Hiya guys 💜

After a pretty rough and tumultuous year, I’ve made the difficult decision to take a step back from my bodywork business.

This is not a decision I have made lightly, nor is it one that has been made rashly. Unfortunately, it’s something that has been swirling around in the back of my mind for quite some time.

I’ve been trying to push through because I have dedicated so much time, energy and love into building my business, and I truly care about every one of my clients and their beautiful horses and ponies. But the time has come for me to acknowledge that my therapist’s glass is empty.

I want to give my clients and their horses the very best of me, and right now, I need to take some time to look after myself and fill my own glass back up.

I’ll continue to see my existing and past clients, but I won’t be taking on any new clients for the foreseeable future, and I’ll also be cutting back my working days.

I really hope that with some time and space, I can come back feeling like myself again — refreshed, recharged and better than ever. 💚

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me with your horses and stuck by me. It means more than you know. 💜

Take care out there, everyone, and please remember I’m always here if anyone needs an ear. 💚🦄💜

Another Great Dental Post From YourVet ✨️🦄

There is always a reason behind what a horse does and it is never 'because I just don't want to' there will be a genuine reason behind the I don't want to or it may well be 'I can't'

Please listen to your horses, they are trying their best to communicate with you! 💚

MR T
This is the C4 cervical vertebra from Mr T, the horse featured in last week's dissection.

There is a significant amount of information available on Becks Nairn's Patreon page explaining the findings from this horse, including the detailed information behind this particular vertebra.

☆ For this post, I simply want to leave you with a thought.

If your horse struggles to flex its neck to one side, Don't assume it is being difficult.
Don't assume it is stubborn.
And please don't force the issue.

Horses that are tied head-to-tail, or pulled into stronger flexion, or repeatedly asked to work through restrictions they are clearly finding difficult.
Here may lie the reason.

Horses don't wake up in the morning and decide they don't want to bend their neck today. It's not stubbornness. It's not poor behaviour. It is resistance, yes - for a very good reason.

This cervical vertebra shows significant bony remodelling.

Use this photo as a reminder that when a horse cannot perform a movement comfortably, there may be a very real physical reason behind it.

When we use force to "work through" a problem without understanding why the resistance may exist and resort to force - you are part of the problem.

For Mr T 🩵

I bought my SportzVibe rug for Thumper many years before the start of my journey with Bowen Therapy, and although I dont use it nearly as much as I used to, I felt today was the right time to bring it back out and Thumpy certainly agreed 🥰

It's been a bit of a journey the last month and a half with the move, building the shed and everything we have had going on and I'm sure that my sensitive guy felt it too, so I'm glad we were able to slow down this morning and let out some pent up tension together 💚

What a beautiful crisp winters morning, the boys enjoyed a good grooming session whilst I got to hang out with them for more than 5min at feed times since we moved! 🥰

Just a quick read reinforcing that nothing works in isolation in a living body and how important it is to tune into your horse and not treat subtle communications from them as being naughty or needing more training... horses are master communicators, and it is our job to listen to what they are trying to tell us and then act upon it! 💚

✨️🎉 Today Marks 3 Weeks Since We Officially Sold Our Property and Moved Out To Our New Bare Block! 🎉✨️

We Sold our stunning property which had everything a horsey girl dreams of, to buy a bare block of land that had nothing except 3 very large paddocks, 3 troughs and a 1 pond!

We were fortunate enough that we had access to our bare block over summer so we got stuck into some earthworks over the Christmas break to put in the driveway and shed site, we then stumbled across our dream relocateable home 🏠😍 and got that sited earlier in the year too - although she is a biiiig job to restore her to her former glory we still love her! 🥰

So the last month or so has been a TOTAL whirlwind 🌪 we only had 2.5weeks to get packed up and moved out, which was mayhem but we got it done and then straight into building a shed for us to live in while we renovate the house! 😮‍💨

It's an exciting but slightly stressful journey but will be sooo worth it in the end! 🤩

Thanks so much to everyone that has assisted and helped us with the packing, the move and building our shed, we couldn't have done it without you all! 🥰

Don't stress we are still local to the Kaipara and Whangarei districts so my availability remains the same for all my clients 🤗

Keep an eye out as I am going to try to post regular updates of our journey! 👀

I love being able to make positive changes in horse's lives especially when they are going through something as hard as box rest 🥰

Another great body work session by Kayla at Epona Fields Equine 🙌🏽
24/7 confinement is pretty hard on a horses body, the lack of movement and decline in muscle strength is a real issue. Glad to say Reggie was starting to feel himself again after a solid treatment 💕 Thanks again Kayla!

Such A Great Visual! 👀
The body never works in isolation there are always many many interactions (nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones the all important Fascia and more!) happening throughout any movement no matter how big or small!
