Honeysyke Equine Sea Climate Therapy

Day 1 of 3 for Rocky this morning. His owner booked the sessions as he's currently spending more time inside at the moment. Some mucus was loosened off, days 2 and 3 will clear any more out. Any inflammation in the upper or lower airways will also be reduced by the treatments.

I think we can all resonate with this right now... hold tight spring is round the corner and we will soon be reminded why we do it all. Winter will be a distant memory once again....

At some point every winter, every horse owner ends up in the same place. Standing in the mud , wheelbarrow stuck & hay in all the crevices. Staring at their horse. Maybe even leaking from their eyes.

Realising they are supposed to be the responsible CEO of a financially ruinous, emotionally demanding, hay-powered charity.

January makes it so much worse.

You start doing the mental maths.

Feed and hay prices that make your eye twitch.
Livery fees , Farrier , Worming. Rugs that cost the same as a weekend away you absolutely are not taking.

And then January really leaaaaaans in on day 23983829485th.

Payday still a week away.
The Halifax app sliding into your phone like,
“Hey you 👋 just a heads up… you’ve got bills coming out and this will mean you have minus money.”
Thank you, Halifax. Love these updates. Truly.

And the horse?

Calm.
Emotionally unbothered.
Positively RADIANT even!

Living their best forage-based life while you spiral gently over spreadsheets and bank balances.

Here’s the bit no one says because it’s a bit too raw.

Your horse is thriving right now because you are quietly breaking yourself in tiny, responsible ways.

They don’t know you’re budgeting.
They don’t know you’ve sold tack, cancelled plans, eaten beans on toast, or postponed literally everything for yourself so the farrier, feed and hay deliveries are never missed.

All they experience is:
✨ warmth
✨ routine
✨ full belly
✨ predictable humans

They never see the emotional or financial gymnastics behind it.

People joke about being “horse poor”, but underneath the humour is a level of devotion most people can’t imagine.

You are holding another being’s entire world together while the country quietly falls apart round the edges financially.

So if January is F%$&ing rinsing you, your bank app is being passive aggressive, and you’re one invoice away from crying in the feed room, it isn’t because you’re failing.

It’s because you’re doing everything right in a system that makes this absurdly hard right now.

Your horse is safe because of you.
That’s the quiet, unglamorous truth of every season with horses.

What a sad sad day for the dressage world. Fly high together boys 💙🐴

Sleep well Blueberry and Uti, two of the greatest horses of our generation.

It is with immense sadness that we have said goodbye to Valegro and Uthopia and without question, this is a loss that just feels hard to comprehend.

Trying to write a tribute to these two horses feels harder than I imagined. The yard just doesn’t feel the same without them, there’s an emptiness in the air.

Valegro and Uthopia did more than win medals and write history, they gave our sport a golden era. They both showed that greatness can be gentle, sensitive and harmonious and they made a nation proud and inspired so many.

Being part of their journey will always remain one of my proudest achievements and the whole team and myself are deeply grateful for the joy they gave to us at home but also to their fans around the world.

Their entire lives ran in parallel; they travelled to the shows side by side, lived in neighbouring stables, grazed in the same fields and retired together. Their bond and companionship were absolute.

As life as old boys advanced, so too did the health challenges, so allowing them to leave this world together was the final act of loyalty and dignity I felt I could give them, honouring a partnership that had never been separated in life.

They leave behind a huge void, and the yard has changed forever and so have we. They were our family and I will love and miss them always. The impact they had will remain but sadly, we don’t get to keep horses forever.
We only get to carry what they leave inside us. And these two left us so much.

I just want to wish each and every one of you competing at STARS Champion of Champions 2025 Aintree International Equestrian Centre the best of luck. You've all worked so hard to get here and you're all champions already. It was lovely last week to see my customers for their SeaClimate therapies in preparation for the event. Lots of schooling prep and hot clothing going on too 💫
Have fun everyone and be proud of yourselves 🏆🐴

The results of 2 of the top ups for some regulars today. They've not coughed or had runny noses since their last sessions, but the SeaClimate session still cleared a good amount of snot out for them.

A top up for the lovely Kiki this morning to keep her cough away now she is stabled more for winter.

Hay is extremely dry after the heat wave of spring and summer. Now winter is drawing near and they are stabled for longer, it's a good time to consider SeaClimate sessions to help maintain a healthy respiratory system.

Drop me a message if you'd like more information 🧂🐴
