So happy to contribute to this important social media campaign for my professional body. We’re grateful to John Gosden for his kind permission to mention Enable, and of course to Enable herself for being so incredible.

All our category A members are Chartered Physiotherapists, qualifying initially in human physiotherapy and then post graduate education in animal physiotherapy.

Chartered Physiotherapists have specialist knowledge in anatomy, biomechanics, physiology and pathology. The considerable experience gained in the human field develops refined clinical reasoning and practical skills which are largely transferrable to animal physiotherapy. Many of our members are involved in post graduate research up to PhD level, teaching physiotherapy students and delivering high quality training to other allied veterinary professionals.

Naturally our members are proud of their Chartered status, and we are proud of them and their work!

First up in our #CharteredAndProud is Kate Hesse BPhysio MSc MCSP ACPAT Cat A who specialises in racehorses and works in Newmarket.  One of Kate’s patients was the incredible Enable: winner of 11 Group 1s.

Enable wins the Oaks at Epsom under Frankie Dettori

Congratulations to the John Gosden team for winning The Oaks with Enable.

Enable ran out an impressive winner of the Investec Oaks at Epsom in the hands of Frankie Dettori.

John Gosden’s filly was a 6-1 shot for a mile-and-a-half Classic run in driving rain after a thunderstorm hit the track just minutes before the off.

Pocketfullofdreams took the field along for much of the way, but was a spent force heading inside the final three furlongs.
