19.10.2021 The Mysterious World Under The Skin

By Sue Palmer on October 19, 2021

“The body is inherently a system of seamless networks of tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. These connective tissues surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. This is the stuff that shapes us and gives us both stability and mobility.” Rich Ennis Every so often I come across […]

18.10.2021 Jan and Rebel: Chapter 8

By Sue Palmer on October 18, 2021

A Guest Blog From Jan Daley Rebel and I were slowly building confidence together. He was still very nervous of strangers, especially men. However, the car park, for all my distaste for sharing “my” space, was the perfect place for training. The amount and variety of litter, although disgusting on every level, was useful as […]

By Sue Palmer on October 14, 2021

“I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals. Lady Luck has been good to me and I fancy she has been good to everyone. Only some people are dour, and when […]

11.10.2021 The Importance Of Family

By Sue Palmer on October 11, 2021

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” Jane Howard Since losing my dad in June this year, I’ve spent a lot more time with my family than I usually would’ve done. And to be fair, I’m […]

10.10.2021 Listening to Derby

By Sue Palmer on October 10, 2021

A Guest Blog from Joy McGibbon Both myself and my lovely horse have struggled with our weight. I am not the smallest of people and she sees green and puts on weight – we are very much alike in that respect! I bought her because of another mare but Derby is the best thing I […]

9.10.2021 When The Time Is Right

By Sue Palmer on October 9, 2021

“There’s no right time to do the right thing. Now is a good enough moment.” Nitya Prakash It’s very easy to wait until everything is perfect before we take action. We don’t want visitors round until the house is clean enough. We don’t want to go to the Pilates class until we’ve lost enough weight. […]

5.10.2021 How To De Spook Your Horse: Conclusion

By Sue Palmer on October 5, 2021

Ruling out pain issues in a spooky horse is essential. One of the main causes of spooking, in my opinion, is discomfort. This could be musculoskeletal discomfort such as joint pain or muscle spasm, or internal discomfort such as hormonal dysfunction or gastric ulcers. Contact your vet and your local Registered Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioner (www.rampregister.org) […]

4.10.2021 Getting The Help You Need

By Sue Palmer on October 4, 2021

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Ralph Waldo Emerson I couldn’t help but think of dad when I came across this quote. If nothing else, for the amount […]

3.10.2021 Jan and Rebel: Part 7

By Sue Palmer on October 3, 2021

A Guest Blog by Jan Daley Lunging is all very well, but it’s hard work and it’s borrrrrring. Rebel’s weight had significantly decreased, and although his hooves would get warm occasionally, I haven’t felt digital pulses since he started his journey towards driving. The horn quality had not improved, but his hoof boots saved the […]
