🌿🐎 Did you know that narrowleaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), often seen as a simple w**d, has incredible benefits for horses?

Narrowleaf plantain is known for its high mucilage content, which can be soothing for the digestive and respiratory systems. It also contains active compounds like aucubin, which has antimicrobial properties, and tannins, which can aid in wound healing.

Whether they're nibbling on it in the pasture or it's offered as a supplement, this unassuming plant is a testament to the wisdom of nature and our animals' innate ability to self-medicate.

If your pasture does not contain plantain now is an excellent time to forage in the hedgerows.

DISCLAIMER Always consult with a vet or equine nutritionist before adding new herbs to your horse's diet!

With the recent storm passing over Ireland it has reminded us how lucky we are to have an all weather track and shelter.

In all weather the horses have the option to move around the hay stations, go for a roll in the sand, relieve itchy spots against the scratching posts and seek shelter from the rain with further hay stations indoors.

Happy relaxed horses have choices 💕

Today the ponies were treated to massages from Rob Walsh Equine sports massage. It's important especially after dentistry work to work out any tight muscles, especially in the poll area.

🐴 Flicka the absolute dote has some tight area despite not doing an awful lot and has been referred to chiro. I'm hoping to bring her back to work soon so it's better to know this now before starting work. Imagine how that could affect her behavior!
🐴 Teddy as always is pretty much perfect.
🐴 Our newbie resident Lincoln was an absolute superstar and really needed it after the long journey from the UK, bracing himself and holding stress in the body needs releasing. Rob recommended a herbal massage remedy for ongoing treatment by his owner.

Many thanks Rob for your expertise and great chat. I can highly recommend Rob to anyone seeking equine massage for their horse.

While I have my reservations about comparing noseband pressure of bits and bitless it will be good to see the data of the bitless bridles with accurate rein tension control.

Will this tell us more about the level of contact a bitless bridle should be ridden in or will reinforce the narrative that bits don't cause nose pressure (the obvious being they don't work on the nose)?. We shall have to wait and see.

I am grateful that there is a great team working hard to our this together and I'm delighted that one of our Professional Bitless Bridle Fit students Helen Reader is involved ensuring the bitless bridles are correctly fitted.

One things I can say with certainty is that we must keep researching and testing. With so many designs of bridle and also the training approach to bitless creating a new mainstream of R+ I am sure there is still a lot we can learn and we must keep our minds open.

A great idea, continuous reinforcement enrichment combo!

Howdy!

’m Phillippa Christie MCMA IAHT, founder of Equine Partnership. For many years I have been passionate about supporting horses in a natural way ~ training bitless, treeless & shoeless .

As a registered & certified Equine Psychologist, I am able to support you with your Equine Partnership in a holistic approach. I believe that we should work with horses is the most natural way possible, to support them in mind and body.

When we can learn why something is or is not working, we are able to apply ourselves and this supports our horses, supports our partnerships and ultimately makes us better trainers.

I work on many levels to develop horsemanship & listening skills in myself and others. Specialising in equine communication, equine behaviour, bitless transitioning within a holistic approach.
