinary team helps keep our athletes comfortable and thriving.

It’s !

This week is a great opportunity to recognise not just pet sitters, but also dog walkers and pet care professionals who support animals day in, day out 💚

From an animal physiotherapy perspective, consistent routines, appropriate exercise and safe handling play a huge role in an animal’s physical wellbeing - particularly for pets with:
✔️ arthritis
✔️ previous injuries
✔️ neurological conditions
✔️ age-related stiffness

Those caring for pets on a regular basis are often the first to spot subtle changes - slower movement, reluctance to jump, altered gait or changes in behaviour. Early awareness can prevent small issues becoming long-term problems.

Physio-friendly tips for pet care professionals:
• Stick to the agreed exercise routine (more isn’t always better)
• Avoid encouraging jumping in and out of vehicles or on furniture
• Use harnesses and leads correctly
• Flag any changes in movement or behaviour to the owner.

Thank you to all the pet sitters, dog walkers and animal care professionals helping keep our animals safe, comfortable and moving well.

Did you know dental issues don’t just affect your pet’s mouth - they can impact posture, gait, and overall mobility too?
Pain or discomfort from teeth and gums can make pets reluctant to move, jump, or play and is often mistaken for stiffness, ageing or general lethargy. Sometimes physiotherapy isn’t the solution - identifying the real cause and knowing who to ask, whether your vet or a physiotherapist, is key to keeping your pet comfortable and healthy.

If you've noticed any changes in your pet’s movement or behaviour get in touch with us or your vet to find out what’s really going on!

Cold weather means horses need more forage - but extra hay can quickly add calories and slow weight loss. Soaking hay isn’t just about reducing sugar; it’s about reducing calories so you can feed enough for welfare while still helping your horse shed excess weight.

Only a calorie deficit causes weight loss. Low sugar alone won’t do it. If your overweight horse isn’t losing weight and you can’t reduce hay without affecting gut or mental health, try soaking for longer (up to 12 hours). Other strategies, like replacing some hay with straw, can help too.

If you’re unsure how best to manage your horse’s weight, get in touch. We’re happy to offer general guidance and, where needed, help you find an appropriately qualified nutritionist to support you further - so your horse stays both happy and healthy.
