LJ's Story, Sweeney the cause of Lameness

I can't thank and admire Vicki more. My beautiful boy showed lameness, and like all of us I went through the normal process of engaging the vets to try and find the cause.

Ronnie’s Story - headache, stomach-ache, back-ache and a big bean!

Before I took Ronnie to Vicki’s clinic, I had given up hope on us. I don’t know what I would have done with Ronnie had I not gone. I’m just so happy to have my dream horse back. For that I cannot thank Vicki enough.

Introducing the Vicki Wilson Massage Series

Massage is an important component of equine therapy. I’ve put together a series of videos showcasing how, and why, we massage certain areas of the horse’s body. In this week’s video, I show you how to massage the head of a sensitive young mare.

Rehabilitation for Your Equine Horse

Rehabilitation is about building, and strengthening, your horse’s topline by working the correct muscles. My approach to rehabilitation is to incorporate a variety methods into my program, inside and outside the arena.

A new life for a little foal

As I walked past this foal, I could tell that something wasn’t right. Once I got my hands on her, she quickly started to relax.

How to choose a horse

A horse’s characteristics will only get you so far. It’s what we’re willing to put into them that will take them all the way.

Road to the Horse 2018

2018 got off to a whirlwind start as I found myself once again at the AllTech Arena to defend my World Championship of Colt Starting title at the Road to the Horse 2018. Three challenging rounds, one obstacle course and plenty of patience later, I took out the World Championship title once again.

Another win for Equisoft

The Equisoft Sensitive bit from Acavallo continues to gather fans. We tried out this Italian-designed bit in Europe and were so impressed with it we now use it on nearly all of our horses, we genuinely have a team of very responsive and happy mouths. It's perfect to try if your horse has a very sensitive mouth - the soft, plastic material and innovative shape produces some fantastic results, as this happy customer will confirm.

Good hygiene: the mare bean

Mares, as well as geldings, can suffer from 'beans' composed of dust, dirt and smegma stuck in the folds of skin around their nether regions. It can be very uncomfortable for them, so it's important to keep them clean and healthy to avoid possible behavioural problems which can result. In this video I'll show you how.
