Tyrrells Equine Client Evening Talk - Buying A Horse

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking & meeting everyone last Thursday for the evening talk hosted by Tyrrells Equine Vets.

The team were absolutely amazing and so helpful throughout. The aim of the evening was to raise money for a charity support horses in Ukraine, so a deserving cause in the current climate.

Speakers included a farrier, horse behaviourist, a dressage trainer, vets, as well as myself, for a physiotherapy perspective. I found everyone’s lectures very interesting and they all linked together very well.

Buying a horse can be daunting & overwhelming for some. There is a lot to consider and those with less experience may not aways recognise the ‘red flags’, that many of us professionals see on a regular basis! I have helped many owners find their dream horses over the years. In most cases it has involved a lot of frogs to kiss before finding the prince. Many horses are not what is advertised or clearly have underlying issues which are not mentioned. That’s where having a professional look at the horse with you can help you save a lot of money in the long run.

The main point of my talk was the importance of getting horses vetted - which I had some amazing case studies to share.

Tyrrells kindly gave the speakers a gift which included a Thermos mug - which I haven’t left home without since!

For those of you who attended, I would love to hear your thoughts and what you gained from the evening?

A lovely testimonial

It’s always nice to feel appreciated! I put a lot of effort into being professional and being the best I can be for my patients, so it’s nice to hear those things recognised by my clients.

“ Pippa was professional, knowledgeable and friendly right from the outset, from initial phone call to yard 1 visit and thorough assessment of our horse. Pippa’s prompt, professional and congenial approach was most appreciated. She took her role above and beyond by requesting updates out of hours and on a bank holiday, thus showing great concern and compassion for our horse. The horse is moving much better and we are due a follow up physio session with Pippa later this week. We very much like her approach and (bedside) stable manner. We would definitely recommend Pippa Winkworth for equine physiotherapy.”

Most therapists get into this job because they love animals - I certainly did. I wanted to make a difference to the lives of as many animals as I could. Having done this job for 20yrs now, I can safely say I’ve helped many animals to have a better quality of life.

This job has it’s challenges too! Like any small business it can be a lonely, stressful path to travel at times but when you see the difference in the animals you treat and then receive glowing feedback it makes all the hardwork worthwhile. My mission remains the same - to be the best I can be and never ending self-development. I learn more every day and strive to make those small changes that add up to big improvements.

Thank you, Barbara!
