No fair weather riders here

The lovely Giselle after her birthday massage last week, and feeling much better than the first time I saw her 🥳

How many times a day do you have to say “I love my horse I love my horse I love my horse” ? Here I am in full swing of rehab with mine, he not strong enough to carry a rider in trot yet after a great deal of time off, I don’t want to work him on a surface as we are trying to strengthen the suspensories and heal a hole (with the help of our Equinetendon.com Equistride boot) surfaces are notoriously bad support for ligaments and tendons as the cushioning places extra strain on them, so running round the road it is… for now anyway, we have to adapt the plan to each stage of his rehab for now the extra strain on the joints from the hard ground is much less troublesome than the extra strain on the ligament from the surface, as we progress I will continue to weigh the pro’s and con’s on his body as a whole unit to hopefully give him a successful recovery… 🤞

A theraplate and and ear scratch, this is the life….

Getting on with our rehab plan, he’s never been the biggest fan of being “alone” but all the hand walking we’ve been doing over the last few months has really helped, he’s much braver now, here he is in his Equistride boot, I will do a proper post on this boot when I have time to do it justice

Exciting times here, we have hired a Theraplate for a month (for now) whilst we decide wether to take the plunge and buy one to add to our services! This is part of an ongoing rehab plan for my own horse along with massage and other therapies 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Happy to see abit of sun after it’s rained ALL week, remember to be careful to check for injuries especially now the fields will become slippery again 😭
