Sunday 🤍

Wanneroo Horse & Pony Club

What a wonderful Sunday spent sharing space with some incredible people ponies and children 🐎

Yesterday was such a rewarding day and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to give back and spend time with the next generation of young equestrians there is something truly special about seeing children so eager to learn and wanting to do the very best for their horses well done everyone 👏

Throughout the day we spent time discussing the importance of muscle health why it matters how it can affect a horse’s comfort performance and overall wellbeing and what signs to look out for we also explored some simple tools techniques and practical tips that the riders can take home and incorporate into their own horse care routines 🙌

Education is such a powerful thing and if we can help young riders better understand their horses and their bodies we are helping to create a future generation of horse people who prioritise welfare kindness and understanding ☺️

A huge thank you to everyone involved and thank you for having me It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with you all and I loved seeing the enthusiasm curiosity and passion these young riders have for their horses 🐎

I look forward to our next rally and to seeing so many of you in our appointments also Amanda a massive thank you for all you do and I can’t forget me incredible friend Ruby Hayes your so amazing who doesn’t love a good friend who shows up with your coffee on the day thank you 🫢

The future of our industry is certainly in good hands 🌟

🌧️🐴 A Little Wet Weather Reminder 🐴🌧️

As we head into the wetter months I just wanted to share a friendly reminder to help ensure your horse gets the most out of their treatment session 🤗

Horses should be dry before their appointment and have access to suitable undercover shelter if rain is forecast this allows me to properly assess and work through the muscles as wet coats and damp muscles can make treatment a little more challenging and certainly isn’t ideal

Following treatment it’s also beneficial for horses to be kept warm and protected from the weather where possible once treatment has been completed 🙌

I completely understand that sometimes the weather has other plans especially during winter but a little preparation beforehand can make a big difference to both your horse’s comfort and the overall effectiveness of their treatment 😘

Thank you as always for your support and for helping me provide the best care possible for your horses 🤎

Phoenix the Unicorn loving life as a paddock puff 🦄

This special guy has certainly been on a journey and I am so grateful I got to be apart of it along the way 🤎

Like so many horses Phoenix and his owner Jess faced ongoing soundness challenges over the years and with jess ensuring he had everything at his fingertips from a great farrier myself the vet and her coaches all in their corner working as a team we worked through the ups and downs always putting Phoenix’s wellbeing first 🤎

After many in-depth discussions and careful consideration Jess made the selfless decision to retire him for the sake of his quality of life 🙌

Could Phoenix have continued on with additional intervention and management? Probably to a certain point but the reality was that he wasn’t truly happy in his work and neither was his body and certain issues would continue to resurface and that’s ok 👌

Sometimes our horses don’t enjoy the jobs we ask them to do and sometimes their bodies struggle with the demands within that work and sometimes their behaviour tells us the biggest part of the story but whatever the reason listening to the horse is always the biggest piece of the puzzle so we can treat them accordingly 🤎

At just 10 years old this beautiful boy has embraced retirement and is absolutely thriving in his new role as a professional lawnmower 🤎

The Horse first 🤎

Retirement suits you well Phoenix 🤎🦄✨

Your Horse Works Hard 💪

Whether your horse is competing training trail riding or simply enjoying life in the paddock their muscles are working every day just like us after a workout muscles can become tight fatigued and restricted if they aren’t properly maintained and that’s where what I do comes in 🙌

As we know tight muscles affect movement flexibility posture performance and comfort horses often compensate for these restrictions long before we notice obvious signs of soreness which can place additional strain on other areas of the body 🫣

Regular muscle release helps reduce tension improve circulation support recovery and restore normal muscle function all while allowing your horse to move more freely and comfortably so they can give you more and stay feeling their best 👏

Prevention is always better than rehabilitation weakness or other issues that may arise and supporting your horses muscular health now can help keep them feeling and performing at their best as we target their needs as an individual because not all treatments are the same it’s tailored to your horse as an individual 🫶

If your horse is due for a treatment now is the perfect time to book your horse works hard for you let’s make sure their body gets the care it deserves 🔥
