"A lot of people new to barrel racing don’t think as much about finishing the turn. If you’re new to the sport or even starting a horse, finishing the turn is an important thing to learn because when you’re loping the pattern and in a habit of not finishing the turn, a lot of horses will float out or not finish the turn tight enough. This can easily become a habit. This is definitely an issue I see at my clinics." — Charmayne James

The Interconnection of Systems in Osteopathy:
Osteopathic philosophy recognises the interdependence of the musculoskeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems. An issue in one system often affects others. Practitioners address these interconnections to promote holistic healing, ensuring that all systems work harmoniously to support the animal’s well-being.

“An osteopath must know the shape and positions of every bone in the body, as well as that part to which every ligament and muscle is attached. He must know the blood and the nerve supply. He must comprehend the human system as and anatomist, and also from a physiological standpoint. He must understand the form of the body and the workings of it. That is a short way to tell what an osteopath must know.” AT Still

The Concept of the Osteopathic Lesion
The concept of the osteopathic lesion (somatic dysfunction), a functional disturbance in the musculoskeletal system, is central to osteopathy. These lesions disrupt normal biomechanics and can lead to compensatory issues elsewhere in the body. Identifying and addressing these lesions restores balance and enhances overall health.
