Another day, another bunch of flowers from a beautiful friend and client.

It’s no lie that despite being 3 months on from Dad, it’s a massive struggle daily for me, however working with you and your horses really does keep my mind focused and I try and keep up with Vet appts and progress etc.

So many new clients in April that have finally got long term plans and have the ability now to truly understand what we are doing and why we are doing it.

I’m having the bank holiday weekend off as time spent away from work is as beneficial as being there.

Have a wonderful bank holiday with your Equine Friends.

Apparently I’ve developed a bit of a reputation…

If it’s an ex-racehorse or a thoroughbred there’s a fair chance it’ll find its way into my working life sooner or later !!!
Not complaining though, they do keep life interesting, keep me on my toes, and definitely come with plenty of personality, but above all have the biggest hearts if you choose to take your time and understand them.
Safe to say I might be becoming that equine practitioner… the one for the ex-racers 😅

With the unfortunate rise in Equine Influenza across the UK, Biosecurity for professionals between yards is of huge importance.
LUCKILY I’ve not had to change anything I do, as for sooooo many years now I’ve been wearing clean overalls or coats between every yard and Safe4 - The Disinfectant Solution for my kit and boots etc.
Having worked in Equine welfare you realise how many easily transmissible pathogens exist out there and I for one never wanted to put your horses at any risk.
In a world of matchy matchy, I’ve always preferred functional not fashionable for your horses health and welfare. 🙌
let’s hope that with the huge increase in everyone being so careful the current outbreak eases quickly 🤞
If you have any concerns for your horses health the please make your Vet your first phone call 🙏

Being different is a bit of a super power in my world. I love it when people want to stand out from the crowd and stand up for what they believe in for the greater good of the horse and its welfare.
Be that Black Sheep and stand proud!!

Please remain vigilant and if you feel your horse is unwell please contact your Vet’s promptly 🙌
I will continue my clean overalls/coats between each yard I visit alongside using Safe4 - The Disinfectant Solution on footwear and equipment!

What do you get when we work together?

So, most of you understand my ethos and goal when working with your horses, but what do I do to support you and your horses? How much positive impact can I have on you both?

SUPPORT - you can always rely on continued ongoing support from me following an assessment or treatment. This may include leasing with your vet or farrier or if your simply looking for an unbiased professional opinion on the welfare of your horse.

QUALITY - I have trained with and alongside the highest level therapeutic providers in the UK and the world, so you can expect to have your horse to be assessed by someone that is highly trained with extensive practical and theoretical experience. I can assure you that no stone will be left unturned with your horse!

ONGOING MANAGEMENT - I will provide you with ongoing management advice to keep your horses as comfortable and healthy as possible. This includes targeted stretching, training plans, but also external factors that maybe affecting them etc...

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS - Those that know me know that I love teaching and passing on my knowledge if I can. If you have a question then please just ask and I will do my best. If I don't have the answer then you can guarantee that I will know someone who does.

So, all I all I take pride at being in your professional team for your horses. Your horses welfare is personal to me, and I will ALWAYS strive at putting the needs of your horses first 😉😉

Days like today remind me why I do what I do.
A full day welcoming new equine clients and putting the Sleip Gait Analysis to work.
Digging deeper, asking better questions, and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface. It’s never just about what you see in the moment, it’s about understanding the whole picture.

More and more, I’m being asked to consult on horses that have hit stumbling blocks with their training or demeanor.

When progress stalls, when answers aren’t clear, and when horse and rider need a long-term, sustainable way forward for functionality and longevity, that’s where the real work begins.

There’s nothing better than helping create clarity, direction, and solutions that actually last. Quiet progress, built on the right foundations, every single time.
