✨Carrot stretch low to side✨

How to perform stretch:

- Stand with your back against the horse’s ribs level with the girth line or stand near the horses ribs facing towards the horses head.
- Holding the carrot in the hand closest to the tail, encourage the horse to bring his head across your body or standing near the ribs encourage the horse to bring its head round and down
- Bring the carrot down to just below your knee. Keep the carrot close to the horse’s lips.
- Hold the stretch for 5-10 seconds before allowing the horse to take the carrot
- Repeat 2-3 times per session gradually increasing the stretch by taking the head further back.

This stretch can be performed in two different ways as shown in the photos.

As the exercise becomes easier stand nearer the tail to create more of a stretch.

This stretch needs to be carried out on warm muscles. A good time to do this stretch would be after exercise.

✨Carrot stretch between front legs✨

How to perform stretch:

- Use a carrot to encourage the horse to bring their head down and between their front legs
- Make sure you keep the carrot close to the horses lips to avoid the horse bouncing you want it to ideally be a smooth movement.
- Hold the stretch for 5-10 seconds and then allow the horse to take the carrot
- Repeat the stretch 2-3 times per session and increase the stretch gradually

This stretch needs to be carried out on warm muscles. A good time to perform the stretch would be after ridden work.

Horses may try to cheat by bending their front leg to allow them to reach the carrot. You want them to have both front hooves flat to the floor to get maximum benefit from the stretch.

⭐️Belly lift stretch⭐️

This is a great stretch for horses with weak top lines

It allows the horse to mobilise the thoracic vertebra vertically and helps to strengthen the abdominal muscles that support the core and allow the horse to lift the back and collect up.

This can be used on horses of all ages and levels of fitness but is especially beneficial for brood mares and older horses.

A little bit of an introduction to me

My name is Harriet (Hattie) and I am 26 years old

I have been around horses all of my life and got my first pony when I was 3 years old.

I have three ponies which I am sure you will see lots of on my page.

I have been working in Recruitment for five years but I have always had an interest in Equine Massage. 2 years ago I decided to start a course in Equine Massage and I am now fully qualified and will continue to carry out further studies to ensure I can provide the best service to my clients.
