Another exciting education update. I now hold a diploma in Equine Osteopathy! So relieved, its been a long road and a lots of work for this old brain. I am very excited for the services I can now offer my clients. The learning never stops however……..

August 2022

The blood, sweat & actual tears 🙄 were worth it as I’ve officially passed Year 1 of my Equine Osteopathy Diploma 🥳🥳🥳 Now for Year 2 🙌

Year 1

July 2022

Many of you are very familiar with my horse Flint and our journey together. For all the people in the rehab doldrums – hang in there! There were so many times I lost the faith but here we are doing our first ever Novice test. I’m afraid it takes the time it takes 🤷🏻‍♀️ walk, walk and more walk. Let the plan change (& your expectations) to suit where you are. Trust your team – you are NOT alone. #inbalanceequine

⭐️⭐️ Exciting News ⭐️⭐️
I have officially become an ambassador for the Equestic Clip!
This little clip has quite literally kept me sane over the last few months 🙌
I took the plunge and bought one back in October and have been using it for every ride (when I remember to keep it charged) ever since.
I’ll do a series of posts explaining its many features, so keep a look out and of course get in touch or comment if you have specific questions.
As many of you know my beautiful boy 🦄 Flint 🦄 has had a series of issues, the origin of which can beequestic clip attributed to his high/low heel conformation 🙄. His body carries significant asymmetries which of course led me to the ground work exercises that I find vital to support horse health (that’s another story!).
Anyway, our rehab finally progressed to trot work but I was terrified of re-injury and pushing his body too far – that’s where this magic clip has really helped!!
Basically the clip takes measurements for rhythm, impulsion and crucially symmetry measurements at trot.
Initially when we started our trot work Flint felt so inconsistent and I couldn’t quite understand what I was feeling/ he was telling me?? The clips stats confirmed this and showed the inconsistency in his gait and stopped me from going insane 🤪. It helped me to work out what his body could cope with and build from there 💪.
The beauty of this clip is that’s it’s not even that expensive!! There is a subscription which again isn’t eye watering and you get the first 3 months free, which certainly got me hooked!
I have a discount code (InBalanceEquine) which offers you 15% off the price, which I’d be super grateful if you used as I do get recognition for promoting them.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been (tentatively)offering my services again with the change in lockdown rules – just locally at the moment and limited spaces until I get used to this change in working practices 😷. Give me a shout if you’d like a session (will hopefully be ok to travel a bit further soon) and I’ll get it in the diary 📔.
Feels so good to be hands 👐 on again and I feel boosted by all the extra study time I’ve had 👩🏻‍🎓.

I apologise for the lack of news recently. I have been snowed under this summer with family life, showing my wonderful boy, working and studying!

Well all the hard work was worth it as I received an A+, 91% grade for my Equine untitledExercise Physiology course.A+ I learned so much and was fascinated with how I could apply my human physiology degree to better our equine health. I am now very happy to offer fitness & conditioning  to this ever expanding equine service.

Why massage my horse?

26th November 2014

Had a fantastic session today, picking the brains of Bruce Phalen. A renowned jockey and trainer, he has learned over the years how to use massage, stretching, nutrition and herbs to get the most out of his horses. Was fascinating to hear his insights and I look forward to learning more from him in the future. My horse Flint certainly appreciated the attention! Thanks Bruce.

Another qualification under my belt. I found out today that I passed my externship for the Discovering Anatomy Course I attended in May. It was a fantastic chance to fine tune my knowledge by building with clay and researching each muscle onto an equine model. It was amazing to see how the muscles sit in their layers, their size, shape and position relative to everything else. I would highly recommend this course, thanks Equinology!
