When the release hits and suddenly you’re holding up 600kg of trust💪🤣

Read more‼️

At full extension, the patella hooks over the medial trochlear ridge of the femur, supported by the medial patellar ligament. To move normally, that ligament must disengage smoothly.

In this case, the ligament is briefly catching before it releases, which is what creates the audible click as the hind limb reaches extension.

This pony has been previously underweight and underdeveloped. When adequate muscle support isn’t present, particularly through the quadriceps and hamstrings, the ligaments take on more strain than they’re designed to handle.

I’m now working closely with her owner to implement a structured rehabilitation plan including:

• Progressive strengthening exercises
• Controlled pole and hill work
• Targeted stretching
• Manual therapy support

The aim is to improve muscular support, reduce ligament strain, and encourage smoother patellar release.

I’ll be sharing her progress and breaking down how to properly support stifle function as we go.

A little update‼️

I’ll soon be starting one clinic day a week offering relaxation massage for humans.

Over the past year I’ve been helping horses move and feel better and now I’m expanding into supporting the people behind them too, along with anyone simply needing time to slow down and reset.

My focus will be nervous system support, deep relaxation and helping ease general tension that builds up in busy bodies.

If you’d like to be one of my first clinic clients, send me a message and I’ll add you to my priority list 🤍

Stay tuned for more information over the next few weeks.

Service Update 📢

All horses will begin with an Initial Consultation, where we assess their condition and create a treatment plan suited to their individual needs.

From there, sessions will fall into one of the following:

✨ Equine Relaxation Massage
✨ Equine Relaxation & Stretch Therapy
✨ Equine Myotherapy Treatment
✨ Equine Myotherapy + Stretch Therapy
✨ Equine Pre-Workout Massage

Each session includes a written report.

If booking multiple horses at the same location on the same day, each additional horse will receive $10 off the standard session price.

Thank you for your continued support 🤍
Please reach out if you have any questions when booking.
