Trainer sets up a Spa for her tired ponies in garden

A woman who wanted to give her ponies a treat after struggling to do their normal training in the heatwave set up the UK’s very first ‘horse spa’. Emma Massingale, 35, a professional horse trainer, decided to set up the spa in the back garden of her Devon home, treating her horses Albert and Ernie to face masks, hot stone massages, mane blow dries and even a dip in a jacuzzi.

The pampered ponies were ready to put their best hooves forward following the session where they also had their hooves painted with animal friendly clear nail varnish. Hilarious footage shows the ponies enjoying a mud mask and clay mask, complete with cooling cucumbers for their eyes, as well as a curl and set blow dry. Albert and Ernie clearly enjoyed the rest and relaxation and remarkably can be seen standing and lying perfectly still during their treatments, shot by Emma Massingale.
