Such a loss of two horses that got the world talking about dressage and the dancing horses!

Sleep well Blueberry and Uti, two of the greatest horses of our generation. 🕊️

It is with immense sadness that we have said goodbye to Valegro and Uthopia and without question, this is a loss that just feels hard to comprehend.

Trying to write a tribute to these two horses feels harder than I imagined. The yard just doesn’t feel the same without them, there is an emptiness in the air.

Valegro and Uthopia did more than win medals and write history, they gave our sport a golden era. They both showed that greatness can be gentle, sensitive and harmonious and they made a nation proud and inspired so many.

Being part of their journey will always remain one of my proudest achievements and the whole team and myself are deeply grateful for the joy they gave to us at home but also to their fans around the world.

Their entire lives ran in parallel; they travelled to the shows side by side, lived in neighbouring stables, grazed in the same fields and retired together. Their bond and companionship were absolute.

As life as old boys advanced, so too did the health challenges, so allowing them to leave this world together was the final act of loyalty and dignity I felt I could give them, honouring a partnership that had never been separated in life.

They leave behind a huge void, the yard has changed forever and so have we. They were our family and I will love and miss them always.

The impact they had will remain but sadly, we don’t get to keep horses forever. We only get to carry what they leave inside us. And these two left us so much.

Pillar 5: Recovery & Rest

🌿 Stronger Through Rest

Muscles rebuild and adapt when given time to recover.

✨ Rest days are as important as training days.
✨ Massage, stretching, and light work support tissue repair.
✨ Structured downtime = reduced risk of overuse injuries.

➡️ Rest isn’t laziness—it’s strategy.

These 5 pillars—Movement, Bodywork & Care, Nutrition, Assessments & Care, and Recovery—are the foundation of long-term muscle health.

Which one does your horse need more of right now?

Pillar 4: Regular Assessments & Care

🔍 Assessments & Care: Protecting the System

Regular check-ins paired with ongoing care keep your horse one step ahead of problems.

✨ Vet, physio, or bodyworker visits every 6–12 weeks.
✨ Massage and bodywork help prevent small issues becoming big setbacks.
✨ Saddle fit, dental health, hoof balance, and nutrition checked consistently.
✨ Consistency is key—think of this as ongoing insurance for your horse’s body.

➡️ Care today = performance and comfort tomorrow.

Pillar 3: Proper Nutrition

🥕 Fuel for Muscle Health

Strong, resilient muscles start with what’s on the feed chart.

✨ Quality protein supports repair and growth.
✨ Balanced minerals (magnesium, selenium, etc.) aid function.
✨ Tailor nutrition to age, workload, and body condition.

➡️ The right fuel = better performance, recovery, and overall soundness.

Pillar 2: Targeted Bodywork & Care

💆 Bodywork & Care: Beyond Relaxation

Muscles thrive when tension is released and supported with consistent care.

✨ Massage therapy aids recovery and circulation.
✨ Stretching and myofascial release restore flexibility.
✨ Therapeutic tools (like light therapy or ultrasound) enhance results.
✨ Ongoing care—like correct saddle fit and good nutrition—protects long-term muscle health.

➡️ Small tweaks today = soundness tomorrow.

Pillar 1: Correct & Consistent Movement

🐎 Movement is Medicine

Daily, varied, and progressive movement is the foundation of healthy muscles.

✨ Turnout or in-hand walking keeps joints and soft tissue moving.
✨ Hill work, pole work, and groundwork build strength evenly.
✨ Progressive training avoids overload and injury.

➡️ Consistency is the key to long-term muscle health.

⚖️ Signs Your Horse May Have Muscle Imbalances
Your horse might be trying to tell you something. Keep an eye out for these red flags:
✨ Uneven muscling or asymmetry
✨ Resistance to certain movements
✨ Hollowing, head tossing, or tail swishing under saddle
✨ Shortened stride or toe dragging
✨ Difficulty bending or picking up canter leads
✨ Behaviour changes like girthiness, stiffness, or reluctance
