Welcoming thrives new ambassador Linda Smink who has supported me the last several months and having great results with her horse Bruce who’s been responding well to his monthly bodywork, usually we mix it up depending on how Bruce feels and what he needs but he’s a horse with a wonderful temperament and Linda’s hard work in preparing him really shows. I’m excited for you guys to get on the big island again ❤️

❄️ RECOVERY ❄️

Marshall has been brought back into work and, although he was coping fine and being the usual angel he is, we decided to give him his first cryotherapy session to support his recovery. 🐴

Cryotherapy can help speed up recovery by up to 30% compared with traditional recovery methods, making it a great addition to a horse’s post-exercise recovery routine.

The Subzero Cryotherapy device uses a medical-grade temperature sensor, helping ensure the treatment is controlled and safe, with no risk of frostbite when used correctly.

The treatment is non-invasive and uses a cold CO₂ compression spray to rapidly reduce the skin temperature in just 60 seconds, creating a “thermal shock” response.

❄️ VASOCONSTRICTION
When the temperature reaches around 10°C and below, the blood vessels constrict. This can help reduce pain and inflammation.

🔥 VASODILATION
Once spraying stops, the blood vessels expand again, encouraging increased blood flow and circulation. This can help support mobility and range of motion.

One of the great things about cryotherapy is that the process is quick and there’s no mess, ice or water involved. It doesn’t freeze tendons or ligaments, and when used correctly, it doesn’t cause muscle damage. Just like traditional ice therapy, it’s important that your horse is completely cooled down after exercise before treatment.

The difference afterwards can be amazing — horses often feel a lot more free and comfortable following treatment. 💙

And yes… it works brilliantly on humans too! 😜
