Today, Dolly would have been 21 years old.

In her memory, we ask that you pause today to be kind to one another, to remember the power of words and – in Dolly's own words – to speak even if your voice shakes.

Our thoughts today are with everyone who has had their lives touched by Dolly and her legacy. 💙

If you or anyone you know needs help, please speak even if your voice shakes and call our support line on 0488 881 033.

It's been five years today since we lost Dolly.

Our thoughts today are with Kate, Tick, and Meg, and Dolly's extended family and friends.

In memory of Dolly, we ask that you live Dolly’s dream today - and every day - to be kind, and to speak, even if your voice shakes 💙🦋

🐴 Pectoral muscles 🐴

This muscle plays a key role in the mobility of the front limbs and support of the trunk. It acts as a stabiliser for the shoulder joints.

Many horse shown signs of discomfort in this region when being brushed or during saddling. Tension held in this region can have a large affect on the posture of the front limbs, movement of the front limbs towards the midline and front end movement.

Have a look at the picture below for a reference of tension held in the body. What can you notice? Try to not only focus on the main muscle, look around at the connecting body parts and structures.

Key factor: Train your eye to look at the whole picture 🤩
