🏇 This applies to horse and rider! You know when you were a child and you pulled a face. And your mother would say if you do that for too long your face will stick like that! Similar happens to your muscles when a movement is repeatedly used. The muscle resting length will change to be ready for the movement. 🐎 Muscle use will dictate its resting length. So if the horse is constantly ridden with the neck shortened, the musculature will adapt to that, as sadly, that’s where it’s getting repeatedly used. ⚠️ But remember, this is affecting the horse’s entire body! As these changes are not just happening at the neck. The whole body has to rearrange. Aches and pains and injury in riders. Unexplained lamenesses and gait abnormalities can be from patterns of change that lead to altered posture. From the movements the individual horse or rider gets. ⚖ Getting a variety of movements is important in your day. To develop the body as a whole and to maintain balance. We should look at our own and the horse’s daily movement and lifestyle as body maintenance to keep it working to its best. As the body is highly adaptable. Want to learn how to restore your body’s alignment. Build good foundations that will help your body, movement, riding and your horse?

LET ME TEACH YOU!! Do you have a horse with some hind end soreness around the lumbosacral region? This is a common problem I see in client horses and love to share some tips with owners to help relieve soreness between sessions! Check out these 2 past video posts for massage and taping instructions: MASSAGE LUM/SI https://fb.watch/kJIuO40JYr/?mibextid=cr9u03 TAPE LUMBAR AND SI https://fb.watch/kJIsPzQUeA/?mibextid=cr9u03 Some of the most common reasons for this area being sore could be: +saddle fit +hind hoof angles +postural compensation +hock or stifle issues 👆🏼often these issues are compensation for each other and this is important to understand how to recognize. Check out the free previews of my Compensation Patterns Class: https://sbw-owners-massage.thinkific.com/courses/compensation-patterns #beyourhorsesadvocate #equinebodyworkeducator #equineinjuryprevention

MASSAGE + SOFT TISSUE LENGTH I find it hard to convince people that massage can have the same muscle lengthening effects on horses as it can humans… So I’m always excited to share a study the proves it “scientifically”. If you’d like to read it👇🏼: The relationship between massage to the equine caudal hindlimb muscles and hindlimb protraction https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21059081/ I’d also like to encourage you to think about bodywork as a preventative measure to keep our horses bodies in balance so that they can live longer, happier lives🤍 Domestically kept horses tend to live in environments that create what the horse would consider “stressors”-and that results in tension. Tension can wreak havoc on the whole horse-but bodywork can provide many preventative benefits that will reduce if not eliminate the results of tension. Bodywork is awesome! Your horse will benefit from it. Learning to do it yourself is a skill that can improve your awareness of your horses body and strengthen your bond🫶🏻 #beyourhorsesadvocate #equineinjuryprevention #equinemaintainence #equinebodyworkeducator

BODIES IN MOTION STAY IN MOTION If you stood in one place for an extended period of time your back and legs would be sore, right? Our horses are no different. The more WE move and stay active the better we feel. Our horses are no different. Providing opportunities for your horses to move as much as possible and alongside friends provides the cheapest overall health benefits there are! Muscles and joints work better when they’re moving-it’s how they stay lubricated and healthy. Equine organs function better when the body is moving more, it encourages better respiration, circulation, digestion and more! Equine mental wellness is optimal when they’re able to make the choices to move freely with friends. Happy minds make for healthy bodies.

BOOTS ➕BANDAGES DO THEY HELP ❌OR HARM One things for sure-they’re popular, cute and fun to be all matchie-matchie with! ….BUT are they helping?? 🧐Most vet articles say no-but we see them EVERYWHERE so let’s talk about it! While a good boot may provide (minimal and short term) support when used during short competition times-they need to come off immediately after so the leg can BREATHE 💨 🔥HEAT🔥 ⭐️Boots/bandages trap a lot of heat-legs generate quite a bit of heat during work and need to cool often! ⭐️Very few boots and NO bandages allow the tendons and ligaments to breathe adequately. That much heat can actually cause tendon and ligament DAMAGE. ⭐️We want to avoid injury-so consider the purpose of your boots and decide if you’re using them the best way possible to reduce the risk of injury by using them. 🥾 it is estimated that neoprene sport boots begin breaking down after 30 rides, providing less support with each ride. 🌀consider a lower leg support tape instead!! The application can be reapplied as needed and provide consistent support every time. Tape can be worn under boots for added support but… 🤗ps-you don’t need them and you can get tape in ALL THE COLORS for matchie-matchie fun!! I’m happy to send you video instructions on how to apply this application!! 📧 [email protected] 📑A few research articles: https://equimanagement.com/.amp/articles/horse-skin-temperature-under-boots-after-exercise https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8f15/0ea480edca142260d01f419f80d2e7e7fb29.pdf http://www.asbweb.org/conferences/1990s/1998/59/index.html #knowbetterdobetter #equineinjuryprevention #equinekinesiologytaping

ALL HORSES ARE ATHLETES Athletes experience muscle pain. That pain-left alone creates a cycle of uncomfortable symptoms and unhealthy behaviors that affect the whole body and all of its systems. 🔄▪️🔄▪️🔄▪️🔄▪️🔄▪️🔄▪️🔄 Pain➡️tension. Tense muscles➡️less circulation. Reduced circulation➡️inflammation Inflammation➡️reduced movement Horses that experience a constant pain cycle will become “behavioral”. Don’t ignore this. Investigate why and strive to provide relief. It all starts with creating an environment that allows as much natural movement as possible. No matter what your horses “fitness” is, allowing them free movement and friends as often as possible WILL reduce this cycle occurrence. Movement ↔️ Health Massage will assist in pain cycle interruption. Pain will influence the entire horse, mind and body. Massage will provide: Pain relief Increased circulation Decreased inflammation More comfortable movement Whether you provide professional bodywork for your horse or learn to do it yourself-your athlete will be better for it!!

There are many causes that I would like to share with you! 😍 This is a review from one lovely course participant! I’m on a mission to empower you with valuable insights and skills to help your horse’s body. 🕵️‍♀️ I’ve gathered key factors for injury and pain prevention in every aspect of your horse’s life and condensed them into a guide for you! Drawing from my 25 years of experience as a therapist. Want to learn more about your horse’s movement, conformation, soundness, observation, palpation, repetitive strain and how to enhance wellness.

COMPENSATION SORENESS “It’s not always what it seems” When our horses present soreness or lameness, we often assume it’s coming from the area of the body where visible symptom(s) are presenting. EXAMPLES Hoof or Distal Limb Lameness -abscess -laminitis -navicular -fracture -arthritic flare IF any of these issues are occurring and presenting unilaterally, chances are the “symptoms” are presenting in the compensating limb. Neck & Shoulder Area Lameness -scapular dysfunction -neck/shoulder arthritis -chiropractic misalignment It’s NOT uncommon for a horse to present a lameness unilaterally in a front limb-diagonally for a hind end issue. Lumbar/SI, Hind End Lameness -hind end weakness -stifle dysfunction -chiropractic misalignment FIT HORSES carry 60+% of their body weight on the front end(all 4 legged animals do). When they are experiencing a hind end issue they will compensate on the front end increasing that percentage significantly and can present as an “issue” in the front. Moral of the story… Don’t allow yourself to only focus on the presenting symptom(s). Think about potential compensation patterns as a process of elimination to narrow down the actual issue at hand. Check out my online class about Compensation Patterns! https://sbw-owners-massage.thinkific.com/courses/compensation-patterns #equinebodywork #equinebodyworkeducator #equineinjuryprevention #helpingpeoplehelphorses

🏇 You are how you move! This applies to horse and rider. 🐎 Muscle use will dictate it's resting length. So if the horse is constantly ridden with the neck shortened, the musculature will adapt to that as sadly that's where it's getting it's most use. ⚠️But remember this is effecting the horse's entire body! Unexplained lamenesses and gait abnormalities can be from the patterns of change from poor movement. Repetitive strain in an area has a knock on detrimental effect to the rest of the body. ⚖Getting a wide range of movement is important. To develop the body as a whole and to maintain balance. 🤔And then we should look at our own and the horse's daily movement and lifestyle as body maintenance, to keep it working to it's optimum. Want to learn more about your horse’s movement and ways to prevent injury?

😫 Feel like it’s one problem after the next with your horse? Ive met thousands of horse owners in my 25 years as a human and equine therapist. Ive often heard; 👉 I am so unlucky. It’s one problem after the next. 👉 Why does this happen to me? I do everything I can to look after my horse when other people don’t seem to and they don’t have injured horses. 👉 Some days my horse would struggle to do something, but then others they seemed okay. 👉 This injury literally came from nowhere! 👉 The horse was working the best they have ever worked and bam, this injury arrived from nowhere. 👉 I kept thinking something wasn’t right, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. When often luck has nothing to do with it. There are so many factors that affect the horse’s movement and health. And many of them silently and gradually build. That’s why I put my new course together. To empower you, the horse owner, to have more control over your horse’s health and soundness. So you can gain confidence in nurturing and maintaining your horse’s body. Covering movement, conformation, injury prevention, observation, and palpation. Empower yourself as a horse owner.

⁉️DID YOU KNOW?⁉️ ⚠️It’s SUPER important to massage your horses legs to promote circulation to the lower limb?! ❓WHY❓ because horses do NOT have any muscles below the knee(carpus)-only tendons and ligaments! 🔺because there’s no muscles there’s less vascular activity contributing to less circulation. 🔺warming up the lower leg as much as possible prior to “work” is super important and pretty easy to do with some simple massage! ✖️check back on Wednesday for a massage video! 📍MUSCLE FACTS 💢Extensor Carpi Obliques 💢Extensor Digitorum Communis 💢Ulnaris Lateralis all extend the knee(carpus) and some of the last muscles of the leg. ⚠️LOWER LIMB INJURY RATES the most common lameness in working horses is the Distal Front Limb. ✖️80% below the fetlock. ✖️these can be secondary to soft tissue damage up higher. ⚠️INJURY COST AND RECOVERY ✖️the average lower limb injury costs $430 ✖️the average recovery is 110 days ‼️these injuries can be greatly reduced my ensuring the tendons and ligaments are adequately warmed up before asking for work! https://sbw-owners-massage.thinkific.com/bundles/leg-massage-taping-bundle #equineinjuryprevention #knowbetterdobetter

✖️BODYWORK➕HOOF ISSUES✖️ ➰Healthy hoofs are super important to overall body health. ➰If your horse has unbalanced hoofs, it WILL cause an unbalanced body and associated soreness. Proper and adequate farrier/trimmer services are #1. 🤠Owner Maintenance: ➕Proper cleanliness can help keep many hoof issues at bay. ➕Frequent hoof cleaning is a MUST. ➕Picking as often as possible, followed by a soft wire brush to be sure all nooks and crannies are clean. ➕A preventative spray bottle such as Zinc Sulfate/Water(2tbsp-mixed with water) or Apple Cider Vinegar/Water(50/50) 🤠Thrush Prevention/Treatment: ➰Thrush is a sneaky problem that can be a real pain to get rid of. ➰Center Sulcus Thrush in particular: ➕This is where the back of the frog, between the heel bulbs opens up and creates what looks like a “butt crack”. ➕Allowing for bacteria to enter the tissues and create and infection that can cause pain-causing hoof landing compensation-causing limb and body soreness. 🤠Here’s a few of my go-to ways to treat and prevent Thrush: ➕2 tbsp of Zinc Sulfate mixed with water in a standard size water bottle.✔️Sprayed directly on the hoof into all cracks and crevices-to keep areas clean and disinfected. ➕40% zinc oxide cream/baby rash ointment. ✔️Lather the frog and all cracks, crevices, grooves as a sticky barrier to keep bacteria out. ✔️If you have a deep “butt crack” use a sliver of cotton to keep it in place. ➕Artimud by Red Horse Products Another great option for packing the hoof and keeping bacteria out. This is my absolute go-to during the wet season. 🤠I'm happy to refer to hoof care professionals should you ever need one! #hoofcare #happyhoofs #equineinjuryprevention

Do you stretch your horse after work? Maintaining suppleness while strengthening is an important balance. A muscle that does not have the ability to sufficiently relax and stretch, will change your horse’s biomechanics and potentially lead to strain in other areas of the body. This can lead to unnecessary injury.

🏇 Horse and rider injuries that seem to materialize from nowhere. Ive met many owners who believe they have fallen victim to this. 🔍 Observation is key in your own and the horse’s life as many injuries are avoidable. 🏇 Rider injury does not have as many influences as within the horse’s life. But it has many you probably never considered! 👊 We Equestrians are known for grit, determination, and sometimes just brushing off those niggles and powering through. You shouldn’t be stuck in a cycle of repeated pain. It’s not a weakness to take care of yourself and prevent the premature wear of your joints. It's simpler and quicker than you realize, and both you and your horse will thank you for it! Your posture also affects the horse’s movement options. We directly influence the way their body builds! 💻 Are you an equestrian who works online? lots of small repetitive movements, sitting and stillness wreaking havoc with your posture and riding. Maybe causing a variety of aches and pains. From Screen Time to Saddle Time online course out now!

NEVER IGNORE PAIN BEHAVIORS ps. most negative behaviors are pain behaviors. Horses are masters of disguising pain because they are hard wired not to show weakness. Chances are by the time we notice “pain” it’s been happening a while and is likely creating a pain cycle: PAIN the symptoms of discomfort will become visible or evident. MUSCLE TENSION the body tenses muscularly as a result of bracing against pain. REDUCED CIRCULATION tense, compressed muscles are getting less circulation. MUSCLE INFLAMMATION reduced circulation results in inflammation of the muscles, soft tissues and even joints in surrounding areas. REDUCED MOVEMENT over time heathy/normal movement will reduce and result in less fitness, poor performance, and compensation patterns -that may cause pain in other areas, starting the whole cycle over in other parts of the body. To prevent those cycle from becoming viscous, always be aware of your horses normal and abnormal behaviors. Be mindful at the first sight of “dysfunction” and get to the bottom of it sooner than later. Providing preventative measures such as bodywork for your horse(s) is a great way to keep horses bodies happy and healthy! #equinepaincycle #equineinjuryprevention #equinebodyworkeducator

Don’t be afraid to ask questions! This is really the only way that anyone learns anything new or how any positive change happens. Yet for some reason it’s something the horse community is leery of doing for fear of “disrespecting” the way someone has {always} done things. Progress is constant and true perfection in method is never really achieved BECAUSE it is built upon and improved on by people who are willing to investigate and experiment. When it comes to our horses, WE are their biggest advocates. We are completely responsible for them and their well being. If ANY service or methodology being used on your horse has you questioning ANYTHING, don’t be afraid to speak up and ask the person involved about it. You don’t have to be questioning if it is being done correctly or not, it’s fine just to question WHY it’s being done that way, how else are you supposed to learn? I see far too many people tolerating less than the best they can give their horses or not knowing why something is being done for fear of hurting someone’s feelings, insulting them, or fracturing a relationship. ☝🏼NO ONE that you’re paying for a service should ever make you feel ANY of those things. Ask the questions! I am always happy to answer any question or concern my clients have about just about anything, and in a case where I don’t know an answer, I will find it out for them, and then I’m continuing to learn new things as well! This is how we build a community. A supportive one that has the horse’s interests first! #beyourhorsesadvocate #equinewellness #equineinjuryprevention #equinebodyworker #kellyequineservices

🌟ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO DO THINGS THAT FEED YOUR SOUL! At age 36, I decided to pursue a dream I had as a kid of “working with horses”. I had no idea what it was going to look like but I stepped towards it with an open mind and open heart for horses well being. Providing relieving bodywork to animals is a joy all of its own-but teaching others about it and inspiring them to learn more for themselves or as a new career has been the best part of my journey so far. I could fill my news feed with messages from clients, owners, students and fellow therapists sharing their discoveries, successes and even failures from what I’ve been able to share with them-but I’ll spare you all my mushy thoughts on that💜 Just one example for today: My cousin Ashley has left the world of education and decided to pursue self employment as an Equine Massage Therapist. I have always admired her passion for learning, teaching and just plain caring-so I had no doubt that she would be great at this, but she has far surpassed my expectations. Her passion to learn more inspires me and I look forward to having her as my right hand as she grows her business! If anyone has reached out to me over the last year and been told I’m full-I’ll be happy to refer you to Ashley. I decided a few years ago I would shift my mindset to-striving to help as many horses and horse people as I could and not make it financial goals alone…it was a game changer. Adding value will never leave you sorry. You’ll learn more by sharing with others than you will concentrating on getting paid for your time. Are you looking for more? Would you like to learn how to provide this for your horses? As a business? I’d love to share with you-just reach out💜 #addingvalue #itsnevertoolate #equinebodyworkeducator #letmeteachyou #equineinjuryprevention #equinewellness #neverstoplearning #nevertoolatetostartover

SBW took some much needed time off this week to work on developing some new online education offerings! Keep an 👀 out this Fall for these new classes: 🌱INTRO TO EQUINE TRACK LIVING SYSTEMS 🐎UNDERSTANDING HOOF & BODY 🔁COMPENSATION PATTERNS When I started SBW I really thought that I would just spend the rest of my days rubbing and loving on horses and boy was I wrong! I still get to do all the rubbing and loving BUT it has taken me down a path of learning that I’m compelled to teach others about. Horses are inherently compensatory creatures ESPECIALLY if their environment doesn’t support them appropriately. As I study why their bodies do what they do-I can’t avoid better understanding why. As a massage therapist, my goal is to find the cause of soreness or compensation. I need to be able to explain to owners these things and often find there’s a knowledge gap. We are all advocates for the horses in our care and in order to do so, we have to keep learning. Along with my professional level education classes I’m building a library of resources for pros and owners alike to learn about specific topics at affordable prices. SBW will offer an entire library of classes for $50 and less! These 3 new classes are in the works and there’s a great list of classes already there! https://sbw-owners-massage.thinkific.com/collections Thanks to everyone who encourages and inspires me to keep learning and sharing💜 #beteachable #youllneverknowitall #equineinjuryprevention #beyourhorsesadvocate #equinebodyworkeducator

🏇 The rider's position and the way they use their body affects the horse. 🤔 More than you may have realise. Your riding can aid your horse’s health and longevity and lessen the risk of wear and tear injuries. 🚶 I have often heard rider's joke about they take care of their horse's but not themselves. But It is really important we as riders do take care of ourselves as we have such a big effect on the horse's movement, development and health. My new course Screen Time to Saddle time can help equestrians who work on a computer all day. Packed with strategies and exercises to help your body, your riding and your horse! Link in bio or write COURSE below more info⬇ #riderbiomechanics #horseridingtips #horseriderproblems #movementspecialist #equinewelfare #equinetherapist #ridingcoach #riderbiomechanicscoach #refinedriding #samanthahulme #equestrianlife #horsebackriding #equestriansofinstagram #instahorse #horselife #equestrianlife #horseriders #equestrains #horsemanship #equineinjury #equineinjuryprevention #horseriderlife #riderposition #rideralignment #dressagetips #horseriddin #horseback

The number one thing that I learned during my massage therapy training is to pay attention to what is causing the symptoms. Massage CAN be a pampering service to spoil your horse with and there’s not a thing wrong with that.. BUT if you’re looking to actually minimize or be rid of the symptoms you’re seeking massage therapy for you have to be open to hearing what the possible contributing factors are and then, if possible, changing them. If no change is made, then massage therapy will just act as a bandaid over the symptoms your horse is experiencing. They will continue to return until you stop what is causing the issue. Over time those issues are likely to become bigger problems, and even potential injuries. I don’t say ANY of this to make anyone feel bad but rather to encourage being open to learning new and better ways to keep our horses happier! If you keep doing what you’re doing, you will keep getting the same results. #preventativebodywork #equineinjuryprevention #equinemassagetherapy #thehorsefirst #happyhorses #kellyequineservices

T O ➕R I D E➕O R➕N O T Before or after a massage session?! ➕If a horse has a daily exercise/training routine-I recommend it be done before a massage session. ➕A light short ride after-if before isn’t possible is ok. ➕If a horse is primarily stalled-they will get better benefits from their session if they are at least hand walked for 5-10 minutes prior and turned out after. ➕General turnout prior to massage is great and encouraged after. ➕Just like humans-movement is encouraged after bodywork, just not vigorously. ➕The way massage encourages the body’s systems to heal and remove waste will continue after IF we keep moving. IF we don’t, we are more likely to get sore and maybe even feel a little sluggish. 💜Best practice would be to give your horse a nice day “off” just being a horse on massage day. Turnout with a friend(s), some extra hay and water will provide the best opportunity for best results. #equinemassagetherapist #equineathletes #equineinjuryprevention #equinerecovery #equineperformance

Equine injury, I have met many horse owners frustrated with the recurrent injuries their horse incurs. And many horses who have appeared to have injuries that have come from nowhere! When the extent of the injury was diagnosed, there were no potential causes mentioned. 🔍 Prevention is key and so many injuries are avoidable. You have to become like a detective in your horse’s life. 🏇 Rider injury, now this does not have as many influences as within the horse’s life. But we have the equestrians mind to get past. A tough crowd known for ignoring pain! You shouldn’t be stuck in a cycle of repeated pain. It’s not a weakness to take care of yourself and prevent the premature wear of your joints. And it doesn’t have to be difficult! Your posture also affects the horse’s movement options when riding. And so we directly influence the way their body builds! 💻 Are you an equestrian who works online? lots of small repetitive movements, sitting and stillness wreaking havoc with your posture and riding.

🟪DOES MY HORSE “NEED” MASSAGE OR CHIRO 🟣I get asked this question frequently. ✔️The short answer is always YES they all need it but let me explain: *️⃣not all bodywork serves the same purpose and not all horses “need” all of it. ✔️there is a big difference between muscle and joint bodywork-massage v. chiropractic ◾️Massage is dealing with soft tissues like muscles and fascia with the hands and through the use of tools such as GuaSha/scraping blades or Cupping. ◾️Chiropractic deals with the joint alignment beneath the muscles. In my opinion these 2 forms of bodywork are the most important. The success of each of them can be dependent on the other. ❌tight muscles will pull a horse out of alignment and misalignment will cause tight sore muscles… ‼️with that 👆🏼said-not all horses require both BUT they should both be checked regularly and then which type the horse seems to benefit from more or less should be provided accordingly. I am happy to help you with massage, refer you to a therapist if I can’t get to you and suggest great Chiros on both sides of the river! Never hesitate to reach out-I’m always available to help!! #helpingpeoplehelphorses #understandingequinebodywork #equineinjuryprevention #holisticequine

Hard ground - the risks and a splashing alternative! As horse/pony owners, we're constantly thinking of ways to add variety to their weekly routines. 😊 And for those of you who are competing at the moment, including our fellow eventers out there, that variety may come in the form of training and practising all three disciplines on a surface, as well as on grass. Now although we're thoroughly enjoying a break from the winter mud, we all know the challenges this harder ground presents us with, such as increasing the risk of concussion-type leg injuries and slipping... One fantastic alternative way of adding variety to your horse/pony's routine while giving them a full-body workout in a non-concussive environment is on our water treadmill. The water creates a gentle resistance, increasing the muscular effort required to move joints without excess force, and we can alter water levels and speeds at any point during a session enabling a totally bespoke experience! You can either incorporate sessions on our treadmill into stays here at Bowland, or book them individually and drop by for day visits with your best friend... Simply send us a message or call 07901 743 935 to talk to us. 💦 #equinetreadmill #watertreadmillforhorses #equestrianfacilities #equinetherapyuk #horserehabilitation #equinefitnessandrehabilitation #equineperformance #northwestequine #horseownersuk #horseridersuk #competitionhorses #equestrianevents #eventersofinsta #horseinjuryprevention #equineinjuryprevention
