“Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.” Lewis Carroll Just a second, that’s all it can take to change your life. Yesterday, I was on a yard when an accident happened. Completely unexpected, out of character, and impossible to predict. I was not involved, other than in caring for those affected. […]

By Sue Palmer on March 11, 2022

“The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.” Diogenes You would think that a foal, a yearling, a two-year-old, wouldn’t have any significant muscle spasm, or stiffness, or restriction in range of movement.

Do you have a support team you trust for your horse?

By Sue Palmer on March 6, 2022

In the best cases, professionals work together to ensure the horse is happy and healthy. Communication between trainer, vet, physio, and farrier is essential to identify a common goal and solve problems in unison. You can change professionals if you don’t feel like they are working together as a team. While professionals today generally encourage and support each other, there are still some out there who feel the need to write off the advice of others. It is up to you to put together the best team to help your horse. Don’t feel pressured by a yard to use their choices, if you have good existing relationships, you need to choose the best team for you and your horse.

Disseminating the science in a way that makes sense to me, and hopefully to you. Picking through what’s out there and doing my best to figure out what’s real and what’s […]

19.2.2022 Used But Not Abused

By Sue Palmer on February 19, 2022

We owe our horses a debt of gratitude, for without them, we would not be where we are today. They deserve our respect and understanding, no matter what the commercial or competitive pressures may be. In 2014, Roly Owers, Chief Executive of World Horse Welfare, spoke to the FEI about equestrianism’s social license to operate. […]
