Get to know us better by taking a look at some of our pictures.
I always knew I would return to education, but I never imagined that I would gain a Master’s Degree ๐ณ.
It’s been a long and tricky road at times and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support from my (now) husband and some of the wonderful people I met along the way, some of whom will be lifelong friends (or raccoons ๐ฆ) ๐ฅฐ.
I’m so incredibly proud of myself and had a really wonderful day graduating in the hallowed chambers at the Oxford Union yesterday.
I met this gorgeous little carrion crow on my travels this week. She’s in rescue as she was hit by a car and has a broken wing and has lost most of her vision in one eye. She will be rehomed as a pet once she is well again. Apparently they are super intelligent and make awesome pets! This little lady already sits on the sofa and watches tv with the dog! Heart โค๏ธ
Love how well my clients who compete at showing have done at Crufts this year.
A huge well done to the handsome Wilbur who won his class ๐. He’s such a lovable gorgeous boy ๐ just look at those ears ๐ฅฐ

I’m getting married in two weeks!!! Eek! So excited! This does mean however my last working day is Thursday 21st March and I will be returning to work on Wednesday 10th April after my honeymoon ๐.
Appointments are booking up fast, so please contact me if you would like me to treat your animal sooner rather than later โบ๏ธ
Wishing Mi-Cha and her lovely owner the best of luck at Crufts tomorrow.
Mi-Cha is a Korean Jindo Dog, which are pretty rare! She has the kindest temperament and such a pretty face ๐.
I feel very privileged to have been trusted to treat your beautiful dog ๐ฅฐ to help her prepare for her performance at Crufts. Thank you โบ๏ธ
The adorable Apollo ๐. He’s a standard Dachshund and is demonstrating beautifully before and after a McTimoney treatment.
He just had a routine maintenance treatment which unearthed a small area of discomfort, in an area common for this long backed breed. He’s just so cute I may have to pinch him next time ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ

Meet Dublin the Kerry Bog Pony. He’s one of an endangered breed of bog ponies from Ireland. An incredibly sturdy and reliable breed with wonderful personalities.
‘Dubs’ had a chiropractic treatment from me and was in tip top condition ๐.

I treated Dexter the gorgeous sighthound tripod recently and this is what his owner sent me a few days later.
It’s messages like this that make my heart sing ๐. Being able to help animals feel their best is the reason I spent so long training to become a #McTimoneyVeterinaryChiropractor ๐.

My beautiful girl. She’s had a tough year but looking onwards and upwards for the next one to be better for her. It’s broken my heart at times seeing her struggle, but it’s looking now like we’re through the other side - for good ๐ค๐ป.
Thank you for the lovely photo #beth_hibbert_photography ๐.
I’ve done it!
I’ve achieved my Masters Degree in Animal Chiropractic with flying colours!
I can officially call myself an Animal Chiropractor!
Thank you to all the people and all the animals of course, who have helped me along the way on this epic journey. It’s been one hell of a ride!
I’m taking bookings for the new year, for once I have my licence and paperwork sorted
I’d like to welcome Rimini, (kennel name
Jimanns Tavullia) to the TBAM team!
She is a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy (yes, she’s still a puppy despite her size!!) belonging Annelie and Andy Whiteside. They also have two more ridgeback boys whom I have been treating for some time. The boys are both familiar with Crufts and have been successful there and Rimini has her ticket for next year already.
I’m so excited for her future showing success!

The adorable Jasper enjoying his massage this week. His owner is super happy, as his behaviour had changed quite a lot. He had gone from being a crazy ball of fun and life playing with his chums, to being standoffish and reluctant to interact with them. After only one session of bodywork and Low Level Laser therapy, Jasper felt much better and began playing with his friends again ๐ฅฐ

Such a fabulous day’s training at Bicester Hunt Kennels. What a privilege to be allowed to treat these magnificent fox hounds! A hot day to be sure, but definitely worth it. All topped off with some puppy loves at the end of the day ๐ถ๐ฅฐ๐ถ

I’ve had such a fabulous day at Bold Heath Arena Eventing representing NDG. Dizzy jumped everything I pointed her at ๐, despite an unplanned dismount in the collecting ring prior to jumping even one fence ๐คฆ๐ผโ๏ธ๐คทโ๏ธ๐.
A jockey error in the first class = elimination, but we stormed around the next class. Onwards and upwards. I love my little mare โค๏ธ

Wow. Well. The last exam of my first year of my McTimoney Chiropractic Masters Degree done โ
. Halfway there!
Whilst I’ve loved learning so much more about animals theoretically and practically, I won’t lie, I’m glad the studying is over for a couple of months.
I’ve also recently submitted my Prototcol, which is the first part of my Master’s Thesis, which I’m doing on the effect of Fenwick Liquid Titanium Masks and relaxation in horses. I know it works for my Dizzy-as featured in the photo, but I’m interested to see if there is a scientific angle to them. Watch this space!!
I’m so proud to announce the winner of my sponsored rider search. Well done Ellie Stapley ๐!
This young lady’s dedication to her pony and her hobby is unbelievable. She is so wonderful with her pony Dora and never fails to inspire me ๐. Watch this space for more information on this special combination
This little mare never fails to please. Another outing and more ribbons ๐ฅฐ. Always well mannered and impeccably behaved, we just need to work on our relaxation within the white boards to start getting some really super scores. A real credit to her today for rising to the challenge of riding two tests we haven’t ridden before due to a mix up on my part (we learned the wrong test. Twice ๐คญ๐)
Thanks to Katie-ellen Boothby and Wendy Hickman for reading our last minute tests.
I love being able to help animals feel and move better and help make their owners happier too โค๏ธ
I got the best kisses from Jasper yesterday ๐. My job really doesn’t feel like work at times ๐๐๐ ๐ด ๐ถ ๐๐ผ

I finally got my certificate. I absolutely loved completing this course, learning how to enhance and improve the comfort and performance of horses and dogs. Now I’m halfway through my first year MSc Animal Chiropractic course and I’m enjoying that even more! I’ve definitely found a career I’m passionate about, love and fine so very rewarding ๐ฅฐ

Wow. I can’t believe I’m actually writing this. We have just completed our first solo hack without even coming close to dying ๐. Some of you will know how this seemed an impossible dream for me not all that long ago. I’m so so proud of my girl and myself for putting on my brave pants. Sometimes it’s the smallest things that put a huge smile on your face ๐
First run in over 18months yesterday! Loved being cheered on by the cows ๐ฎ.
If my horse needs to be fit enough to event, then so do I. It is unbelievably hard work for a horse to carry a tired rider, especially cross country which is when many riders fatigue the most. #eventinglife #getfittoride #running #cowcheerleaders #pooped
So what is fascia? And what does it mean when it ‘releases’ during a massage?
Fascia is a thin, sheet of tissue that covers, surrounds, and protects every structure in the body.
Fascia has several forms: Cobweb, honeycomb, and ribbon are a few.
๐ธ Cobweb fascia is mainly associated with the internal organs.
๐ฏ Honeycomb fascia is mainly associated with the blood vessels, bones, nerves and muscles
๐ Ribbon fascia is what lives directly under the skin
In all it’s various shapes, forms, and roles, it is literally what holds everything in the body together to create functional movement.
During all soft tissue work with a horse, we are always addressing the fascia.
When we say we feel muscle sore, it is usually actually our fascia that gives us that sensation. Horses are the same.
The muscles stretched too much too fast, and the fascia didn’t have time to release and catch up.
When we say we have injured a muscle, its - again- commonly the fascia that has been injured, not the tissue that is the actual muscle.
Fascia has many layers that are meant to hold fluid, to increase glide across each other. Problems occur when an area of fascia gets injured, stuck or dried out, and stops gliding so easily.
The superficial fascia of the body is like a sweater. A “snag” will pull form all other areas of the body just like of you snag your sweater and the thread tightens from all angles.
Also, most of our nerves run along fascia, and there are about six times more nerve receptors in fascia than in any other parts.
When we feel pain, its often from the nerves entrapped within the fascial layers that have for some reason become dry or stuck.
Healthy fascia = a healthy horse.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain healthy fascia is to intentionally brush your horse every day. Move your brush in all directions, not just the direction of the hair.
Take your time and spend 5-10 minutes brushing.
Another really effective and simple way to maintain healthy fascia is to do 20 minutes of intentional walking. Try some slopes, hills, or poles to keep their mind engaged.
Healthy fascia = a healthy horse.

What a wonderful after at the beach with two wonderful horses ๐ฅฐ and the lovely @bethhibbertphotography @beth.h.99. Needless to say these are mostly my pics not hers ๐. Both ponios were so well behaved and I’m especially pleased with Dizzy as it was her first time ever at the beach ๐. I think they’ll both enjoy a post exercise massage ๐๐ผ ๐ ๐๐ผ

It’s all about the studying for now, until I go out to treat some of my gorgeous regular clients later this afternoon ๐๐ผ
As an MSc student in animal Chiropractic, I have to do a lot of studying of bones ๐ฆด. How they are formed, as well as their individual functions and related muscles. I also have to know associated pathologies. I’m currently looking at pathologies of bone in dogs ๐ถ before I move onto bone and joint pathologies in horses. I find all this so fascinating๐ค

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to treat the handsome Simba this morning. He’s a beautiful and bouncy Labradoodle. He came for a maintenance treatment with no issues, however I notice he walked with quite a curve to the right when assessing him. After his treatment, he was walking straight, to the extent his Grandad noticed he was walking differently when he got home. Hopefully he’ll be feeling much more comfortable and be even more happy and waggy on his walks now ๐๐๐ผ๐

Introducing my two beautiful doggos, Gracie and Tess. Both are happy and active thanks to regular massages. Tess (the lurcher) especially appreciates them as she often over exerts herself whilst having her zoomies
