Everyone meet Gryff!😍

I visit Gryff routinely to ensure he is in tip top condition for his agility competitions and training. It’s super important for competition dogs to have a little check over every once in a while to make sure they’re performing at their very best!

Here’s what Gryff’s owner Lauren, had to say about their journey so far!☺️

“Gryff and I started agility training at Freymor Dogs back in 2023 with the intention of learning something new and having a bit of fun but we both quickly became hooked!

Agility is such a fun way of improving a dogs physical and mental fitness, it gives the dog a sense of purpose and it's also a great way to improve the bond and partnership between the dog and it's owner.

We started competing at Kennel Club shows last August and we have won up from Grade 1 to Grade 3 in that time which is very exciting! 😁🐾”

What an amazing day learning all about the use and application of equine kinesiology tape!🤓🐎

Kinesiology tape has various benefits for our horses, and has the ability to assist with:

• Decompressing tissue
• Enhancing circulation
• Increasing range of motion
• Decreasing pain and inflammation
• Activating and relaxing muscles
• Stabilising joints
• Improving proprioception

I will now be offering kinesiology tape as part of my physiotherapy toolkit, which will enable me to further support your horses in their rehabilitation or competition journeys 🤩

A big thank you to for organising such a great CPD. I couldn’t recommend Denise enough!

Another big thank you to Catterick Garrison Saddle Club, and the gorgeous Paddy, who was an absolute saint throughout the day😍🤩

Oliver aka Oliver’s Hill!🐎

Oliver is an ex-racehorse and is a regular client of mine who absolutely adores his massages more than any horse I’ve ever known! The sweetest boy with the best personality.

Make sure to check the comments below to see a little clip of him in action!🐎

Here’s what his lovely owner, Lily, had to say about him!😍

“Oliver also known as Oliver’s Hill to the race community, was a National Hunt, who started racing in 2013 at grand age of 4. Throughout the years, Oliver grew sour of racing and finished his career in 2021. He ended up in a sanctuary for ex-racers, not in the best condition - I instantly fell in love with his sale post.

Throughout the years, we’ve had our ups and downs with injuries (typical TB) but I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend. Always brightening up a bad day, making me laugh getting into feed bins, opening his own gate, the list goes on… the funniest and cheekiest horse I’ve met as well as extremely intelligent.

17 going on 4, he’s loves turning up the field, running around at 100mph daily with the occasional jumping of a stone wall. He truly has a life of luxury!”

✨February was a good month for CPD!✨

I attended the Horses Inside Out Conference, with the theme of Soundness and Symmetry being the main focus of this years event.

It was a great weekend catching up with fellow physio friends, and hearing world-renowned researchers discuss their investigations from new literature from their respective specialities!

Knowledge is power!🤓🐴

A firm favourite exercise that I love giving my clients! Simple yet so effective 🤩🤩

The Wither Rock is a gentle and effective mobilising exercise for the whole body.

It is good for stimulating the core muscles, particularly the thoracic sling, strengthening the forelimb lateral stabiliser muscles that support the limbs when turning and moving sideways.

With your horse standing square.
💠 Stand facing the left shoulder, with your shoulders parallel to the horse’s spine.
💠 Do a personal postural check, ensure you have no tension in your shoulders or arms and take a couple of deep breaths.
💠 Place both hands cupping the top of the withers and take a moment to allow the horse to get used to your touch.
💠 Imagine the movement first and build up slowly from there.
💠 Gently push the withers away from you by about 1cm initially then allow the withers to return to the neutral position before pulling them back towards you by about 1cm then release again.
💠 Repeat this swaying movement in a natural rhythm. The side-to-side movement of the withers should be continuous and flowing. Don’t try to hold his weight in one position.
💠 Gradually increase the amount of sideways movement but only as the horse relaxes into the movement.

Build up from 20 sways remembering to repeat the same number of push-pull cycles from each side.

👀 As you are doing this exercise watch your horse, he may try to communicate that he wants more or when he would like you to stop.
