Throughout this year we have been having a lot of drama with the page behind the scenes. We kept it working as best we could, but have come to the decision to start over with a new page.

It was a tough decision to do this but the glitches we have been trying to work through are becoming too problematic, and despite best efforts and endless scrolling through the help pages we have not been able to overcome these issues.

Please continue to show you support by heading over and following the new page;

Shout out and congratulations to Alyssa and her pony Morefair Rhyder for being awarded with the Overall Winner of Elementary Pony Champion Competitive class at the Geraldton Combined Equestrian Club Dressage Championships that was held in August!!!

Alyssa and her mum Toni send me this beautiful email to thank me as I had not been present for the awards presentation.

"We would personally like to thank you and In Balance Equestrian for your very very generous sponsorship of 2025 Geraldton Combined Equestrian Club (GCEC) Dressage Championship Event, plus numerous subsequent events that you sponsor.

Without sponsors such as yourselves, events like this would not be possible. Again, we are personally sincerely grateful for all your support of this event.

Alyssa and her pony Morefair Rhyder were extremely lucky to have been awarded with Overall Winner of Elementary Pony Champion Competitive class for which you sponsored, with a beautiful rug.

We are truly grateful for everything that comes our way and especially the sponsorship and support from wonderful companies like yourselves."

I choose to sponsor events so that I can give back to the equestrian community, which is rewarding in itself, but receiving such kind messages and sincere thanks makes it all the more rewarding!

Thank you for your kind words Alyssa and Toni, and congratulations again to you Alyssa. This win is a testament to the hard work and dedication you’ve put in, you should be very proud of what you have achieved!

A true chiropractic adjustment is more than just a “crack”

- Specific contact point
- Specific practitioner positioning
- Specific line of correction

➡️ All working together to reduce the risk of injury to your horse, whilst restoring optimal joint function.

It takes years of training and a deep understanding of equine joints to influence with precision.

What is chiropractic?

In the horse industry, the term chiropractic gets thrown around a lot… and often incorrectly.

Chiropractic is often thought of simplistically as joint manipulation. BUT, not all joint manipulation is chiropractic AND chiropractic is not just joint manipulation!

Joint manipulation is a broader technique used by various professionals, aimed at restoring motion to a joint that is not moving optimally.

However, a chiropractic adjustment is a precise, evidence-informed technique aimed at improving both joint function and the nervous system’s control of movement.

Or, in other words; joint manipulation looks at the biomechanical perspective of a joint not moving the way it is supposed to. Whilst the chiropractic adjustment works from a biomechanical perspective as well as a functional neurology perspective.

A 2022 systematic review in ‘Frontiers in Neurology’ found evidence that chiropractic spinal adjustments affect sensorimotor integration - how the brain processes movement and balance. This systematic review supported that chiropractic adjustments do not simply “free up” joints, but also act as significant modulators of the brain’s control over movement and body awareness. These neuroplastic effects may contribute to both improved motor function and pain perception.

Yes, it’s a lot to get your around!!!

Hence why Chiropractors spend so many years at university perfecting the skill of the adjustment and learning the complexities of anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology and biomechanics.

Because of the deep understanding of the adjustment and its impacts on the body, Chiropractors can use a broad range of adjustment styles depending on what they are looking to achieve.

Chiropractic adjustment is not just about making a joint ‘crack’, it is about influencing the system as a whole to restore optimal biomechanical function.

With our horses, it is incredible that owners have such a range of choices of different therapies they can opt for.

However, it is important to have some understanding of what those different options are, what professionals can apply what types of therapies, and how that therapy aims to influence the horse’s body.

In the human health care model, it is about informed decision making and informed consent - let’s bring that into the equine health care model too!

We love hearing feedback from clients, as well as from their support team which is why this feedback was so great to receive from Gloria's trainer Hannah.

If your horse isn't feeling supple through their body and it's impacting their work, get in contact and book in a Chiropractic appointment with Dr. Bec!

An important message to wrap up Women’s Health Week;

Be Kind to Your Mind!!!

According to mentalhealth.org, women report higher stress levels than compared to men, with many women reporting their stress levels as ‘very high’. Which makes sense given we have already discussed this week that women tend to be juggling multiple roles and the various responsibilities that came with each role, plus have the tendency to put their own needs aside.

Combine this with the fact that women have a tendency to internalise their stress rather than outwardly express these emotions - which means we have a large population of women potentially suffering in silence.

Chronic stress on the body is a well-known health risk. It can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, digestive upset, and even has well-established links with pain perception and intensity.

So, knowing these things, let’s please choose kindness!
Kindness to yourself!
Kindness to one another!

Be Empowered!

As mentioned earlier this week, many women have a tendency to put their own needs aside. Dr Bec advocates to change that!

As women, we tend to put other needs ahead of our own needs - whether that is work commitments, family commitments, or yes, even the needs of our animals!

Horse riders, we’re talking to you...

Does your horse get chiro or bodywork, yet you ignore your own body?

Let’s not forget the mums; do you spend all day looking after the family but feel like nobody is looking out for you?

From pain to power - you deserve to take some time to look after yourself, and feel the empowering difference this can make to your life!

Most of us know that cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of fatality.

However, what you may not know is that according to Heart Foundation women are less likely to receive treatment for heart attacks and angina (chest pain) and often experience longer delays in receiving life-saving interventions than compared to men.

Another less commonly known fact is that whilst men initially have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, after menopause women experience a rapid increase in the prevalence of heart disease, eventually surpassing men.

Two of the easiest ways to live heart smart is to maintain an active lifestyle, and consume a healthy diet that contains a variety of fruits and vegetables with minimal consumption of processed foods and sugars.

Screening for blood pressure is an easy and effective way to monitor heart health. Whilst this is generally considered to be something you GP will manage screening for, you might be interested to learn that Dr Bec includes blood pressure screening in all initial appointments and re-examinations - it might just save a life!

Gender bias still exists. Yes, times are changing, but unfortunately the sad truth is that gender bias does still exist... and may even impact on a females health care.

Women are encouraged to find health care practitioners who will provide them with evidence based care and give them the time they deserve to ask questions and feel HEARD. Thankfully, many GP’s and health care providers now advertise if they have a special interest in women’s health, so women can feel more empowered in choosing a health care provider to suit their individual needs.

Whilst Dr Bec does not have any further training in women’s health, she feels privileged to work with so many extraordinary female patients and enjoys being able to provide devoted time to their wellness needs.
