🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎 WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎

In my area, it is very common for me to see a horse at a yard with upward fixation of the patella, and as soon as I start asking about the horse, I am told not to worry, they will grow out of it...

How can it be? An abnormal joint functioning will have a MASSIVE impact on the entire body, especially if it is present for months at a time.

In this weeks blog I dive into what happens, why it happens, and what we can do about it!

Walking - the single most beneficial gait for the horse.

If I had to choose only one thing I could do with my horses it would be taking them for a walk. This overly simple task is often forgotten as a supremely potent tool in the metaphorical kit.

A wild horse may walk between 100-150km on a given day. The equine body is designed for low impact, long distance movement, with short bursts of high intensity (think power) sprinkled in. Every single system in the body is dependent on the locomotion of walking.

If the horse does not get this natural movement, EVERY SINGLE DAY, the systems begin to breakdown. Of course it is difficult to replicate this level of mileage in domestic life but we must try to honor the physiology to the best of our ability.

Recovering from injury? Struggling with metabolic issues? Experiencing training pains? Transitioning to barefoot? Pesky hoof pathologies? Digestive inflammation? Boredom? Depression? - TAKE YOUR HORSE FOR A WALK!!

Of equal importance, refrain from loading up on expensive and tedious bandaid that only mask symptoms. Instead of lining the pockets of big brand companies, make a long term, high interest investment in your horse (which is also free!) and just get them out moving in nature.

📸 yesterday with Waco at the pond which was an 8km roundtrip. As he approaches his late 30s, these regular walks have become vital in promoting longevity and quality of life 💫

This shift in weight distribution may be a good reason to do some hillwork or find an incline to go up.

It may also be a reason to stay on the flat!

This is just one factor that changes when going up hill...more changes tomorrow!

So I’ve finally managed to sit down after a couple of busy days and share with everyone my new logo and branding - I’ve been itching to get it on here since receiving the completed images yesterday!

I can’t recommend Evie Francesca Design Studio enough! A very personable service and a very high standard of work too!

All done after a long day of good views , a huge variety of horses with a variety of presentations, all four seasons worth of weather (this job is never boring!) and a late night visit to a neglected and grumpy Blue! (Don’t worry, he’s mine!). 🏞🐎☀️💨🌧

There’s a few appointments left in March and plenty throughout April, please get in touch if if you want to book on for an assessment and threatment.

Shane.
