< Go Back CHAPPS Physiotherapy Team Progress Part 2 Posted: Feb 27, 2017Kyra and D Jimbob at Opglabbeekk 2* Kyra and the horses have just returned from 2 trips abroad competing in Belgium at the CSI 2* & YH* in Lier and Opglabbeek (Sentower) with Team 55. The horses continued their good form D Jimbob (stable name Jimbob) completing some fantastic double clears and getting placed in the 2* Grand Prix. Airo 55 (stable name Airo) stepped up to compete in his first International 6 year old classes, taking them in his stride as usual with just the odd pole down. Kyra, and the trainers at Team 55 were very pleased with both of the boys performances.
The horses now have a short break at home, and will be returning back to the international circuit at the end of March. Whilst at home they will continue working through their graded exercise programmes including ground and ridden work to assist with core stability, suppleness and hind limb engagement. They will also receive their routine physiotherapy treatments from CHAPPS which they continue to receive every 5-6 weeks dependent on competition schedule. Kyra reports that the exercises and treatments are vital for keeping the horses backs in the condition they require to ensure optimal jumping and peak performance in the ring.
Well done Kyra, the boys and the rest of the team. Keep up the great work!
