Perhaps you've heard this term and aren't quite sure what it means, or what problems can develop in your horse from being ridden this way. Give a listen!

Here's a simple exercise to help mobilize the multifidus muscles along the spine. It's also helpful in releasing the intercostals, allowing more bend and better respiration. Let me know if you try it!

Sometimes owners express concern in noticing that their horse frequently rests a hind leg. What can the indicate?

First of all, congratulations to you on observing how your horse stands! 👏

This can indicate a number of things: hoof imbalance, trying to offput pain from somewhere in the hind end, or even pelvic instability. Your job is to observe a little further. Are you noticing other signs of pain or lameness? Is the horse always resting the same hind leg, and never standing square?

More often than not, your horse is probably just in a relaxed position. Observe if the horse rotates legs that are rested, like Venom is in these photos. They may also stand square as well from time to time.

So yes, take note of the stance, take note of any other possible symptoms. If you feel it warrants mentioning to your care team, of course you should do so! If not, enjoy that your horse is living in a relaxed state. 😎

You've probably heard from your trainers or instructors that longer warm-ups in the winter are important for your horse's health. There's truth to this, and it can really prevent injuries from occurring in your horse's legs. How does this work?

One of the main reasons is that colder temperatures mean colder synovial fluid around the joints (synovial fluid is the lubricant for your horse's joints). This can alter the composition of the joint lubricant, thus affecting its shock absorption abilities. With longer warm-ups, the synovial fluid becomes warmer and more fluid, preventing this problem from occurring.

This is just one of the many reasons to add some length to that pre-workout walk!
