Huge welcome to the Flying Hooves family for this big lad, James 🥰 love this screenshot, he looks like he is saying “hi”, give him a big hi back in the comments!

James had his first treatment today, followed by a static bit and bridle comfort check ♥️

Tension through the right subclavian coincided with tension in the left pectorals and brachialis, coupled with a slight flare to the left lateral hoof wall suggests he has been loading more weight through the left fore and hiking up the right shoulder.

Some lovely releases later and James was feeling much happier 🙌

Then onto his bridle. The browband was slightly too tight, which was causing the headpiece to pull forwards and tip backwards creating a pressure point at the back of the poll. A simple swap to a longer browband got rid of this issue 🥰

James has a small mouth, not much room for a bit! Swapping him from a thick Neue Schule transangled eggbutt to the thinner, non collapsing, AK rotary D ring gives him more room for his tongue. This will help him swallow easier, thereby relaxing the tongue, jaw and hyoid and continuing the relaxation to the poll and through the rest of the body. It was lovely to see him stop fussing with the bit and relax into it 🫶

As James is not being ridden at the moment, we are trying the bit out on long lines and working towards introducing some raised poles to mobilise and elevate 😊

Well done today James, you were brilliant! And an absolutely gorgeous gentleman 🫶

Morning everyone, just to say visits going ahead as planned. I’ve got heat & massage pads if needed. Will use your horse’s blanket to keep the parts of them covered I’m not working on.
Trot ups may be omitted as ground conditions dictate ♥️

What exciting news was I sitting on? 🤭

Now the work behind the scenes has (almost) finished, I am excited to tell you all your reports etc will now be coming from Equicantis!

What does this mean for you?

💫 Access to a fantastic exercise prescription library 😍 we can build a comprehensive bespoke exercise plan using professional videos. This is going to be a game changer!

💫 Easier to understand reports, glossary of terms, diagrams optional, in fact all report fields optional! Just want basic session notes? No problem! Want a full blown report including diagrams? No problem!

💫 Need a special report for your vet or insurance? Equicantis has this covered, we can add / remove / science up the information as needed in a duplicate report.

💫 The invoicing and appointment confirmations / reminders systems won't overly change for you, just look out for the email suffixes and set as a trusted contact to your inbox if they are rejected.

💫 Your horse's location will be on the confirmations, a reminder to let me know you have moved!

💫 Links to your reports meaning you can download over wifi rather than getting a bulky PDF using up storage space and data. Still want a PDF? No problem, Equicantis can send this too.

💫 No need for you to download an app, contact me the same way you always have

What does this mean for me?

💜 A fantastic dashboard tracking appointments - upcoming, needing confirmation, still to book in - outstanding invoices, reminders of reports to do, the list goes on...

💜 Automatic upload of onboarding forms

💜 Full invoicing and payment reports

💜 The ability to amend exercise titles, build bespoke plans, add info for sets and reps per week, add notes specifically for your horse

💜 Access to support, webinars, business support

➡️ Here's where I need your help! As of the 8th Jan Cavanti will switch off and you will be moved onto Equicantis. If you have an appointment booked in February and you do not get confirmation, please shout very loudly!! 🧏‍♀️

Deciding which software provider to join forces with has been a huge process, but choosing Equicantis is the right fit, and it is one that is going to allow Flying Hooves to take things to the next level!

A post for all my followers and something I want to do more of this year… Reading 📖

My last book of 2025, finished yesterday.

Interesting topic… psychic lady on a plane makes predictions about how and when passengers will die. The tale then follows her backstory and the ongoing stories of a few key passengers 😱

The book was ok, but I can’t say I “liked” it. I actually don’t really know what to say about it. Unfortunately the story will stick with me as it’s such a horrible concept. Recommend if you want to be left contemplating life’s plan lol
Didn’t like the psychic lady, very whiny. Liked the other main characters, but could have done more with some of them.

What are you all reading at the moment?

Written by the author of Big Little Lies, don’t know if any of you have seen the TV series with Nicole Kidman? That is worth a watch!

Happy New Year! The year of the horse. I wanted to write something inspirational and inspiring but words fail me. So h...

Happy New Year! The year of the horse. I wanted to write something inspirational and inspiring but words fail me. So here's to us, the horse owners whose main goal is currently keeping their horse alive (like me), the sensible people among us who don't have a horse, the all-in competitors (your commitment is inspiring and we are still bewildered how you keep your horse so clean and fit), and all of the inbetweeners... Cheers! 🥂

As always, your support is truly incredible and I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do ❤️🐴

🎶 This is cool! My 2025 wrapped up in the music that’s accompanied me along the way ♥️ 🚗

Top artist ♥️ of course, my favourite band, Shinedown

Top album, went to see this band and really needed to know the lyrics to their new album so I could badly sing along 😂 Duran Duran’s Danse Macabre

Top song 🥰 so resonates. Upside down and slightly weird… have you met me? 😂 Symptom of Being Human by Shinedown of course

Thanks Apple Music ♥️ 🎶

Don’t tell the IT Dept his band isn’t listed 🤫 but, they’d take the spot for band most seen live 😍

💖 Sarah

PS bit annoying it hasn’t transferred the soundtrack, I guess that’s something to do with copyright 🤷‍♀️

Bobby finally got to try his very own Henry James Saddlery bridle on for Christmas ♥️

The browband is made with Swarovski crystals in alternating Vintage Rose and Denim Blue.

The rose matches the LeMieux rose stirrups perfectly and the blue will (hopefully) match the piping on his Peewee Saddlery saddle when we get it.

I think he looks super smart but then I am biased 😍

Merry Christmas Bob! 😘
