Why is the Nuchal Ligament so important?

Lets start at the head and work our way to the tail.
The muscles that pull and turn the ear outwards attach the base of the ear to the back of the skull and nuchal ligament. As the Nuchal ligament runs down the crest of the neck and connects to the spinous processes of the withers and continues caudally as the supraspinous ligament.
The latissimus dorsi muscle inserts on the teres major muscle, and together they pull the limo backwards (retraction). The brachiocephalicus and omotransversarius muscles draw the limb forwards (protraction), but only relative to the position of the head. The height of the head-carriage is therefore a key factor in producing a specific length of stride. Not only does it enhance or restrict the action of the lower neck muscles, it also increases or reduces traction along the nuchal ligament. The laminae of the nuchal ligament stabilize the position of the neck bones, and this stability is transferred via the supraspinous ligament along the spine to the thoracolumbar fascia. This is the point of origin for the latissimus dorsi muscle. In order to protect the forehand from jarring, the muscles of suspension have to comply with the movements of the limbs in both the swing and stance phases of the stride. If the nuchal ligament and its laminae are the counterbalance to the brachiocephalicus and omotransversarius muscles, the latissimus dorsi muscle is the counterpoise to both of these. Not, however, if the corner of the scapula is wedged under the tree of a tightly fitting saddle. suppleness of the neck muscles and the traction of the nuchal and supraspinous ligaments. - The Horse’s Muscles in Motion – Sara Wyche

January is almost full for availability.

The frozen uneven ground has been hard on a lot of the horses in our area. Help them release the tension in their neck and shoulders with a massage. Winter is tough on the horses body even if they are not being ridden. Between the temperature changes, deep snow, ice and frozen ground, it takes a toll on their body.

Sonny agrees that I should continue working on my nerve release course.
This fall/ winter I have been working on completing a very interesting course to add to my toolbox.
Nerve Release.
What is nerve release?
Nerve Release bodywork is any modality that specializes in creating healthy space around the peripheral nerves to aid in as much healthy function as possible and to alleviate compressive neuropathy.

A few common cases that come up that are alleviated within one session are:
Head shaking syndrome
Reluctance to move forward
Undiagnosed lameness that cannot be blocked
Chronic tension in the base of the neck and shoulders
Explosive bucking/rearing

I will taking advantage of these cold days to stay inside and complete this course so I can continue to help your equine partners. I truly look forward to 2025 season.

Why my horses get soaked warm alfalfa cubes in the winter.
They are on free choice hay 24/7 but there are two older geldings, one has no front teeth and the other one is just spoiled and we like to keep him that way. The younger mare also gets alfalfa cubes for her stomach as well as keeping her hydrated through out the winter and making sure she is getting enough protein.
Here is great information from Mad Barn.

A muscle has two ends and a belly. The origin is the fixed moveable attachment to the bone that serves as the anchor for the movement. The insertion is the moveable end where the motion takes place. The belly provides the contractile power, the action. With very few exceptions, the greatest stress will be at, and the initial spasm will develop at the origin (the anchor).
When there are tight or fatigued muscles, it can put strain on the joints within the horse. Strained or overexerted muscles can cause resistance within the horse’s body. Equine massage works to eliminate the developed restrictions.
