7.11.24 Behind the Scenes with Sue Palmer, The Horse Physio

By Sue Palmer on November 7, 2024

As a Chartered Physiotherapist, I’ve spent years focusing on equine care, but now I'm turning some of that dedication back to treating people in my Stafford-based clinic. I’m deeply passionate about understanding how sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management impact our bodies' incredible ability to heal. My goal is not just to live well but to thrive for the long haul—hopefully until 107, as I jokingly tell my son—without being a burden on loved ones. Along this journey, I continue to learn and adapt, seeking insights from inspiring podcasts like Feel Better, Live More. If you have your own health wisdom to share, I’d love to hear from you. Together, we can keep growing toward healthier, more vibrant lives!

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

By Sue Palmer on October 24, 2024

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.

You know that feeling when you watch something that conjures up emotions so powerful you will remember it for the rest of your life? The film "Horses and the Science of Harmony" is one of those... This full-length feature film examines the nature of harmony between horse and rider through the eyes of 3-day event rider Bubby Upton through the lens of cutting-edge science. Horses and the Science of Harmony tells the emotional story of Bubby Upton, a rising star in British 3-day eventing, who suffered a catastrophic spinal injury yet bravely fought to get back to doing what she loves… riding.
