Myth: you only get stronger at riding by doing it more
Sure, there’s some truth behind “doing it more, you get better/stronger at it.”
However, spending time in the saddle isn’t the only thing that’s going to help your Riding.
Focusing and improving on your physical fitness outside of the saddle is EXTREMELY important. Not only for you, but for your horse as well.
This doesn’t have to mean you run 5 miles a day or go for the next bodybuilding world title. But simply improving areas to improve your stability and control will help give clear and effective aids in the saddle. And save your horses from compensating from our “weaker sides”!
Yes, when we have a weaker side it gets transferred to our horses! Thus causing that well known “domino” affect you hear me talk about oh so often.
Comment below or pm me if you would like to get a list of exercises to help you AND your horses! Happy riding.

Releasing pecs and all the fascia for Mr. Quinn. ❤️
.
.
If your horse is sensitive when grooming around their pecs, or pinning their ears when you go to tighten their girth you may need to address pec soreness. Their pectoral muscles extend past what you see on the front of their chest and can easily get sore as the shock absorption goes up through their feet and into their chest.

🚨LETS RELEASE SOME RHOMBOIDS 🐎🚨
Rhomboids are the deep muscle located at the top of your horses neck. The first part is located on the top of the neck at the cervical section and the second is located in the thoracic region near the withers.
The rhomboids are responsible for retracting, elevating and rotating the scapula. (Picking up and putting down the front leg)
When these muscles get tight it can alter your horses gate to short stride, become choppy in stride, along with the inability to lift and round its neck and free their shoulder movement. (Among a few others)
Since the rhomboids act as your counter balance to the horses movement this can be a cause of lack of strength in the hind end or hyperflexion of the neck due to the riders hands holding too much tension, which drives the horses neck downwards and the horse cannot move with proper self carriage.

For everyone who commented on my last video saying that that horse was just “shaking flies off”…

When horses have these muscle spasms like this it indicates a pain response.
This horse palpated with a pain response around the withers which is also the saddle support region of the body.
Knowing the signs and what to look for not only help your horses longevity but also help keep you and your horse safe. When horses are in pain they “act out”. Some Examples of uncomfortabiloty include (but are not limited to) bucking, rearing, biting, being girthy and sensitive to light touch like this.
This is also a good example of why it’s important to stay on a consistent bodywork schedule so we can stay ahead of any possible issues. On top of regularly checking saddle fit.
Have questions? Let’s chat! OR send me some photos/videos of your horse and I’ll see what I can find.

I can’t tell you how many calls I get a week with people asking me if I trim or shoe horses. When I inform them I do bodywork 9/10 times they respond with “oh well my horse doesn’t need that” which leads me to ask, why keep your farrier on a regular schedule and not your bodyworker? Especially when we work closely together.
.
In reality, all horses can benefit from bodywork.
.
Keeping your horse on a monthly schedule also acts as a “check in” to keep up with any muscular skeletal changes that can happen fast, and pretty easily. Some examples include
⚡️slipping/ playing in the mud
⚡️getting up “wrong”
⚡️tripping/falling
⚡️changes in feet/shoes

Let’s release those ✨pecs✨
Did you know the Posterior pecs (deep ascending or descending) are heavily affected by the girth and can cause horses to be “girthy”? Yep, that’s right! Those nasty little “tantrums” they throw when you tighten their girth don’t have to continue to happen!
Truth is, no matter what their work schedule is, every horse is at risk for having sore Pectorals as the Pecs are a major part in lifting their legs and absorbing concussion after a jump.
Want to know more or unsure if your horse “needs” bodywork? (Trust me, they do)

When I was in massage school I had a teacher who told us the horses neck “wasn’t important to massage”. I remember looking at my classmates and wondering how we would be doing the best job we could while skipping the neck, where the balance is.
.
.
Thankfully, I didn’t listen to this misinformation and I’ve helped transform thousands of horses lives through releasing that fascia tension and resetting cervical vertebrae.
.
Does your horse feel unbalanced? Have tension when turning, jumping, running, etc?
Do you see knots in the neck or shoulder? Let’s chat.
I can guarantee it’ll help.

Quick clip from Conners bodywork session yesterday.
Releases come in all forms: licking, chewing, yawning, blinking. Etc.
If you have a horse that’s in consistent work, rehabbing or needs some natural comfort, get with me.
Why?
Bodywork helps reduce the chance of injury which means less vet bills down the road!
Don’t forget about the Christmas special going on this month $20 off each bodywork session!
