A little personal update 💛

So we’ve been looking in to a few things for my lovely girl recently and today we found she does in fact have ulcers.

I think this is a perfect opportunity to say that as much as I adore massage and what it can do for our horses, it’s not a cure-all. Bodywork supports comfort, relaxation and ease of movement, but sometimes what a horse needs is veterinary care; and there’s no shame in that.

I strongly believe a multi-disciplinary approach is how we can do the best by our horses, and I’m glad we’ve got a plan supported by our wonderful vets to help Isla get back to her happiest & healthiest self.

Thank you to my lovely friend for the moral support today, and to our fabulous vets for taking such good care of Isla (and me to be honest) ♥️

A reminder for myself, but might also resonate with you going in to 2026 ♥️

Sometimes when things feel hard it helps to take stock of all the small things we’ve achieved. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I forget and move on too quickly when I’ve accomplished something - both in and out of the equestrian world.

This is particularly relevant for those of you maybe in rehab with your horse; things might feel slow, but it’s all the building blocks you’ve put in place previously that’s setting you on the right path to getting your horse back to their best selves - keep going! 💪

Merry Christmas from me and my best girl 🎄💖

A bit of a strange end to the year for us both, which I may talk about a bit more in the new year. All I’ll say for now is hold your loved ones close ❤️

Thank you everyone for your support this year! Very best wishes for the new year and I look forward to seeing you and your horses in 2026! 🥂🐴
