Exercise of the week: Lateral tail pull 🌟
Progress your pelvic weight shifting exercises with lateral tail pulls! This exercise is perfect for enhancing neuromuscular development and strengthening the quadriceps. By gently shifting your horse's weight from side to side, the brain sends motor signals to the muscles to contract, building stability and re-educating the horse's posture.
✨ Benefits: Improves coordination, proprioception, balance, and strength!

Exercise of the week: Cold Therapy 🌟
Recommended to apply using a wet towel, cold therapy transmits heat away from the area, activating thermoreceptors. This helps to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammatory mediators, while also causing vasoconstriction to decrease blood flow and ease muscle spasms.
🚨Remember, the prescription of this exercise should be provided to owners by a qualified animal physical therapist, who will consider all contraindications to the animal.

Exercise of the week: Trot to walk transitions 🌟
Transitions involve subtle changes in muscle usage as your horse accelerates and decelerates. Walking uses the most thoracolumbar rotation and lateral flexion, helping mobilise the back. Trotting encourages the horse to stabilise their spine and increases their range of motion. Trot to walk transitions can help to improve core strength, build muscle and aid balance.
