Scientists believe that dogs frequently dream about their owners, especially during activities like playing, based on research into canine sleep patterns and brain activity. Studies show that dogs enter REM sleep—the same dreaming phase seen in humans—during which their brainwaves mimic those of an awake, active state. In some cases, researchers have observed muscle twitches or paw movements that resemble walking or tail wagging.

Harvard researchers and others suggest that because dogs form strong emotional bonds with their humans, their dreams are likely filled with familiar and meaningful interactions. Much like people replay fragments of their day while sleeping, dogs may be reliving joyful moments spent with the people they love most.

Maybe I’m bonkers, I probably am. But I have always ‘wanted’ to run a marathon, and never believed I could or would have the time to train (definitely questionable), but I woke up 2 days ago thinking if I never enter one - there will always be a reason why I can’t. So I’ve entered 🫣 the New Forest marathon in September. I’m raising money for Second Chance Animal Rescue Southampton where we adopted our beautiful Maggie. Just she, her siblings and mum alone cost the rescue so much in treatment for fleas, worms and parvovirus on top of vaccines and microchips. Every donation helps them rescue more animals in need and give them a ‘second chance’.

I’ll probably create another fundraiser after the run for a new set of knees 😂

Some pics from the in hand physio clinic yesterday, 9 stations of exercises to challenge strength, range of motion, coordination, proprioception, rhythm and collection, and all encouraging core engagement. All horses were mentally and physically exhausted by the end 🐴

Thank you Tanglefoot Farm Livery for the venue and organising 😀

And thank you for those for coming.

After being on my “to do list” for the past 4 years of always being “too busy” I decided at the start of this year to just book a date and do it. I’m so glad because it was great fun and something different for all!

In hand sessions are excellent for muscle recruitment, encouraging self-carriage and the horse to become more aware of their body without interference from saddle and rider. When on the ground it enables us to see how they are moving and monitor postural changes, giving gentle guidance and identifying when something is too big of an ask.

I will be running more of these this year so look out for dates 🗓️
