My Black Friday Gifts to You 🎁

Winter with horses can be… a lot.
Cold wind. Colder rain. Fresh horses on dark evenings. Yard noises that feel like the apocalypse. And of course, the suspicious bush monster.

Working our horses correctly and keeping things varied gets hard… and that’s exactly why I wanted to offer you something special.

Imagine if you could…
✨ Create a calmer, more focused horse through targeted postural release
✨ Improve flexibility, softness and suppleness by combining neuromuscular release with polework
✨ Channel that explosive winter energy (you know, the type where they feel like they’re a freshly rounded up wild Mustang) into engaged, productive groundwork patterns

If that sounds like what you and your horse need, then you’ll love my Functional Engagement & Release (FER) Approach.

✨ THE FREE WEBINAR FOR EVERYONE ✨

Join me (for free!) on Friday 29th @ 7pm as we dive into:

🤍 The 5 signs of negative posture
🐴 How muscles, fascia, joints and nerves all contribute to a horse’s movement
🐴 How release work + groundwork + polework = a beautifully functional, soft, engaged horse
🐴 Exactly how the FER Approach brings it all together in real, practical ways for every horse owner

Replays are of course available, because life!

💛 And if that wasn’t quite enough for you! 💛

If the webinar leaves you thinking, “Yes please, I need more of this in my life”, you can join my FER Approach Online Course at a generous 70% welcome discount.

Inside you’ll get:
🎥 Clear instructional videos
🎧 Audio-guided sessions
📐 Diagrams and polework layouts
📚 Step-by-step guidance for combining physiotherapy principles with groundwork

It’s the perfect winter support system for you and your horse - a more holistic, effective, and enjoyable way of working together (even when the weather is trying to ruin your life).

Beyond over the moon 🌙

Our second attempt at Medium, haven’t really been schooling, didn’t ride through the test, haven’t competed since spring… Technically could’ve been disastrous!

2 errors of course and 2 big mistakes (broncing and flying changes in your extended aren’t required Meji), left us with just over 60%; but otherwise a load of 7’s, really lovely comments and a happy horse 🥰

I used the test as more of somewhere to school considering I don’t have an arena at home, and it was really good for us both to ride with more accuracy and see where we need to focus more.

And of course, the sun was shining! ☀️

Take care of the horse's stifles! Even though "disengaging the hindquarters" is a popular technique when training young or unschooled horses, it taxes the stifles and often leads to soreness and dysfunction. Stifles are not designed well for sideways movement of the limbs.They must first be made stable and strong with forward, balanced work. Otherwise, not only is the stifle joint compromised, but the supporting musculature which originates from higher up the pelvis and lower back is also strained. The result is often inflamed joints, diminished range of motion, and poor use of the hind limbs. So, at the risk of being controversial, I would encourage all of us to avoid disengaging the hindquarters in an unfit horse.

The newest addition to my Therapy Toolbox! 🧰

These little pods are for cupping & myofascial release. I have been using them during both manual and INDIBA treatments, but I have just loved pairing them with INDIBA for a deeper decompressing effect 🤍

For anyone who needs to hear this — there is a lot of change going on at the moment seasonally, don’t feel the need to put the pressure on you and your horse to succeed/ride/“be normal”.

If your horse feels a bit too fresh to ride, just do groundwork. Or go home and try another day.

If it’s raining and you’re not feeling in the right headspace to ride, consider a shorter ride or trying another day when you feel you can be the person your horse needs.

If you’ve been in the school lots and you want to hack so your horse is having variety in their work, great. But if they’re unsettled and will spend most of the hack in negative posture, will it be worth it?

If you’re doing polework and your horse is continually spooking at the scary corner, give time to the corner and its problems… give space and patience and return to the poles after.

I’ve swapped from raised poles in a straight line to more complex flat poles like in the diagram for Meji, giving his brain something to focus on (alongside his core bands).

We have had a very dry Summer, followed by a mild and wet Autumn-Winter transition… a lot of the unsettled, different or slightly “off” behaviour from our horses at the moment can be due to metabolising these changes. It is often that type of “sharp” behaviour that cannot be relieved with exercise, so lunging 100 circles or riding for hours will not likely solve your problem (not that it should do!)

Don’t feel the pressure to get on and ride, this phase will pass & be kind to you and your horse 🤍

EDITED TO ADD: I have had lots of messages about polework designs, I have two polework inspiration manuals on my website that you can download!  https://www.vetphysiophyle.co.uk/shop/p/polework-inspiration-manual-vol-2

Just over 2 months of Meji living out and there has been such a positive shift in his posture.

I had such a feeling this would be the right thing for him, and his body is telling me I made the right decision.

I’m so enjoying our time together; we school once a week either at the gallops or at arena hire, we hack 2-3 times a week, and we do posture poles and groundwork 1-2 times a week. Sometimes I only ride twice, sometimes our sessions are only 15 minutes long, sometimes we stretch, sometimes we don’t. But the one consistency is Meji’s body and mind feel soft and open, something I was struggling with when stabled more and I wasn’t seeing him as often.

This morning we were meant to do poles, but instead we sunbathed, did a few mobilisations and enjoyed the November sun warming our backs and soaked in the good energy 🌞

Thank you Meji for your guidance 🤎

Some Friday thoughts! 💭

Have you ever wondered how the blood 🩸 is stimulated in the horses hooves? How is it able to be pumped from the top of the leg, down into the hoof, and then back up the leg again?

This is part of the intricate “Hoof Pumping Mechanism” and haemodynamic blood flow. 🌀

When the horse places weight through their hoof, the frog makes contact with the ground and the bones within the hoof descend, which compresses the digital cushion and venous plexus; a series of veins located at the back of the hoof that hold
