🐾 Beautiful, happy Madison! 😊💖

This sweet girl has come such a long way! A few months ago, she underwent an FHNO (femoral head and neck osteotomy) and faced some tough challenges—just getting through daily activities was a struggle, and she wasn’t her usual happy self.

Fast forward to today, and Madison is absolutely thriving! 🌊🐶 She’s running around, enjoying beach trips, and back to her bright, joyful personality.

With the help of an extensive rehab program — including underwater treadmill therapy (UWTM) — she’s made incredible progress in her muscle strength, fitness, weight management, and overall stamina.

So proud of this girl and how far she’s come! 💪❤️🐾

🐴✨ It’s been a busy few weeks — and such a rewarding one!

From completing numerous rider assessments to meeting new clients and continuing treatments with my monthly and bi-weekly patients, it’s been an incredible time filled with progress and positivity.

I’m so proud of how far many of my equine patients have come — and even more inspired by the dedication and commitment of their owners. 🥰

Feeling very grateful to be part of each horse’s journey and to see the hard work paying off! 💪🐎💖

Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

Super proud of this special boy and his dedicated owner

Saw him 4 weeks ago with some issues ( not major) but just needed a kick start back into work.

Gave his owner my 4 week program ( which all my clients know I dish out very quickly to start getting progress) and the difference is amazing

Shamik suffers from locking stifles and occurs often.
Our aim was to strengthen up his HQ (especially quads), improve top line, improve posture (as he always stood camped out to compensate) and weight control

As my clients know, the 4 week program isn't easy and you will only get out what you put in. And did Abi proof it right. The difference in his muscle development, posture, core activation and overall behavior is amazing 👏
He has only locked his stifle 2x in the past 4 weeks which is so awesome to hear comparing when it happened more regularly.

Pitty I don't have before and after photos ( which I'm kicking myself for) but can't wait to see these two bloom.
He has a saddle fitting wnct week and abi will now start riding after nearly 3 months of not being able to ride due to issues

Super super proud 🥰
