Voici un bon resumé de la traction de la queue
Tail traction 🐴
You may see my pull on your horses tail in an appointment. What's the purpose?
Tail traction helps to gap the joints in the low back and reduce pressure on the discs. Most horses tend to like it, as it can provide some relief to low back discomfort. Sometimes you will see the horses lean away from me, which increases the stretch.
This is not official exercise advice, and you should always consult your vet. It is always important to only ever do this on a horse that you know and trust. If the horse starts to pull away or walk forwards that's their way of indicating they aren't loving it, so don't continue.
