Woody is a little ex-racehorse.  Like so many thoroughbreds he has excellent breeding but sadly showed no real form on the racetrack.  Despite a move to three different training yards, his talent didn't improve and sadly during the course of this he was both pin and line fired.
 

Woody arrived in clear near of attention both to his feet and to his diet.  He also gave the appearance of a horse that may have a worm burden and be suffering from gastric ulcers and well as needing his teeth looking at and some chiropractic treatment.

The transformation in Woody in just 6 weeks is wonderfull he was clear of worms and has not yet commenced ulcer treatment.

This delightful lttle gelding is with us because his owner was becoming increasingly concerned by his demeanour - unhappy, sour, napping, etc. Despite saddle checks and chiropractice visits she could not get to the botttom of what was troubling Pepper.
 

We discovered that Pepper did actually have various chiropractic issues including a raised rib, myofascaial adhesion, extreme tightness to the hamstrings, damage to the atloaxia area and a misaligned jaw.  As an ex-racehorse it is not known whether Pepper acquired these conditions whilst still in training or not.

This "Beneficial" gelding has much presence, but also a strong character to go with it. Initial observations as to his erractic behaviour suggested pain related issues as he has fartured his pelvis whilst in training. A considerable amount of rehab work is required after these injuries so that scar tissue doesn't restrict movement etc.
 

Bruff is behing thermal imaged to examine exactly what is going on before we commence his retraining proper.
 

"Oscar" has featured in numerous articles including a long-reinig feature for "Your Horse".

Patience has paid off with Peanut; he has taken a long time to settle and grow in confidence but he is typical of his breed line: Florencio/Florestan I.
 

The waiting time has also seen Peanut mature physically; now he is much stronger and has more strength behind, he is able to push his front end away; previously he was very restricted through the shoulder, but he now has a true medium trot. It is a great shame that we missed out on the young horse classes but Peanut was not mentally ready; we are in no hurry.
 

We are very excited about what the future could hold!

This ID x gelding is just 3 years old.

In the short time we have had him Paisley has already changed so much; this photo has been taken exactly one month into his training so it can be seen he is developing well.
 

From being a very unsure, tentative lttle chap, Paisley is coming out of his shell and a wonderful cheeky character is developing. He is also showing good ability over a jump.
 

Looking forward to getting him going under saddle.

Charli is a very cheeky little ex-racehorse.  He is absolutely full of life - very exuberant and full of himself.  His racing career was cut short due to a tendon injury but there is not a shred of evidence of this visibly.


Charli is extremely attractive and for him the show ring beckons although he moves very well so he could also perhaps turn his hoof to dressage also.


We have used Charli as part of our Gastric Ulcer awareness campaign as despite his wonderful condition he has ulcers. You can't rule out ulcers just because a horse looks well; scoping is the only way to rule out ulcers.

Grace, a striking looking Dr. Fong mare, arrived a couple of weeks ago for the resolution of bitting issues. 

However when watching her on the lunge it was evident that she had chiropractic issues which were creating a negative influence on her movement  and headcarriage.

Chiropractic assessment duly confirmed our findings and we are now working Grace accordingly to allow her to develop correctly..
 

Grace will be parading at Doncaster on 8th September.

This striking looking chestnut gelding came from the Darley Rehoming Scheme. 

Unfortunately he has managed to do himself a mischief in the field and incurred a rather gash to his hind leg. After almost 4 months on box rest he is now with us to transition him to some 24/7 turnout for a couple of months or so before quietly bringing him back into work to strengthen him back up again.

We have begun walking Tricky out twice a day and he is thorougly enjoying a daily Equissage                                                  

Horses don't come kinder in nature than "Oscar"; he speaks volumes for his Whinny Jackson/ Wolfgang breedline.

Sadly "Oscar" lost his way a little and demonstrated some unfavourable. However he found his way to us and after many months of very patient work Oscar is once again a relaxed and happy horse.  He is so enthusiastic about his work now and is so forward that sitting very quietly is the order of the day!

Such a gent we bought a half share in him. Down the line, we bought his co-owner out.

Oscar has a home for life with us.

Since coming out of National Hunting Bo has racked up 305 BD points and regularly qualified for Regional Finals and the Nationals; he was also very successful at dressage to music. Bo was based with Paul Hayler for a while where he competed AM.

Although now retired from dressage Bo has no plans to take it easy - his enthusiasm for jumping being second to none.
 

Bo features in our forthcoming book in the jumping section.
