Horse Harmony - Laura Collins

I am always thrilled to receive feedback after a massage 🥰. Often the deeper results of a massage are not immediately obvious to anyone but the horse. It can take upto 2 days for the body to settle and process or for their guardian to observe the changes - looser when ridden, more hind engagement, softer mannerisms ... sadly, I rarely get to see this part 🫤.

So thank you, for taking the time to write a review, send a message, take a video, share my name. I genuinely, really appreciate it - you are all amazing ☺️

There is so much pressure out there these days. Some of it is good, challenging traditional views, showing what is possible. But it is still pressure - to be DOING, to get results, to have the perfect relationship...

I try to live by the saying 'do your best until you know better, then do better'
But that HAS to be backed up with actively striving to know better, through thorough scientific research - not just what someone says on TicToc! Otherwise it can easily become an excuse.

I haven't always got it right with Tilly, I'm the first to put my hands up to that, but that has usually been when I have felt the pressure of society to do things/be a certain way. When I am true to my fundermental beliefs about the relationship I want to have with her (barefoot, bitless, consenting, mutual, positive, fun ...) and often when I actually do less, thats when those magic moments and steps forward happen.

Relax,
Be true to yourself and your horse,
Be your horse's voice,
Be the guardian you would want for yourself, .. no excuses 💙

☀️🌷Beautiful, busy day in County Durham - trying to fit everyone in before my jollies ✈️!

Minis to maxies, babies to golden oldies, regulars to newbies and everything in between!

As usual I failed to take lots of photos 🙈 but here are a few!

😊🐔🐴🧘🏼‍♀️
Love my vists to !
Its not only the animals that are thoroughly spoilt here - I get spoilt too 🥰!

Today's human massages were supervised by Betty the chicken and so Sophia insisted on cuddles while the horses had theirs!

The difference in Mac, the newest member, was incredible - a credit to the care and attention of his guardian 👏.

To get the best out of your partnership it is essential that the environmental, mental and physical needs of BOTH of you are being met - not just your horses! Don't underestimate the difference you make - your mood, balance, fittness... 🩵

A rare proper day off 🤗
Making the most of it with my beautiful girl in the sunshine!! We've just stopped for a lunch snack - the joys of being bitless 🥰.

Stopping to let her relax and eat ( her no1 favourite thing!), makes the ride purposeful and pleasurable for her as well as me.

Hope you are all able to enjoy it too, take care, happy horsing🐎!!

Had the pleasure of working with this beautiful boy today 🥰

This was his second treatment with me. He has PSSM2 (MIM) - a complex muscle disorder which results in severe muscle cramping, pain, behaviour challenges... It requires careful, consistent management of diet, environment and exercise, which his lovely owner is doing an excellent job of providing 😊.

Regular massage for PSSM horses can help support muscle function, improve flexibility, reduce pain and encourage relaxation.

If you'd like to find out more about how massage could help your horse - Im always happy to chat!

Breakfast with my girl 💕

I have always loved the sound of horses eating. Its calming, regulating, rhythmic.

Tilly isn't a fan of the stable so it is a great excuse for me to just to sit and prepare for the day while watching and listening 😌🧘🏼‍♀️🩵
