Osteopathy 🤝 Saddle Fitting

Sid & Breeze

Breeze was very weak and stuffy in his movement when he arrived a few months ago, his new owners have been so diligent following all advice on treatments, lunging and physio over an extended period of time.

The saddle he came with not terrible for Breeze, but as with so many small saddles the flaps were so long little Sids legs had no hope of making contact with the pony’s sides. So working with The Saddle Bank to find a child, pony and budget friendly option we knabbed a fab little pony saddle.

And just look at Breeze fly! Loving his new life, saddle and strong comfy back. And look at Sids super position and effective riding 😍

Osteopathy 🤝 Saddle Fitting

Dolly & Lily

Getting this pair back out having fun with osteopathy, short rehab plan and followed up with a saddle fitting 💃

We switched up the current saddle, as beautiful as it was, was not giving the wither the freedom it needed. Now in the super Mono Jump and back prepping for the event season 💚

We’ve taken a bad tumble. And we are both bruised and sore, but we will be ok. Thank you to all the people who scooped us up and made sure we got what we needed to be looked after, I’m so very grateful 💕

I will be a little slow to get back to messages and outstanding admin for a few days, sorry to people waiting for communication and booking confirmations from me.

Bookings early next week may be liable to be cancelled but I will keep you updated each day as my mobility and concussion allows.

You lovely lot! Health and happiness to you and horse fur-friends.

Work hard, play hard, look after yourself, look after your horse, be kind to yourself, be kind to your horse.

Have fun with your horses, make sure they are having fun too.

Don’t forget to check your tack, his back, and that his movement stays on track.

🧡 New website 🧡

With my old website up for renewal it was time for a refresh and a revamp, and a new domain name to help support the evolving nature of my business.

At the very least it needed to say I worked in Somerset not Surrey any more as I’ve not worked there for 5 years now 😅

Please use the new email address to contact me, the old website and email will be deactivated at the end of December.

Omg finally Case Study 4 submitted today.

The snail of the group is at least on the move 🐌🤣

This has been my favourite one so far!! Working with an ex-racehorse with asymmetrical muscle development in the shoulders, and look at that 10mm muscle growth on the right in 4 weeks!

This is my kind of saddle fitting 🙌🏻

Case Study 2 compeleted ✅

As with so many saddles they get passed around between friends hoping they will land on a horse that it might fit.

A Steve Stugess saddle on a 16hh Quarter Horse X all rounder.

Another tricky back conformation, as genuinely croup high (most are just bad posture), meaning tactical saddle fit will be required.

Key components in this case:

➰The horses back conformation and comfort
➰Rear panel shape and gusset depth
➰Bridging! A very common problem.

Unfortunately the saddle was deemed unsuitable due to the length, and that’s generally a deal breaker.

First case study completed ✔️

An Arena Pony Jump saddle on a 12.2 PC pony all rounder.

Fitting saddles well to ponies is notoriously difficult! So I threw myself in at the deep end 😅

Tutor feed back notes: ‘Tricky combination and you have made excellent observations and recommendations’

Key things in this case

➰Tree shape
➰Girthing strap options
➰Young Rider (balance, core strength and lower leg position)

A little about me...

I am an Equine Osteopath, both a practitioner and a lecturer in the subject. My work was borne from personal experience with the power of osteopathic philosophy and healing, as well as a inherent passion for horses. I am very fortunate to have a job where I am genuinely excited and inspired to go to work each and every day, I love my job.

.

I aim to provide an expert solution for owners to help resolve back pain, improve & maintain performance and support injury recovery for their horses. Alongside this I offer informative talks to groups and clubs on related topics such as exercises, back care basics and anatomy. I am passionate about the education aspect for clients, hence my informative posts on my page.
