It's hot, the horses are fed up of the flies (yes we're in the middle of horse fly season) so amusement ideas?

Good news for the development of our sector. Welcome Dr Celia

Dr Celia Grummitt, CEO of GUL has been appointed as Chair of ESAP.

Dr C said "I am honoured to be taking my turn as chair of Equine Assisted Services Partnership CIC which is the holder of the Human Equine Interaction Register. When I joined the board 18 months ago, it was not with any intention of taking this position but here I am nonetheless!

I have been involved with equine assisted services for many years. I have long been aware of the way my ponies and horses help me with my own physical and mental health. As a GP I often felt I could do more to change someone's life through working with them outside and with an equine rather than sitting in a surgery in too short an appointment. I have practiced in EA Therapy for many years now and hope to bring these skills and insights into my tenure as chair.

Coming from a highly regulated profession, I am well acquainted with issues such as scope of practice and the need for assurance for commissioners and participants and look forward to being able to support the membership in our collective journey.

We have an exciting agenda for the next three years which includes widening our membership, being their voice at national level, providing the kitemark, spreading understanding and assisting providers to attain good standards of wise provision."

Gul Outdoor Therapy operates from 5 sites across the UK, 3 of which major on Equine Assisted Services( EAS). Celia is the author of Horses and Human Health, which is now in its second edition by Riverside Publishing. As a medical practitioner Celia brings years of experience in the NHS, the Armed Forces and the prison service as well as in the field of EAS. Celia also works in the clinical area of autism diagnosis as well as in therapeutic sessions in Outdoor Therapy.

Does anyone recognise this horse? We used to have a similar gypsy cob, but she was mainly white...

Gratitudes: thank you to Lauren and Alex who did a great job of raking out the 2 tons of sand that were dumped in the middle of our barn just before we had a new client on site.

We use sand in the barn as support for our horses, as it reduces impact on joints, muscles and hooves.

It's also a natural conditioner, naturally wearing the hoof down , keeping them well- rounded, encouraging concavity which is really good for our barefoot horses.

Great afternoon, lovely to see Emma and her student, Anoush really appreciated the dual scratches!

When itching that itchy bit creates a conveniently wide stance perfect for nippering chestnuts!!

Thank you Heel 1st Hoof Care - Sian Hilbourne Student EP for the assistance!
