With both farrier and vet visits in one week, ‘twas a lot in the life of Morgana!
Like us, horses can build a lot of tension in their neck and shoulders. Lovely to be able to offer her some gentle, supportive fascia release this afternoon 💖

Client wise I’m technically full now until 2026, I’ll be in touch with everyone who I believe to be due appointments in November ASAP. If you’ve not heard from me by end of next week and can’t wait until December please message me and I will make sure I fit you in 🙏

🗓️ Note for your diary 15th NOVEMBER will be the next winter workshop, this time focusing on acupressure first aid - calming points, colic points and shock points you can use in an emergency whilst waiting for the vet ⛑️

….And following on from the last post we had our vet check today and she is really pleased with her 💖
So lucky to have such understanding vets as Simon Constable Equine Vets , would never have thought she’d ever tolerate a full blown examination but tolerate she did (although bum and neck are still no go areas and a work in progress!). Huge improvement over the last year, considering where we started from ❤️

🥰 VANITY VERSUS LONGEVITY 🥰

Anyone else have a farrier who has a "Buddha” like philosophy 🧘‍♂️?

Had a long discussion with mine yesterday about concerns I have for my mare. The main conclusion was yes, we could make her look "pretty" but at what cost? As she is - she is happy, probably as sound as she can ever be, and by leaving her as she is we are hopefully giving her the best chance of a longer future. To make changes could highly compromise that future.

Most, I would suggest all!, of our horses are compromised in some way. This means they may not look perfect, they may not move perfectly. But as long as their basic needs are met, they are not in severe pain, checked by a VET and what you ask of them is within their limits, often that really does not matter.
For a short time I had fallen into the trap of feeling judged because my mare isn't perfect. I wanted her to be different to keep other people from thinking I am a terrible horse owner (and in reality I am sure no one actually does think that, everyone is having their own challenges!). To have given in to those feelings I was highly likely to be shortening our precious time together.

It's important not to judge owners because we never know the full story as to why a horse looks / moves as they do. And this is exactly why it is vital as a bodyworker that we know that complete story before suggesting we make any changes to a horse ❤❤

A great introduction to the 5 Elements from my teacher Susan of Elemental Acupressure 🙂

Also still not too late to join in Elemental Acupressure’s special event this week. Lots of inspiring stories of how knowledge of the 5 Elements has transformed students and the animals in their care. ❤️

In this week of EVERYTHING Five Elements what a perfect time to have this podcast episode drop!
https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thegroundedcommunicator/episodes/Understanding-the-Five-Element-Theory-with-Susan-Tenney-e39jotl

I have done tons of podcast episodes over the years but this one might be one of my best. If you are curious about how the Five Element patterns influence all aspects of health and behavior listen to this on your next drive. Or better yet, wait until you get home so you can take notes 🤣

Wanting to see how to integrate all of these ideas and insights into your work and play with animals? It is not too late to join our event this week. We'll have replays up for the Monday and Wednesday presentation and you can come live to Friday!

Fascia!

First winter coat day of the season for both of us 💨☔️ Nearly got to our target of Bonfire Night before we gave in!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Intro to Acupressure workshop today, it was literally standing room only! It was the first time running a shortened version of the full day workshop, and I’ll be honest it was a lot to pack in to a couple of hours. I’m grateful to these horse lovers who are supporting the early versions of what will undoubtedly be bigger and better as I gain experience. The horses as always were stars, thank you to Natalie for allowing us to use the East Liverpool RDA facilities and to Nicola Stuart for giving up her afternoon to supervise us (I didn’t over run by too much 🙈)

🇯🇵 TEISHIN ACUPRESSURE 🇯🇵

I’m finding I’m using the Teishin tool more and more. Whilst initially I focused on successfully using it for musculoskeletal work, almost akin to the western acupuncture approach used by most vets, I’m now drawn to using it during those more general 5 Element based acupressure sessions where I’m aware a horse needs a little more help.
Teishin is an energetic tool and I just love the feeling and focus I get when using it, and importantly the horses are loving it too 😍

So much research coming through that correlates with what East Asian Medicine has been saying for Millennia 🤔

🫁✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱!✨

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱:
“Is the lung part of a continuous fascial-organ system that communicates with the rest of the body?”

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:
*Hyaluronic acid (HA) formed a seamless network through all lung compartments, connecting with vessel walls and nerve sheaths linking directly to the global fascial system.

*Tiny airborne carbon particles travelled through this connective network — inside and beyond the lungs!

*Mouse lungs showed similar organization but lacked HA in alveolar walls, a subtle species difference in fascial architecture.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
The study shows that interstitial spaces are communication highways between organs; pathways through which inflammation, infection or cancer may spread (even hinting at a fascial link between the lung and brain).

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀:
Every breath , movement and touch transmits force through this HA-rich matrix — shaping physiology, immunity & health.

🧠 “𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 — 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 — 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗮.”
