Zephyn Equine Therapy

It's really interesting watching the herd dynamics on the track.
The horses were all paired up the other day, then they swapped around as they moved around.
Zeph had been mainly hanging out with the smaller ponies then yesterday I saw he'd been allowed to hang out with the bigger horses.

Royal is Pride's girl, but she seems to be slowly taking a shine to Finn, who won't take any nonsense from anyone and seems to be attracting all the girls' attention!

Yesterday I took a big step towards backing my youngster Zephyr...I had a riding lesson!

Some of you might know that Finn's been attempting to retire since April 2023, and after the sh*tty laminitis earlier this year, along with the other longstanding niggles he has, he seems to have achieved his goal 🙃

As I've barely ridden more than a handful of times over recent years I thought I'd best start preparing myself as well as I've been preparing Zephyr 😁
No photos of that, but here's some of the boys in the sun yesterday instead 💛🖤

Caught up with this big Monkey yesterday evening.
He obviously didn't think much of my notes and flicked his tea all over them! Thankfully he appreciated the bodywork more 😅

When I moved the boys to the new livery I was a bit concerned it might be too quiet and Zeph would forget what traffic was.
I needn't have worried- Ongoing track maintenance = heavy machinery and tractors ✅️
A popular fisheries and campsite on the estate = plenty of cars and motorhomes ✅️

A busy log selling enterprise = lorries and logs being unloaded ✅️

All are really useful in keeping up Zeph's exposure 😊
The driver actually stopped for us but I said he could keep going.

I'm not a hugely spiritual person, but after listening to a podcast by Alexa Linton on her Whole Horse Podcast with Sandra Wallin I was intrigued to find out more about the Council of Horses Oracle.

It's a beautiful set of cards with some very thought provoking content. If you have any inkling of curiosity I'd definitely recommend buying the set, available through Amazon in the UK.

Super excited to share that I've got a place on EQ Therapeutics craniosacral course 🎉

I've been wanting to study this modality for a while now, but struggled to find the right provider.
I'm currently studying their Orthopaedic Assessment courses and know how great the tuition is....and best of all I have to attend face to face practical sessions next year in order to gain certification....in Canada 😁

I think Zephyr approves of his new balance pads 😁
And I think I might have got my agility/trec mojo back 🎉
I might even get back into the online competitions!

These are the qualifications I have. It sounds like the course is even bigger and better this year. Hopefully the more awareness raised with more people training in Quad X and rehabilitation will improve the health of many more horses

Finn's now on his third pair of boots after trying his best to trash his second pair by pulling a strap off 😅
The first pair are still going strong...just. He might need a fourth pair soon.
I suppose if he just stands in his feed buckets all night they'll stay clean 🤣 (and yes, he did this all on his own!)

Highly recommend Sue, this will be a great introduction to acupressure and a bargain at the price.

🥳 NOW FULLY BOOKED 🥳
FINAL CALL!
WE NEED A FEW MORE PEOPLE FOR THIS COURSE TO RUN.

This introduction to Acupressure workshop will give you all the information you need to be able to use acupressure techniques to help your horse. Whatever the behavioural or physical issues they have there will be effective acupressure points to help, all for less than the price of a tub of most supplements!
Normal cost of this workshop is £75 and remember all profits are going to support the RDA ponies so grab yourself a bargain. It will be a real shame if we can't go ahead.

Please DM to reserve your place by midnight Sunday 12th October 🙏
