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.

“It’s a new day; it’s a new plan”

So how is this a ‘new plan’? Haven’t I always shared my learning through my books, online courses, blogs, and social media? Well, yes, I have! This is different because, for now, at least, I will focus more fully on this aspect of my world - my own learning. Perhaps it won’t look any different to you from the outside, or maybe it will. But I feel different inside. I feel I’ve given myself permission to dive deep into the world of learning yet again. It’s as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’ve taken the self-imposed pressure off, and I’m allowing myself to have fun.

What do you love about your horse, and what are your biggest challenges?

By Sue Palmer on June 6, 2024

What do you love about your horse? In a recent survey I sent readers of my free newsletter, 'Horses: Health and Happiness', I asked them what they most loved about their horse. Here are some of their answers: Our connection How much they teach us His gentleness The companionship they bring The empathy I can feel with them The way she makes me reflect on myself. The connection and challenge of it all.
