Gavin Scofield

Role:: Osteopath,

Gavin is an internationally renowned Equine Osteopath, who has been in full time Equine practice for over twenty years . Gavin has worked with Will for about 15 years, since Will was still riding ponies! Gavin has refined and developed Osteopathic technique to develop a unique way of working which has pushed the boundaries of what is possible therapeutically, allowing the patient’s body to achieve greater benefits from manual medicine. This subtle approach is specifically tailored to work with the innate homeostatic /self correcting reflexes within the body, including the postural centres of the brain. By appropriately stimulating these areas, on many levels, it is possible to help the equine FUNDAMENTALLY change patterns of tension within their muscular-skeletal system. This allows not just a release of tensions, but a PERMANENT change in postural balance, improving biomechanical function, especially movement. This improved postural balance can not only optimise the equine’s movement potential but has also been seen to help improve physiological function and psychological issues.

Gemma English

Role:: Equine Dental Technician, ,

Gemma has worked with Will since 2016. We had met Gemma through Rupert Smith - a long standing EDT who worked with our horses. When he retired Gemma was the obvious person take over their care. Since becoming fully qualified Gemma began building a business and reputation for excellent dental care which was further excelled in 2016 by taking over from Rupert Smith. Gemma covers mainly Northamptonshire and surrounding areas with the occasional locations nationwide by special request. The client base is diverse in terms of the variety of equine disciplines and all levels within them which Gemma finds important to full fill a more in depth understanding of equine needs. A chosen career in the very specific field of equine dentistry was fuelled by a lifelong love of horses, the requirement of attention to detail and an overall compassionate approach with the desire to improve welfare and performance. Gemma has been and remains a full member of the BAEDT (British Association of Equine Dental Technicians) since 2015. In 2018 Gemma was elected onto the council and served the Association for 3 years gaining valuable industry insights but mostly helping to promote equine welfare, professionalism, training and public understanding of equine dentistry. Gemma graduated in 2013 from Hartpury University obtaining a degree in Equine Dentistry whilst being an apprentice of Grant Chanter from the years 2011-2015. Gemma successfully passed the BEVA/BVDA Equine Dental examination in 2015 to become a fully qualified Equine Dental Technician.

Back out after the summer holidays and moving yards

Back out after the summer holidays and moving yards

Safe to say that moving yards in the middle of the season isn't ideal - however, the team worked unbelievably hard to make it all happen and leaving our last yard in immaculate condition. A huge thanks goes to all of team.

Think we were all ready for a holiday once it was done but it was time to bring all the horses back into work for the second half of the season.

We had a very successful day with three horses coming out at Aston Le Walls (3) for their first run after their spring 3 days. They all did exactly what was asked of them - 3 good tests and double clears with steady cross country.

Mackenzy is stepping up to Intermediate next week at Burgham, with Camee de Muze doing the 3*S and Ballycoog Breaker Boy the 4*S. Really looking forward to being back there as missed it last year.
