This resonated with me today ❤️
Every year, when Badminton HT 5* starts, I get a bittersweet feeling because I was lucky enough to be part of it behind the scenes as a groom and my dream has always been to compete there. However, due to circumstances I have not been able to event for over 10 years now, it feels like a prison sentence to me, but I still hold on to the hope that I will one day get back to it. The one thing however I have never lost, and will never lose is my love for horses and I am forever grateful for their presence in my life.

Never lose that feeling you had as a little boy, girl or however you choose to identify, because the horses really don't care as they are non-judgmental and they just see us as soul beings. The horses and the connection we share with them is truly magical.

This shows why tension and tightness in the jaw can have such an impact on the horses way of going and well being.

Did you know.....The Tongue 👅 is the most sensitive part of your horse's mouth and the most prone to injury.

This very large muscle extends from its tip, which you can see, to the hyoid apparatus and its attachment to the ramus of the mandible at the back.

The tongue is vital for swallowing and influencing the hyoid apparatus

Like any other muscle, restriction or tension within it can induce a muscular chain reaction.

The sensitivity of the tongue is a crucial consideration when fitting a bit. An ill-fitting or harsh bit or excessive pressure on the bit from your hands can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases it can result in tension throughout the body and poor performance.
