*IS YOUR HORSE EXPERIENCING SEASONAL CHANGES?*

As the seasons shift, our horses feel it just as much as we do β€” sometimes even more deeply. 🐴✨

There are many factors at this time of year that can affect their physical and emotional wellbeing:

πŸ’™ Temperature changes
🐴 Fewer daylight hours
πŸ’™Coat changes and clipping
🐴 Rugging
πŸ’™ Altered routines
🐴 Changes in the grazing and turnout availability
πŸ’™ Amount of exercise offered

You might notice your horse becoming a little more tense, reactive, or flat in their energy. These changes aren’t just behavioral β€” they can be a reflection of how their body is adapting to new conditions. Tight muscles, altered posture, or subtle changes in movement patterns can create discomfort that affects mood and connection.

Let’s remember that wellbeing is whole-body health: body, mind and spirit. 🌿 A little extra time, patience and care can go a long way in helping them feel their best as we move towards winter. 🍁

*ARE YOU GETTING THE MOST OUT OF TREATMENT?*

When making an appointment with your musculoskeletal practitioner, there are some things you can consider to maximise the benefits of treatment for your horse.

πŸ’™ WORMING & VACCINATION
Vaccination and worming should not be carried out in the 7 days prior to treatment. This gives their bodies chance to normalise after vaccination or worming.

πŸ’™ SADDLE FITTING
If you are having a saddle fitting at a similar time, treatment is best carried out beforehand. This is because the muscles down either side of the spine can expand following treatment.

πŸ’™ DENTAL APPOINTMENT
If you are also having a dental appointment for your horse, treatment is best carried out afterwards. This will help to relax the jaw & poll.

I hope this helps! πŸ₯°

*IS YOUR HORSE GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN E?*

I'm seeing several horses this summer with vitamin E deficiencies. Horses naturally obtain their vitamin E from fresh green material, predominantly grass, and with the prolonged dry summer we're experiencing, the grass is simply not there.

Vitamin E is used in nerve and muscle function; so as we increase the workload of our horses through the summer months, they require greater amounts of vitamin E. Many are simply not getting enough from their balancers alone.

Some of the symptoms being experienced are:
πŸ’™ Dry eye 'bogies'
🐴 Weeping eyes
πŸ’™ Sore, tense muscles
🐴 Slow recovery rates after performance
πŸ’™ Irritability & grumpiness
🐴 Dull coat
πŸ’™ Changes in hoof growth patterns

Horses may only show some of these symptoms.

Vitamin E deficiency can only be diagnosed by a vet and this is usually done via a blood test.

Talk to your vet or a qualified nutritionist to ensure that your horse is getting enough vitamin E. πŸ‘

On Friday, I was pleased to be accompanied by Kirsten Smith Veterinary Physiotherapy as I visited some of my lovely clients to show her a little about what chiropractic entails. I'm very much looking forward to being able to join Kirsten soon and gain a deeper understanding of the benefits of physiotherapy and how it can compliment chiropractic treatment.
