I’ve sat here staring at this screen for some time, trying to figure out how to actually say this...

It is with a lot of sadness and frustration, that I unfortunately have to stop offering massage services to all my lovely clients.

Due to personal health reasons I have had to make the heart breaking decision to step back and will no longer be able to offer treatments. I am so grateful for the continued support from my wonderful and loyal clients. I have made so many friends and worked with so many beautiful and talented animals along the way, it has truly been incredible with many rewarding and humbling experiences. It hasn’t been an easy road, I have poured my blood, sweat and tears into growing a reputation and to have to let it all go completely before I am ready to is not something I had anticipated or prepared for.

Every aspect of my business has become a passion for me, and it's going to be so hard to let my dream job go and find anything even close to replacing it.

To my family and to my friends who have supported me throughout this journey, and who are supporting me through this heartbreaking time, I honestly cannot thank you all enough ❤️

These are just a fraction of my favourite moments captured through the journey I've been on the last 8 years 🐴

We premiere the music video by Chicken and the Egg, a bombastic, super-charged, seventies-inspired country-funk track, by Ben Mastwyk and The Millions.

Before backing your youngster please read -

A horse ages roughly 3 times faster than a human.

So a 90 year old human is a 30 year old horse. Both very old, usually arthritic, don’t have many of their original teeth left, and very likely retired and enjoying the finer things in life.

A 25 year old horse is a 75 year old human. Still works so far.

A 20 year old horse is a 60 year old human. At that point where the body doesn’t work like it use to but the brain is all there and wants to be active.

A 13 year old horse is a 39 year old human. Middle aged, prime of their life where their knowledge and physical ability are about equal.

So let’s get down to the babies and work our way up.

A 3 year old horse is a 9 year old child. A child. Not ready for work by a long stretch. We have moved past sending children down the mines.

A 4 year old horse is a 12 year old child. Often will do odd jobs for pocket money, maybe a paper round, mowing lawns etc. Basically a 4 yo horse can start a bit of light work to earn their keep.

A 5 year old horse is a 15 year old teenager. Think they know it all, cocky, and ready to up their work and responsibilities. Still quite weak and not fully developed so shouldn’t be at their physical limit but can start building strength.

A 6 year old horse is an 18 year old human. An adult. Ready to work hard.

Pushing your youngster too hard too young will result in failure of many body parts. Joints, tendons, ligaments as well as their brains. Waiting one year at the beginning can give a horse another 10 years of useful working life. Be patient with your pride and joy!
