The importance of stretching, like humans stretching horses after exercise on the ground has a huge part to play on their general well being...
- Helps improve flexibility and range of motion (ROM) thereby enabling the horse to perform to the best of their ability
- Helps prevent injury by strengthening supportive tissue and helping to guard against muscle tightness and tendon shortening
- Helps reduce post-exercise soreness, stiffness and muscle fatigue
- Helps improve disposition by relaxing the horse
- Helps provide early warning signs of a potential injury and can aid in injury rehabilitation
- Just like Grooming it helps the rider bond with their horse
Carrot stretches as we all know then take less than 5 mins to complete, easily down as you wait for your horse too cool off after work.. so no reason not to add to your daily routine 🥕🥕🥕
