Thank you 💐

I am truly overwhelmed by the lovely messages, love, kindness, flowers and gifts everyone has shown me on the recent loss of both Alfie and Buddy.

In my darkest hours (and there's been a lot) this really helps me out of my utter despair and sadness ❤️

I am so blessed to have such a great support system of family, friends and my clients who are my friends and we share the good and bad times.

My heart is broken but full of the love and support you have all shown me.

Thank you so much, you will never know how much this really means to me and has helped me press on this week 🙏❤️

The hardest post to write, my beautiful Buddy, my absolute heart dog 'Mummy's little Prince' has passed 🕊️

He rallied and rallied until his little body could no longer go on. He has always had complex health issues and has single handily cleared out my savings account! And I would have paid anything to have got this lovely little fella right.

The last couple of weeks have been so difficult for him and he was always such a good boy at the vets and we really thought he was pulling through and made such progression this week. But he took a turn for the worse over the weekend and last night I had to take him to the emergency vet and help him to be more comfortable on his journey over the rainbow 🌈 bridge.

He was such a good boy and the most loving westie I have ever had. Always by my side and 'spooned' me every night in bed, whilst taking up at least two thirds of the bed!!! I will miss him being by my side and miss his love and energy so much, the loss is unbearable 💔

Horse Riders, Owners & Loaners ... this is for you 👇

If you spend your days looking after horses, it’s very easy to forget about looking after yourself. ❤️🐴

The riding is only part of it…

There’s the heavy haynets, mucking out, lifting water troughs, carrying feed, dragging equipment around and then getting in the saddle for hours. Add in an old injury, a bad back or the occasional tumble and it’s no wonder so many riders end up feeling stiff, sore and achy.

And honestly… how long have you been putting it off?

INDIBA® therapy for riders is designed to help support recovery, reduce muscle tension and stiffness, improve mobility and get you feeling more comfortable in your own body again.

At my Canterbury-based clinic, I combine INDIBA® therapy with sports massage, tailoring each treatment to what you actually need.

Because you spend so much time looking after your horse ... now it’s time to look after you.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. ❤️

A truly heartfelt Thank You 🙏❤️

As many of you will know I lost my ❤️horse Alfie less than two weeks ago and it shattered me. I had to cancel many appointments as I just couldn't hold it together enough to treat, so thank you to all those who i had to cancel their Physio at short notice, that were all very patient and gracious 🙏

Over the past week, my beautiful Westie, Buddy (yes my absolute soul mate, my ❤️ dog, but don't tell the other two) has become unwell with initially a respiratory infection and now we appear to have some hind end / hind limb / FCE / spinal issue ... or weakness or what we don't know!

Many trips to the vets, who have been amazing and Rob at VetShack has managed to wave his magic wand and revived him! Buddy is such a fighter and keeps rallying! So yet again, I have had to let so many people down with their Physio appointments and I am so very sorry 😢.

It's really difficult being a 'one man band' and I have to let so many people down in a single day when I can't practice. I can't move the work/ treatment to someone else! It's just me!

I don't think we are out of the woods with Buddy and each day or even each hour brings another set of concerns! I can't remember when I last slept well without monitoring him or timing and counting his respiratory rate, or taking his heart rate and sticking a thermometer up his bottom 🌡️! Poor lad!

So I just wanted to reach out to each and everyone who has been super amazing, and kind, and generous with their time and patience when I have had to make that call to cancel their Physio, as I navigate Buddy's health.

So Sorry and Thank you 🙏 ❤️

Thank you 🙏

Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, kindness and condolences on the tragic passing of my beautiful Alfie.

This means so much to me as I struggle to cope with this huge loss.

Huge apologies to all those that I had to cancel their appointments. To be able to treat, whether animals or humans, you have to have a clear mind and a good energy... unfortunately I had neither! I am sad, really sad, and my eyes won't stop leaking 😢! I know this will pass but just at the minute it's really hard!

Thank you once again and thank you for your patience 🙏❤️

RIP my beautiful Alfie 🕊️🌈

I am beyond devastated to have lost my absolute heart horse tonight, my beautiful coloured Alfie. A night I didn't expect and I didn't expect to lose Alfie before Bay, my lovely 35yo. But tonight the universe was cruel to him and I.

It's stupid O'clock and I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep cos when I close my eyes I just see Alfie.

My heart actually hurts, and I will never have another horse like him. Beautiful inside and out. An absolute rock, a pleasure to hack out, bomb proof and not a plod - but just THE BEST horse you or anyone could ever want. The manners of a saint and he just had such a lovely energy about him that everyone that met him just loved him. He was a great people horse and loved people (obviously on the hope that they be carrying treats). Even at the end he just wanted recovery mash, which he adored. So cruel and unjust to be taken from us today. The hardest decision I have ever had to make.

My journey with horses, I fear is coming to an end and I have no idea of how to cope. Horses are my life, my passion, my career, my reason to get up out of bed everyday... and now ... just so heartbroken 💔

I don't know how Bay will cope now and at the minute he seems settled in his stable, but tomorrow...?

I regret working all the time (to afford horses) and not spending enough time with him - but I loved him so, so much. Horse of a lifetime and now, how a few hours can change your life and now he is gone, life will never be the same again.

Spend as much time with your horses as you can and hug them just a little more and just be present with them.

Just love this video of him, only taken a few weeks ago, looking fabulous and excited about new grass ❤️
