Where did 2023 go?  👀

I can't believe it's nearly Christmas and then 'hello 2024'! It has been a busy year not just with coaching but also with equine gait analysis and my PhD. I passed my viva in October so I can now officially call myself a Dr 😊 but you don't have to 😉 If you have not done so already, you can check out my FREE Practical Guide to Equine Gait Analysis which also includes lots of handy resources for those of you who are keen to learn more about how gait analysis can be used for rehabilitation, performance evaluation and lameness assessment.

You can also check out my webinar 'Asymmetrical or lame? Where do we draw the line?' which will help you understand normal movement patterns of horses and how movement symmetry of your horse can be impacted by different factors (for example: tack, riding style, movement on circles, pain). The recording is available for purchase for only £10 and you can watch it anytime that suits your schedule. Perfect for those dark, rainy winter days 🌧️

I am not going to lie, keeping my coaching business goings alongside the PhD has not always been easy BUT it has also kept me sane during the PhD slog 😅. So a big THANK YOU to all my fab riders for showing up, sharing their journeys with me (with all the ups and down!) and for trusting the process. You are the best ☺️ and I look forward to seeing where 2024 takes us!
