We had a great day navigating through the woods and over the moor near Totley yesterday.

Pleased to see blue skies after a murky start and I think I got the hang of taking bearings...

Now I need to keep up the practice for if Zeph and I ever get out and about 🙃

Looking forward to doing something different tomorrow-I did a few Trec competitions with Finn back in the day and it's something I'd like to continue.

I haven't actually done any proper map or compass work since last March though, so I hope I don't hold the others up!

I'll be sure to take a few photos to share too - it's an area near where I used to walk when I lived in Macclesfield 😁

Hi Fans, Finn here!
The lady just wanted me to let the sponsorship application people know that she's done a shortlist and will be contacting everyone who applied next week

Meanwhile have a good weekend!

I didn't have far to travel for today's client, as Spotty lives on the track with the boys (and the rest of the herd)

He's quite a complex character and was lovely to work with as he provided very good feedback at all times.

He absolutely melted into the cranial and fascial techniques, but the most interesting bit was how he was very guarded around his right shoulder on the initial body check, but when I went to work on his left shoulder he promptly turned himself around and presented me with his right one! Smart pony.

I had a busy day down in Lancashire yesterday with these lovely lot.
Bella and Guinness really relaxed into the fascial release and the newer craniosacral techniques I'm currently studying. Blue benefitted from some deeper massage and mobilisations, whilst Pepper was a routine session with some core stability work at the end

Both Bella and Blue have moved yards since I last saw them and it was good to see them looking settled. Especially Bella who has been a bit poorly recently.

The boys would like to remind everyone that there is still time to apply for my sponsorship this year - final day to apply is Wednesday 11th March.

I'll then go through all the applications and update everyone once I've finalised things 😁

I caught up with Crystal and her owner yesterday and was pleased to see a lot of improvement in her comfort and movement.
She had already shown improvement after the first session, but these additional changes were due to her owner diligently doing her homework in between times.

The boys had their routine dental check today, luckily the heavy rain stopped just in time, but it was still rather blowy!

I choose to use a Vet for my horses, mainly because Finn had a lot of issues when I first got him and using sedation works well for him. He still has a couple of diastema, but Stuart was really pleased with the improvements since last September.

Zeph was very sleepy for a while afterwards, so I was able to use my Photizo red light therapy around his TMJs for some post dental care. Finn had the same, plus they both had some gentle jaw, hyoid and poll work.

This is why I chose to study with Elisse and Angie at EQ Therapeutics
There is so much knowledge sharing and attention to detail in the training. I'm working through Level 2, excited for the practical days in June 🇨🇦

The sphenoid bone is one of the true keystones of the cranium in both horses and humans.

It articulates with 12 other cranial bones, forming a central structural hub. Within it sits the sella turcica, a saddle-shaped depression that houses the pituitary gland.

The pituitary regulates growth, metabolism, stress response, and body composition through hormones such as ACTH. ACTH stimulates cortisol production from the adrenal glands, influencing:

* Metabolic regulation
* Tissue adaptation
* Stress physiology

That is a significant responsibility for one centrally positioned bone. If this region is compacted or compressed, the mechanical environment surrounding the pituitary changes. In humans, cranial dysfunction has at times been mistaken for primary metabolic pathology.

So the question becomes:

Are we always looking far enough upstream in horses presenting with metabolic patterns?

Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. The cranium is not exempt from that rule.

For those in our Craniosacral Certification programs, this is why precision at the SBS matters. For those considering joining us, this is the level of integration we train.

Daylight at 5:43pm??!! 🤯
We're getting there!!

24/02/2026

Edited to add - the offer has been extended to the beginning of March, and with the sudden increase in daylight up north I've started my boys on it now.

I'm reposting this to let people know there's a few days left of their BOGOF on herbal detox in February.
I first tried Hilton Herbs in 2024 and was really pleased with the results and have just stocked up for spring.

A little while ago I posted about the effects of shedding and seasonal changes on horses, and that I was going to try out a herbal detox for my boys.

I'm pleased to report that the herbs have helped - Finn is more spritely and less grumpy, and little Zeph is no longer sad. In fact, he's back to being full of beans and wanting to show off on his winner's podium 😁
It's not too late to try your horses on a detox program and this is what I'm using:

Other herbal remedies are available, including Ron Fields Remount and Trinity Consultants L94.
