✨ Cora’s Progress! ✨

Meet Cora 💕 a 7yo, 16hh Connie x ISH who came to us after time off due to a sore back.

Cora has completed:
💦 6 water treadmill sessions
🌊 2 Sea Salt & Oxygen sessions

We started her at just 10 minutes with the water covering her feet, gradually progressing to 20 minutes at mid-cannon. We haven’t introduced the incline yet as Cora wasn’t quite ready. ❤️

The water treadmill has allowed Cora to return to exercise without the weight of a rider and saddle, while the resistance of the water encourages her to engage her core, back and hindquarters and rebuild strength around her previously sore back.

📸 The difference is already clear:
✨ Improved topline
✨ More shoulder and hindquarter muscle
✨ Better overall muscle definition
✨ A stronger, more balanced shape

A lovely example of why rehab should be progressive and tailored to each individual horse, building the foundations before asking them to carry a rider again. 🐴💪🏼❤️

Cora is seen regularly by Holly who treats her through Bowen Therapy! Highly recommend, we absolutely love Holly’s work! 🤩

Well done Cora! 🥰🤍









Happy Friday! 💖💖

🐴 LONG-REINING AFTER KISSING SPINE SURGERY 🐴

Coming back into work after Kissing Spine surgery is a gradual process, and getting the foundations right is so important. 💙

Long-Reining allows us to work on:

✨ Correct posture & way of going
💪 Rebuilding topline and core strength
🐴 Encouraging hind-end engagement
🎯 Balance, straightness & coordination
🧠 Building confidence without a rider onboard

It’s a fantastic stepping stone between groundwork and ridden work, helping the horse rebuild strength and learn to move correctly again before we add the extra demand of a rider! ❤️

Slow, correct and progressive rehabilitation is the key🤞🏼🐎💙

Super proud of spotty lady, Saffy! 💖

Just look at the difference!! 😍

📸 30/07 – 469kg
➡️ 09/08 – 446kg
23kg down! 👏🏼🔥

Saffy suffered with laminitis last year and has since been diagnosed with EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome)

Her current management:
💊 ½ Invokana tablet - (canagliflozin) is an SGLT2 inhibitor that can be prescribed by vets for horses with EMS and insulin dysregulation. It helps the body remove excess glucose through the urine, which can help reduce circulating insulin levels and improve metabolic control.
🌾 Hay at 1.75% bodyweight, soaked for 4 hours
💦 Daily 20 minute water treadmill sessions
🚶🏻‍♀️Daily walker use
🌱 Daily turnout!!

We can see a lovely reduction through her neck and barrel, with a much cleaner, lighter outline and improved muscle definition. ❤️

She’s back at the vets next Friday to check her insulin levels, so fingers crossed we see improvements there too! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Well done Saffy! 🌸💗
