🍾🥳 Such a great time at the Winter Dressage Championships! 🥳🍾

I was kept busy behind the scenes treating my clients’ horses — helping them stay relaxed, supple, and preparing their muscles so they were ready to perform at their best. It’s always so rewarding to be part of their journey and see them go on to do so well in the arena. 🏆

I enjoyed catching up with some familiar faces, and the standard of riding was incredible — some seriously smart combinations out there ✨

The Petplan Championship was also in full swing, and it was so lovely to see such a variety of horses all coming together to take part. What a brilliant atmosphere all round! 💫

🐎 Can I see your horse move first? 🐎

Before starting any massage, watching your horse move is so important. It shows things we can’t always see when they’re standing still. Here’s what we’re looking for:

🤔 Is one side working more than the other?

👣 Are their steps shorter than usual?

🩰 How freely are their joints moving?

🏋🏼‍♀️ Are they shifting weight or avoiding something?

🤸🏼‍♂️ How is their posture and balance?

By watching them move, we can see where there’s tension, what’s overworking, and what’s not being used enough. This helps us give a treatment that’s really suited to your horse.

Just a few minutes of movement can make a big difference 💛

🎉 A positive start for a successful year 🎉

Equine massage therapy supports the management, maintenance, and improvement of your horse’s musculoskeletal health. Taking a planned, proactive approach can help support comfort, movement and overall wellbeing — rather than waiting for an issue to arise.
Each session is individually tailored, with careful consideration given to:
🏋🏼‍♀️ Your horse’s current workload
🏅 Performance or training goals
🩻 Previous and relevant medical history (working alongside veterinary guidance where appropriate)
Massage programmes are designed to complement existing care and can be adapted as your horse’s needs change throughout the year.
Plan support — don’t wait for a problem.

🗓 Limited spaces available for January.

🩺🤩 How I can help as a massage therapist following veterinary treatments 🤩🩺

🩺Veterinary treatment addresses the underlying cause of an issue. However, once the primary problem has been resolved, the horse’s body still needs support to recover from the compensatory patterns developed during pain or discomfort.

🚑When a horse is sore, it adapts its movement to protect the affected area. Over time, these compensations can lead to muscular tension, imbalance, and secondary discomfort elsewhere in the body.

🪄 Equine massage plays a key role in releasing tension, restoring muscular balance, and encouraging correct movement patterns. This supports veterinary treatment and helps reduce the risk of ongoing or future issues.

In summary:
• Your vet treats the cause 🩺
• Your equine massage therapist (me 🤓) addresses the consequences 👏🏼
Together, we support long-term soundness and wellbeing. 🪄

Two legends, one extraordinary legacy 🖤🖤

We will cherish the wonderful memories these two horses gave us all. I was lucky enough not only to watch them in competition and at the London 2012 Olympic Games but also have cuddles with them at their home.

Thank you Carl, Charlotte and everyone involved with the success of these two superstars 🖤💫

❄️ Exercising horses in cold weather ❄️

❄️ As the temperatures are starting to drop you may notice some changes in your horses behaviour or way of going. Cooler muscles are less elastic making them more prone to injury.

❄️ It’s very important to make sure your horse is warmed up properly before you increase the intensity of the work, 10-20 minutes of walking and gentle trotting is perfect to warm the muscles. Recovery time may be longer due to reduced circulation so it’s super important to make sure you cool down as well as you warmed up!

❄️Use exercise sheets as necessary to help those muscles warm up

❄️ Massage and stretching is also very effective at maintaining your horses suppleness
