The Horse Bit Hire Blog; latest news

Gail is currently with Neue Schule at the Dressage at Hickstead so available by email or pre-booked time slots for evening calls for advice.

Business as usual in the office with all web orders and phone orders to Diane on 07789 141 317.

Gail is back in the office Monday 29th June.

After a busy time up in Scotland at Bitting Clinics, both Gail and Diane are back in the office catching up with all emails and advice calls from Thursday the 18th of June. Alex has been keeping orders ticking over nicely whilst we have been on the road. Apologies to anyone for any slight delay; we will be back up to speed by tomorrow evening.

Back to earth with a bump when we got back with HBH Sixty having a mild colic (well done Alex for spotting this & taking care of him) but thankfully he is ok now!

Back off to Ian Starks at the weekend for another bitting clinic. Busy times at HBH #lovemyjob

Never a dull moment her between work, the horses, Paddy pooch and Lady Cath. HBH Woody recently had a few little stumbles when ridden. This was noted and then obviously I decided investigation was needed.

Before my physio appointment Woody decided he wasn't broken enough so he was seen flying around the slippy muddy field at great speed and skidding to a halt a few inches from the gate....at least he didn't repeat Daisy's acrobatics of a few years ago and go over the gate taking out the gate post and part of the neighbouring fence.

Lovely local physio Catherine came out to see Woody and he was assessed and found that he had a few pelvis issues, tight hamstrings, tight neck muscles and stepping short in front on one side. Pleased to report that she treated him and, even though his eyes were so wide at one point I could see all the white around them, he seemed to really enjoy his physio session. He is now much more realigned and no permanent damage has been caused. Need to get back on board and start building up the core muscles in us both (!)
