Running a mobile bodywork business isn’t easy. And truth be told, a lot of what makes it tough is a glitch in the communication/understanding process between practitioners and clients.

We asked a huge number of equine bodyworkers to chime in and tell us what frustrates them. Oh my goodness, there were some very similar themes!

We look at those in this episode, and look at troubleshooting strategies to help your practice run smoothly.

When we do a trial ride on a horse we are looking at a demonstration of what the horse’s body is capable of at that exact moment. It may not be a good indication of its sustainability, suitability and long term soundness.

Join me for this episode where I chat about why we need a better measurement to make decisions about the body’s preparedness for sport.

Understanding physiology is the key to strong assessments of what is happening with horses. Strong assessments are the key to well planned bodywork sessions, that bring about the best possible outcomes.

Knowing when to call in different types of bodywork practitioners comes from a keen understanding of how the body functions.

In this episode of the podcast I go through types of tension and how they respond to the different inputs of bodywork.

The fact that thrush is common doesn’t mean it’s no big deal.
When thrush is advanced it can cause not just intermittent lameness, but it can create permanent lameness and damage to the hoof tissues.

Mud season, hoof shape and stall rest can increase the likelihood of infection.

In this episode we chat about the mindset shift I had recently when tackling thrush in one of the horses on our farm, and how it’s been a game changer for my approach to hoof care.

It’s fair to say that the majority of horse owners have every single hair, lump, bump, and scratch of their horse’s legs memorized.

When 12 yr old Phoenix saw a vet bill for his Cushings horse, he vowed to help!

His Cushings horse had crumbling hooves, so he wanted a product that could help his horse’s hoof health, and he thought perhaps help his mum out by paying some of his own vet bills.

He jumped into action mode. He researched and read all about hooves, what can permeate the wall, and what true and false claims are out there.

Join us for this episode where our producer Jay interviews 12 year old Phoenix from Phoenominal Equine Products.

To order your Phoenominal Hoof Dressing or his new product, Phoenominal Hoof Mist (for thrush and post-abscess sites), message him on social media. The link is below.

IASTM, or “Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization” has become a very popular bodywork technique.

There are many types and they differ greatly, both from the instruments to the outcome goals.

Whether you are a bodywork practitioner looking to add this service to your practice, or a horse owner looking to integrate it into your horse’s bodywork routine, it is important to know how and when to use it.

Join me for this episode where Dr Stephanie Crawford of On Course Chiropractic chats with me about IASTM, its effects, its outcomes and how to integrate it into your horse’s bodywork routine.
