Huge difference in this horses topline after one session 💪🏻,

Tension throughout the back can often hinder the topline muscle from presenting itself correctly. Even though the topline muscle is strong and present the tension can stop the muscle from relaxing and being used to its full capacity and restrict the range of movement

What we like to see🤩!

Massage helps with so many issues and I think this picture certainly shows how stride length can be improved with one session🌟 🐴

Lots of hunters enjoying their sessions before the season gets going 🐴
⭐️ Releasing lots of deep tension followed by a session with the TENS machine for extra pain relief ⭐️

Lots of people using all sorts of different, complicated “gadgets/training aids” all that can actually cause more damage to the horse if not used correctly.

They can be very restricting, not allowing the horse to have their nose infront of the vertical therefore restricting movement through their shoulder, then causing the hindquarters to drag behind and resulting in an unengaged core giving us a hollow back. Everything we don’t want to see!

Below I’ve attached a video of an example of a Kavalcade, very simple to fit and allows the horse to swing through the shoulder and quarters. Allowing freedom to have his head down and out and stretch across his back. Which is required to help aid build his topline.

All aids can result in poor movement if not fitted correctly, please if unsure do not use one until someone can help you understand how the aid works, what it aims to achieve and how to fit one correctly😊!

Amazing results for this super bunch this week! ⭐️

Massive difference in movement! These photos are 3 days apart, before a session and after, using the same training aid.

⭐️ Now able to engage the hindquarters, engaging the core and working over the topline and relaxing onto the bit much more! 💪🏻🐴

Before and after one session 💪🏻🐴. Restricted movement through pelvis causing tension down the whole nearside body

24/08/2020

Tension in the pectorals can result in a shorter and uneven stride, especially if one side is much tighter than the other. Below you can see the horse has a much higher, tighter pectoral on the offside compared to the muscle on the nearside which is much rounder.

⭐️ The photo on the right was taken straight after one session, where you can see the muscles are now much more level and even ⭐️
