Happy Sunday Everyone 🐎 These past 2 weeks have been jam packed with learning, work and play. I have travelled approx 2,400km during this time which is why you haven't heard from me 😁

Here is a snapshot of what I have been up to!

🐎 Attending a 2 day clinic in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW with UK Equine Physiotherapist, Yasmin Stuart.
🐎 3 day Hunter Valley trip working with just some of equine clients.
🏖 A quick couple of days of beach time for birthday celebrations.
🐎 A few days servicing some of my equine clients in Tamworth in preparation for upcoming competitions or post competition days.
🐎 2 day trip to the North West servicing the equine community in various locations.

So to say the least I've been busy and have loved every minute of it. I can't wait to share with you what I have learnt with Yasmin. I look forward to hearing how your horses are going 🐴 Have a great week 🙌 ♥️

They say a photo can say a thousand words.....this is one of these moments! Let me introduce you to one of my clients, Oscar and London 🐎

Behind every performance horse is a cycle of care that goes far beyond what you see in the arena or playing field. It's nutrition, training, farriery, veterinary support and of course BODYWORK!

I've said this before, bodywork is not a luxury. It's part of the responsibility you take on for your horse when you ask them to perform and give you their best. When you look closer at your horse, you'll start to see what they've been managing for you 😉

My work is not just about massaging tight muscles. I'm looking at how your horse moves and how it manages "force" through their whole body. Every step your horse takes creates a "force" for their body to absorb and redirect. If something isn't balanced that "force" will show up as tension somewhere else.

If you have any questions, just give me a shout. I work with a wide range of horses from 9 hands to 19 hands covering all types of disciplines. Photo provided by owner.

Thank you to Scone and District Pony Club for the invite to attend their Pony Club Rally Day 🙏

Everyone was keen to get involved in the carrot stretch exercises and hear how they can help their horse 🐎.

I love sharing my knowledge and my passion for bodywork. This work 💯 fills my cup. Photo courtesy of Bec White

This month I have worked with my regular and some new clients in the areas of Tamworth, Boggabri and Hunter Valley regions. They have ranged from private properties, trainer establishments, agistment centres and equestrian riding centre, covering a wide range of disciplines.

My bodywork sessions are tailored to the individual horse, as each horse is unique depending on their body, history of injuries, workload, the rider's biomechanics and what the horse is presenting when being ridden.

Bodywork is not necessarily about "fixing one particular issue or body part ". It's about improving communication right across the horse's entire body and mind, so the horse can perform at their best in their current condition.

Here are just a few of the things my hands on approach can feel and achieve:

🐎 Quieten the sympathetic nervous system (flight or fight) to support emotional safety throughout the session.

🐎 Feel the fascial glide or restriction and encourage softness.

🐎 Sense a subtle brace or yielding and establish a sense of trust, so the horse can just "let it go".

If this sounds like what you could be looking for then send me (Sarah) a message or call, text me on 0427 676 226.

I work in Tamworth, Boggabri and the Hunter Valley regions and in between these regions every month 😊.

Best of luck to all competitors.

Good Morning, dawn is just about to break as I head down to the Hunter Valley to see my clients in the Singleton and Maitland Vale region for the next 3 days 🐎🥰

What a fantastic webinar hosted and facilitated by Yogi Sharp (The Equine Documentalist) and presented by Dr Kevin Haussler (Veterinary Compendium).

I've been talking about this very topic (horses adopting compensating movement patterns) this month with a few of my clients. So perfect timing for a deeper dive into this area.

This webinar covered how horses adapt to pain, weakness, instability and restriction. How these short term survival strategies can evolve into long term performance and soundness problems.

Loved it 🙏🐎🥰

I'm back working with heavy horses again with Elle and Ruby in my home town of Tamworth.

Elle and Ruby are preparing for their show season. Both mare's have had time off. They needed a bodywork session so their movement became more fluid, co-ordinated and effortless once again.
