28.11.2024 Behind the Scenes with Sue Palmer, The Horse Physio

Essential Tools, Expert Guidance, and a Horse’s Journey Two Things I Couldn’t Live Without Alright, “couldn’t live without” might be an exaggeration, but there are two items I rely on heavily, especially during the colder months. First is my Ororo heated gilet, a lifesaver when I’m working outdoors. I wear it under my layers, and it keeps me warm all day long. I even bought a second battery because I use it on the hottest setting! Second is my massage gun, which I’ve had for years. It’s my go-to for relieving tight muscles, whether it’s my neck, shoulders, or legs. It’s been a huge help with everything from yoga strains to heel pain. As a physio, I researched thoroughly to find the best one—and it’s worth every penny. If you’re curious, I’ve shared affiliate links to these items. They don’t cost you extra, but they help me continue recommending tools I believe in. Curious about recognising pain in horses or bit fitting? I also touch on those topics and share how the Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram helped me assess an 18-year-old mare recently. She’s on a tailored program now, focused on gentle hacking and strengthening exercises to address subtle signs of discomfort. These tools and techniques make my work more rewarding—and if you’d like to learn more about assessing your own horse’s comfort, check out my book, Harmonious Horsemanship, co-authored with Dr. Sue Dyson. Happy horsing! 🐴
