✨ Last night I had a really insightful conversation with Pamela Igwe. She’s launched a community on the Skool app called Hormonal Hero, designed to educate and empower women of all ages about their hormones.

From practical tips on supplements to strategies for managing symptoms — it’s packed with useful, science-backed knowledge. 🌸

Because when it comes to our health, knowledge truly is power! 💪

👋 Welcome to my new followers! Here’s a little about how I care for horses…

✨ Horses may not speak, but they communicate through every stride, posture, and reaction. My job as an equine physiotherapist is to listen with my hands.

With gentle therapy, I help horses:
🌿 Release tension
🌿 Restore mobility
🌿 Recover after training or injury
🌿 Move with greater ease and comfort

The best feeling? Watching a horse take that first softer, freer stride — and knowing they’ve found relief.

👉 The best results come when therapy works alongside exercise, veterinary care, farriery, dentists, saddle fitters and of course, the dedication of owners and riders.

Timely reminder how important getting your saddle checked regularly is!

This is my own jump saddle that had started moving the last few weeks. Luckily I haven't been using it as much as I felt it moving. Likely to be from a loose rivet & stress fracture that failed eventually, resulting in broken tree!

I have had a lot of clients confessing their own anxieties about first outings, getting back to competing after years/months off, not being where they thought they would be or doing what they think they should be doing…..

Often when we look online it can appear that everyone else is doing more or better than us, everything is rosy.
I confess I am also guilty of this.
Last week I took my own new horse out for her first outing, although I have had her since November we haven’t really had a chance to get going between one thing & the other. I was feeling a bit deflated as I am not as far on as I would have liked & we are right back at the beginning again. Then the internal voice of doubt started “if she was with another rider she would be further along” “she isn’t schooled enough” “am I going to look like a complete eejit”

I had to stop & remind myself I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
I needed to take some of my own advice and “paddle my own canoe” It is my journey & who cares what everyone else is doing.

So celebrate what you are doing, whether it is trying something new, successfully loading on your own, entering a competition for the first time in months/years, managing to successfully hack on your own what ever your small wins are, they are yours.
We are all at different stages & phases with our horses so keep going, at least you are doing something!
