Just in time for Marvels international debut 😏

A little late posting this but was lacking in time last year!

Hedge hopping with Marvel 🐎🐎
Not quite the confidence giving run following Upton we might have hoped for with absolute xc carnage at Dauntsey πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ but the work on the ground was phenomenal and he came home more confident than he went out which is always a win ❀️
Not his best dressage with a bit of tension but in 2nd on a 32 dressage. A lovely clear xc which was nice after a the odd pole in our last few outings 😁 and we made it round the xc which couldn’t be said for a few 😬😬 just hesitated at the open ditch and jump judge was a bit quick to call it but such is life! And a definite look at the last boat into the water which I thought walking was a tall order!!! Jumped on second attempt and the obstacle was actually moved for the next 2 days of competition to make it a bit kinder after causing lots of trouble πŸ™ˆ so it was nice to know his only real question was more a advanced one 
We also managed to get out the week after and school round some small fences just to make sure we had more confidence points in the bank and jump through some of the advanced questions with a bit more confidence which was a MASSIVE help. 
Having jumped some real advanced questions without a hesitation training it’s clearly just the competition settings he needs to grow into :) 
Hoping for a nice run a Aston this week before hopefully our first international 😬😬😬

The legend that is Holly ❀️ congratulations

πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 15 Years of Holly Kerr Veterinary Physiotherapy! πŸŽ‰

This year marks an incredible milestone – 15 years of helping horses, dogs, and their owners through professional veterinary physiotherapy πŸ΄πŸΆπŸ’™

As you will know I’m rubbish with social media and I rarely take pictures of myself working (mainly pictures of horses feet or bottoms!) so if anyone has any photos of me and your animals or a lovely photo of your horse that I have worked with in the present or past please add in the comments below would love to see all their faces!

From treating competition horses to much-loved family pets, every patient has been part of an amazing journey. I’m so grateful for the trust my clients and referring veterinary practices have placed in me over the years.

It’s been a privilege to watch animals recover from injury, improve performance, stay comfortable in later life, and return to doing what they love and work with the most diligent and amazing owners who give everything for their four legged friends.

None of this would have been possible without the wonderful support of my clients, veterinary colleagues, farriers, trainers, and everyone who has recommended my services along the way.

This career was a dream from a young age and I am so grateful I get to do a job I genuinely love ❀️. Your continued support means the world, and I look forward to helping many more animals in the years to come.

To everyone who has been part of the last 15 years – a huge thank you!!

Here’s to the next chapter! πŸ₯‚

Some people have been asking why so few updates on the main man Apollo…
All geared up after ICC to start looking at having a bit of fun with a PSG freestyle πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸΌ
Overnight he developed a raging laminitis in his back feet 😭 it was a little touch and go as to whether we could keep him comfortable and enough and what his future might be…
Thanks to Oscar at Orthequine he was stable enough to make the long road to recovery. X-rays show dramatic rotation so his riding career is likely over β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή but we are optimistic we can get him happily retired and won’t be off the grass forever much to his joy (we all know how much he enjoys going out πŸ™ˆ)

I came across this clip not long after from and though he never reached the heights of the Olympics (here’s to hoping!) it reminds me to be grateful I still have him here.
And I might not be lucky enough to do horses professionally what a silver lining I have the time to appreciate giving my best boy a good scrub and TLC on a Friday afternoon❀️
