We are here to help!

A nice reminder from Carl Hester that surrounding yourself with the right support can be more important than owning an expensive horse.

Why do we need our saddles refitted at least annually? Here is a big reason why horses musculature changes so dramatically with correct training. Thank you Schleese Saddlery Service & Denise Lenz Saddlefit Technician for making sure our horses are at their best! See you next spring.

: Unlike humans, horses don’t have collarbones. Their shoulders are held to the rest of their skeleton via a sling of muscles and ligaments instead, often referred to as the “thoracic sling.”

Why is this important? We often ask our equine athletes to perform complex movements that require tremendous strength and coordination, and horses carry the majority of their weight in their front end. Therefore, it is imperative that the bulk of the muscles that support the front end are kept healthy and conditioned, and the horse is trained to use their “motor” — that is, engaging the large hind end muscles as much as possible to avoid excessive weight bearing on the front end.

If the front end of the horse is consistently overweighted or not at an appropriate level of fitness, repetitive biomechanical stresses get transferred down the leg to the smaller ligaments and tendons that were not designed to bear this weight, which can then lead to injury.
