🐴🐴🐴 Each time I get on a horse, I have to ask myself a question. What does this horse need today? 🐴🐴🐴

Here I am on a hunter I exercise once a week.

As the season goes on areas of tension start to creep in and he starts to struggle to relax his head and neck forward and down in the arena and loses a bit of movement through his thoracic spine. This is just the nature of his job. During the hunting season he has to brace and use strength and fitness to allow him to safely negotiate varied terrain and as a result loses some flexibility in the process.

My job is to help him to re-gain flexibility and keep him moving as efficiently as possible to prevent injury.

I use exercises to help free up his rib cage and thoracic spine and sling to enable him to engage his core correctly so he can continue safely and effectively negotiating his workload.

Without this flexibility work horses are more prone to injury and issues such as back pain. It allows us to focus on saddle fit and the horse’s balance, to ensure we pick up on any potential problem early and nip them in the bud!

Try and ride your horse according to what they need, not just according to what you want to do.
