3 Beautiful Boys

Robin, Rico and Sebbie all enjoyed some gentle craniosacral therapy this morning.

Craniosacral therapy uses very light, sensitive pressure, with no manipulation of the muscular tissue or skeleton, which encourages the horse's body to release tension and rebalance itself.

Craniosacral therapy works on the cranium, spine, and sacrum to aid the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which nourishes and protects the brain and spinal cord.

Thank you to those who have adjusted appointments so I can have a couple of days to try and fight it off.

Who else is stuck in the never ending cycle of acorn clearing this year? There are just sooooo many!

I'm sure the tree that overhangs Doug's grazing has a sense of humour... as I am clearing the fallen acorns it drops more and they hit me on the head.

It was Monday morning self care for me this week and a trip to Kay at Cottage Therapies.

After 3+ months of continuous pain due to piriformis syndrome, I am trying my best to keep on top of my wellbeing.

Today was the first time Kay was able to carry out a relaxing routine treatment rather than trying to resolve muscular issues and it was amazing 🥰

If anyone is in need of Kay's magic hands her details are on the pictures.

Blackberry leave have many benefits for our horses including;

Vitamins and Minerals - the leaves contain Vit C as well as calcium, potassium and manganese for general health.

Antioxidants - help to protect against cellular damage.

Tannins - helpful for strengthening intestinal flora.

Flavanoids - along with other compounds in the leaves posses anti-inflammatory properties.

🐴The Hacking Horse🐴

❓️Have you ever thought about how a gentle hack could benefit your horse❓️

⭐️Hacking is a very important form of conditioning that works the horse’s whole body. Lets look at how some of the muscles work during a hack!

🔹 Hindquarters (gluteals & hamstrings): these muscles generate forward power, building the horse’s strength and stamina.
🔹 Back & core (longissimus dorsi, abdominals): these muscles stabilize the rider’s weight, promote spinal mobility, and encourage correct posture.
🔹 Forehand (trapezius, biceps brachii): these muscles absorb impact on different terrain and help balance the horse during hill work.
🔹 Neck (splenius, brachiocephalicus): these muscles adjust balance and head carriage, supporting turning and straightness.

❓️Why does hacking matter for conditioning and rehab❓️

✅Walking on varied ground strengthens tendons, ligaments, and bone density.

✅Gentle inclines encourage engagement of the hindquarters and core.

✅Low-intensity, steady work supports cardiovascular fitness without overworking joints.

✅Relaxed hacking builds mental resilience, reducing stress and improving rideability in training.

✅A well-planned hack over varying terrain is one of the simplest yet most efficient tools for long-term fitness, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.

How it all began.

I am a fully qualified, experienced and insured holistic equine massage practitioner and owner of Centaur Equine Massage Training.

I offer remedial, healing and sports massage treatments, which include traditional massage techniques, myofascial release therapy and cranio-sacral therapy, meridian therapy, trigger point therapy, red light therapy, heat therapy (Epiony heat pad and thermal wand), fascial edging and kinesiology taping. This means that I can tailor each treatment to suit the needs of each individual horse that I treat.

I became interested in equine massage through the love I have for my horse, Jess. I have owned Jess for the past 18 years and throughout this time Jess has suffered with intense back problems due to her previous working life. After using many different options for treating these problems I found that massage was the most effective for her needs, causing a total state of relaxation of body and mind allowing the muscles to relax and begin to repair themselves. This type of treatment kept Jess comfortable and in work when I had begun to think that my only option for her was retirement.

Having watched the effect just hands can have on my beloved mare I decided that I would like to train and qualify in equine massage so that I can help her continued recovery as well as helping many other horses in this way. Alongside my equine massage business I also began tutoring equine massage before launching Centaur Equine Massage Training to help more people achieve their goal of becoming equine massage practitioners.
