✨ Introducing A.K. Equine Therapy Plans ✨

I’m delighted to introduce my new Therapy Plans, designed to provide flexible booking options while supporting your horse’s long-term health, comfort and performance.
Whether you’re looking for a one-off treatment or a structured programme of care, there’s now an option to suit every horse and owner.

Choose from:
🐴 Individual Treatments – perfect for owners who prefer to book as required.
🏇 Performance Therapy Plan – designed for horses in regular work or competition to help maintain comfort, mobility and performance.
❤️ Rehabilitation Therapy Plan – supporting horses returning to work following injury, veterinary treatment or periods of rest.
🏆 Competition Package – helping your horse prepare for competition and recover afterwards.

Every treatment includes:
✔ Personalised stretch & exercise programme
✔ Treatment report & aftercare advice
✔ Ongoing support tailored to your horse’s individual needs

If you’re unsure which option would best suit your horse, I’d be more than happy to discuss their needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

📩 Please feel free to get in touch to book or to find out more.

Why Backing Your Horse Up Can Be So Beneficial🤔

Backing up isn’t just a groundwork exercise — when done correctly, it can actually be a really useful tool for improving posture, coordination and body awareness🏋🏽‍♀️

From an equine bodywork perspective, backing up encourages horses to:
✨ Engage their core muscles
✨ Step further underneath with the hindlegs
✨ Shift weight off the forehand
✨ Improve balance and coordination
✨ Mobilise through the back and spine

Correct rein-back encourages the horse to stabilise through the abdomen and lift slightly through the back, helping to support posture and topline development. It also activates the hindquarters and encourages greater awareness of where the horse is placing their body and limbs.

Backing up can also be a very useful assessment tool. Horses that:
❗️drag their toes
❗️rush backwards
❗️hollow through the back
❗️swing crookedly
❗️resist the movement
❗️struggle to step evenly
…may be showing signs of weakness, tension, asymmetry or compensation patterns somewhere within the body.

The key is quality over quantity
✔ Slow
✔ Straight
✔ Relaxed
✔ Controlled

Even just a few correct steps can be beneficial when incorporated into groundwork or ridden work correctly 🙌🏼

As always, exercises should be appropriate for the individual horse and should never cause stress or discomfort 🐴🤍

Topline isn’t just about appearance 👀

A horse’s topline can tell us a lot about:
• posture
• strength
• movement patterns
• comfort under saddle

Loss of topline can happen for many reasons including:
• age
• weakness
• compensation
• incorrect work
• discomfort
• poor saddle fit

Building and maintaining topline takes time, consistency and correct management🤩

Massage can help support muscular relaxation and comfort alongside appropriate exercise and care✨
