When you're so relaxed you nearly fall asleep in your owner's lap!

I had the pleasure of treating this gorgeous girl recently, and she was an absolute sweetheart from start to finish.

She does lots of groundwork and liberty work with her owner, which really showed during her session. She was so easy to work with and happy to be involved in everything.

It didn't take long for her to let us know she was enjoying herself! Within minutes we were seeing some lovely releases, lots of licking and chewing, yawning and plenty of softening.

But the best part? She became so relaxed that she was practically falling asleep in her owner's lap while the needles were in and doing their thing!

Even after her treatment, she wasn't quite ready to get back to business. Once back in her stall, she settled in and fell asleep!

It's moments like these that make my job so rewarding. Seeing a horse feel comfortable enough to completely switch off and relax is just lovely. ❤️

When the needles bend, but the real reward is seeing them relax!

This lovely girl was quite tight through her muscles as she starts coming back into work after a break.

Some of the needles from her session came out incredibly bent and curved, with a couple almost forming a U shape! It's always interesting to see just how much the needles can bend during a treatment.

But beyond the crazy needle shapes, one of my favourite parts was seeing this sweet girl melt into her rub-down afterwards. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the extra pampering.

Even better, her owners got in touch afterwards to let me know how much of a difference they'd noticed and that she seemed so much better!

Hearing that kind of feedback is always rewarding. Helping horses feel more comfortable as they return to work is what it's all about. ❤️

Keeping this handsome boy feeling his best.

I had the pleasure of treating this lovely gelding recently, who had been experiencing quite a bit of stiffness through his neck.

Still actively ridden and competing, he certainly isn't ready to slow down just yet! After all, staying comfortable and moving well is important at every stage of a horse's life.

He was an absolute delight to treat and thoroughly enjoyed the whole session, happily relaxing and making my job easy.

Hopefully, the treatment helps ease some of that neck stiffness and leaves him feeling looser and more comfortable for his next adventures with his owner.

Because whether they're young or a little more experienced, every horse deserves to feel their best. ❤️

Helping this lovely mare feel more comfortable

I had the pleasure of treating this lovely girl recently after her owners noticed she’d been sore and experiencing some clicking around her stifle.

She was an absolute pleasure to treat and stood beautifully throughout her session, making my job nice and easy.

Hopefully the treatment has given her some relief and helped her feel more comfortable moving forward. It’s always lovely to be able to give a horse a little extra support when they’re not quite feeling themselves.

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for a positive change for this beautiful girl. ❤️

🐴 From “What was that?” to completely relaxed

I saw this lovely boy today after he’d been dealing with some ongoing foot issues. Now that his feet are sorted, his owners wanted to give him some extra support and help him feel as comfortable as possible.

When I assessed him, he was quite tight through his back. Once the needles were placed and started working, he initially reacted a little to the sensation — more of a “well, that's an interesting feeling!” moment rather than being worried about the needles themselves.
But it didn't take long for him to settle.

As the treatment continued, the yawns started, his body visibly softened and he stood happily through the rest of his session. By the end, he looked noticeably more relaxed and comfortable than when we started.
It's always lovely to watch a horse go from feeling a little unsure about a new sensation to completely settling into their treatment. ❤️

Another visit to Arundel Riding for the Disabled

I headed back to RDA this week to treat four of their lovely horses, including two who I’ve had the pleasure of treating previously.

As always, they were all absolute sweethearts to work with. Two of the horses were showing quite a bit of soreness and tension when I assessed them, but it was lovely to see such a noticeable improvement in their comfort following their sessions.

It’s always rewarding to see these horses relax and soften during treatment, especially knowing how much they do for the riders they support. 💛

I’m looking forward to continuing to work with these lovely horses and supporting them in feeling their best.

🐴 A lovely follow-up with this sweet girl 💛

A couple of weeks ago I met this beautiful mare who was showing some soreness through her back, along with noticeable clicking through her jaw.

She was an absolute pleasure to treat and remained calm and relaxed throughout her acupuncture session, happily standing while the needles did their thing.

I checked in with her a few days later and it was lovely to hear that the clicking had almost completely disappeared, and she also seemed much more comfortable overall.

Every horse responds differently, and there can be many reasons behind changes like these, but seeing a horse become more comfortable is always such a rewarding part of what I do.

I’m looking forward to continuing to support this lovely girl and seeing how she progresses with her young rider.

Sometimes the biggest goal is simply helping a horse feel comfortable.

I recently visited this lovely boy after he had returned from the trainer with the decision made that he would be a companion-only horse due to ongoing muscle discomfort.

During his assessment, he was particularly sensitive through his back. When a needle was placed over one of the more reactive areas, you could see an immediate response as he dipped away from the sensation.

Despite being uncomfortable, he was such a sweet and gentle boy. He never tried to kick or lash out and remained calm while the needles were in and doing their thing.

When it was time to remove one of the needles from the more reactive area, it came out in a very noticeable twisted, corkscrew shape.

Afterwards, I gave him a gentle massage over the areas treated, and the change in his expression was beautiful to see. His eyes had softened and he seemed genuinely content.

And then came my favourite part — once I finished, he wandered off and found himself a nice sandy spot for a long, happy roll. 🥰

Whether a horse is competing at the highest level or simply enjoying life as a companion, they all deserve to feel as comfortable as possible in their bodies.

Not every horse starts out loving acupuncture — and that’s okay.

Recently I treated a young horse who was having his very first acupuncture session.
As the needles were placed, some of the very tight muscles began to grab and move with them before I had even finished the treatment. Because he was quite sore through the area, he reacted by moving around, kicking out, and trying to get away. A few of the needles popped out almost immediately and came out noticeably bent, showing just how much tension those muscles were holding.

Once those needles were removed and I gave him a moment to settle, his sweet nature quickly returned. He happily accepted gentle rubbing and massage over the treated area and became much more relaxed and comfortable.

One of the loveliest parts of the session was that, despite being unsure about the needles, he spent much of the treatment standing quietly and licking my hand.

Young horses, especially those experiencing discomfort and having their first acupuncture session, can sometimes be uncertain at the beginning. Patience, reassurance, and listening to the horse are always the most important part of the process.

By the end of the session, he was back to being the calm, sweet(but also ratbag haha) young horse his owner knows so well.

A lovely afternoon catching up with two previous client horses last week.

This sweet boy was back for a follow-up after a recent treatment for tight hindquarter muscles, which had helped him a lot. Since starting a little more work, he was feeling tense through his back, particularly around the saddle area.

He was once again an absolute gentleman, spending most of the session quietly resting, and a few of his needles even came out completely curved, showing just how much tension those muscles had been holding.

His paddock mate was a beautiful retired older girl who was a little tense to begin with, but she mostly just seemed to enjoy the whole session. By the end she was relaxed, soft and very happy to be pampered with a gentle massage afterwards. 💛

It’s always so rewarding to see horses settle into their treatments in different ways — some completely switch off and rest, while others simply enjoy the attention and comfort.
