24.10.24 Behind the Scenes with Sue Palmer The Horse Physio: Life, Learning and Love

Sometimes, as horse owners, we feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there, especially when it comes to recognising pain in our horses. One message I received recently really hit home: "Sometimes, as an amateur, I find the information on recognising pain in horses intimidating and worrying. I feel like I'm not good enough." I understand this feeling all too well. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, and I experience it myself daily—learning something new every day that makes me wish I’d known it sooner. But that’s part of the journey. We do our best with the knowledge we have at any given moment. My hope is that the information I share, whether through my books, blogs, or videos, helps you feel empowered rather than discouraged. We’re all learning together, and none of us has all the answers. My goal is to help, and I’m always open to learning from others, too. So, if you ever feel unsure or want to share your thoughts, please reach out. Together, we can continue making the world a better place for horses by recognising and addressing their needs—one step, and one lesson, at a time.
