Spotting signs of unsoundness in a horse early on is crucial to managing their health and well-being.

Here are five tips to help you identify if your horse may be unsound:

☑️ Watch for Changes in Movement
Look for signs of uneven or irregular gait, head bobbing, or shortened strides. If your horse appears to be "off" or is favoring one leg, it might indicate discomfort or lameness.

☑️ Observe Body Language
Unsound horses may show signs of pain through body language, such as pinning their ears, swishing their tail, or reacting negatively to touch, especially in specific areas like the back, legs, or hooves.

☑️ Check for Swelling or Heat
Run your hands over your horse’s legs, hooves, and joints to feel for any warmth, swelling, or unusual lumps. Heat or puffiness often suggests inflammation or an underlying injury.

☑️ Monitor Performance
If your horse suddenly starts refusing jumps, becomes reluctant to move forward, or has a noticeable drop in performance, these could be signs of physical discomfort or an injury.

☑️ Assess for Lameness Post-Workout
After exercise, observe your horse for stiffness or signs of discomfort. Horses may sometimes appear sound at the start but show lameness after exertion, indicating a possible issue.

Regular monitoring and early intervention can make a significant difference in managing your horse’s soundness and overall health. At Equine Movement Therapy, we're here to support you and your horse through every step of the journey to wellness and top performance.💙

🌟 Wednesday Wisdom: The Power of Equine Movement Therapy🌟

Horses are incredible athletes, and just like us, they can experience tension, soreness, and muscle imbalances. Equine physiotherapy is more than just treating injuries—it's about helping our horses move freely, perform at their best, and feel comfortable in their own bodies. Regular therapy sessions can release built-up tension, improve circulation, and boost flexibility, keeping our equine partners healthier and happier.

Whether they’re competing or enjoying leisurely rides, giving horses the physical support they need through physiotherapy can make all the difference.

A happy, well-balanced horse is a joy to ride and a testament to mindful care. 🐴💆‍♂️💪

Fun Fact Friday! 🐴✨
Did you know that a horse's muscles can make up over 60% of their body weight? Just like us, their muscles work hard, and keeping them loose and functional is key to peak performance! 💪

That's why at Equine Movement Therapy, we focus on therapies that support muscle recovery and relaxation. Our treatments, like Transeva and Sumchi Therapy, help horses feel and perform their best by addressing tension and muscle tightness.

Happy horses = happy rides! 🌟🐎💖

🌟 Meet Our Brand Ambassador - Chloe Kitching! 🌟

Chloe, almost 11, lives and breathes horses. Here’s what she has to say:

🐴 What do you love most about working with horses?
“I love that they never judge. When I’m with my horses, I feel happy and confident, like our bond makes my worries disappear.”

💧 How did you first hear about EMT?
“My family is always looking for ways to keep my horses healthy. We started using EMT when I was at a riding school, then continued after moving to our own yard. Aunty Caty’s been a big part of my journey, teaching me about muscles, movements, and stretching. I’ve learned so much about keeping my horses comfortable and loose after training.”

🌟 How has EMT helped your horses?
“I’ve seen big changes thanks to EMT and my instructor, Tamzyn Wegrostek. My pony, Abagta Gemak AKA Catori had weak stomach muscles and couldn’t stretch her neck, but with ETT sessions, she’s much stronger now. My sassy mare, Rooigras Velocity, improved her hindquarters and now jumps like a champ! My thoroughbred Reign of Honour transformed from a lean racehorse to a ‘bodybuilder,’ as my dad says. After ETT, my horses move better and seem happier. Their well-being is everything to me because they do so much for me.”

💡 What advice would you give to other young riders?
“Always listen to your horse. Focus on their comfort and remember that stretching, therapy, and rest are just as important as training. And don’t be afraid to ask for help!”

❤️ What’s your favorite part about being a brand ambassador?
“I love being part of a team that cares about my horses and me. It’s not about how high we jump or how many shows we do—it’s all about the horses!”

Join us in celebrating the bond between horses and rider! 🐎💖

🦄💥 A fun fact about horse muscles is that they are primarily composed of two types of muscle fibers: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. 💥🦄
Slow-twitch fibers are great for endurance, allowing horses to maintain a steady pace over long distances, while fast-twitch fibers are used for quick bursts of speed and power, like in sprinting.
This combination allows horses to excel in various activities, from long-distance racing to jumping!

Why do horses benefit from ETT with the EMT Team? 🐎🐎🐎

For starters...
Pain Relief: Whether it’s sore muscles from jumping, a tired shoulder after piaffe practice or stiffness from standing around all day.

Therapy can help alleviate discomfort. Imagine getting a massage after a long day—horses appreciate this, too!

This session with this little Filly has made my entire career 😍 We all get stuck in the crazy routines life juggles us , and we forget to just stop .... breath.. and more importantly listen . This Filly is usually highly explosive with any interaction, she's one I nearly "labled" horrible horse ,terrible I know seeing as no horse is horrible or dangerous for no reason. Today I decided to try something completely different . When she got defensive or explosive I'd just breath deeply and talk her through it , this is a mare to defensive to even allow a light pat or tickle .. after us chatting /me finally listening, this is where our session ended . If she got worried she came to me for a cuddle! This is one of the most incredible moments I have ever had with a horse . In 30min we became friends and the mutual trust I felt leaves me with goosebumps to mu core

Shedding season .. still makes me laugh.. the more you try remove the hair the more it goes everywhere

This kid just loves a zippet .. the happiness these animals give us daily is life changing ❤️ #kisses #muzzlekisses #equestrianlife #racehorse #gentleman #gentlegiant #horselife #stablelife #stablerelationship
