Huge day on the road yesterday. Thanks to everyone that booked their horses in for a session especially Emily, Peter and Kaycee

South Burnett I’ll be in your area again on the 27th.
Please message with number of horses and preferred time and I’ll do my best to fit you in.

❇️Heavy in front

❇️Holding on to bit

❇️Hind quarter issues / lacking drive and power from behind/tightness

❇️Attitude when out /irritable in paddock

❇️Poor healing wounds -rain scald, mud fever, Itchy runny eyes

✅Not Tracking Up

✅Issues with balance in canter

✅Dips in lower spine area

Often see horses for the following

🔸Neck and Poll Restrictions (head shy, resistance or shaking , holding on to bit)

🔸Old horses - joint issues, digestion, weight gain issues

🔸Itchy skin /skin issues

🔸Lameness

🔸Arthritis

🔸Swelling

🔸Slowness

🔸Lethargy

🔸Tiredness

🔸Muscle stiffness

🔸lrritability, over-sensitivity

🔸Acute injury

🔸Chronic conditions

🔸Short stepping behind

🔸Show and sale Prep

🔸Recovery after exercise

🔸Scarring

🔸Neurological /weakness and body balance slow process

It’s never the poll!

TRAIN YOUR EYE 👀

Since you guys liked the last one so much…

This space behind the jaw/TMJ region is something I assess regularly during postural and functional evaluations.

Why? Well, asymmetry here can sometimes reflect much more than just the head and neck - the body compensates as a connected system.

When a horse is:
• unloading a hindlimb
• asymmetrical through the pelvis
• bracing through the thoracolumbar region
• struggling with thoracic sling support

The front end often adapts too.

That can show up as:
➡ uneven muscle fill behind the jaw
➡ altered poll posture
➡ asymmetrical rein contact
➡ tension through the upper cervical region
➡ subtle changes in facial symmetry

This doesn’t mean:
A hollow behind the jaw = pelvic problem.

But, it does show how interconnected posture and compensation are on a horse.

If you have been lucky enough to get Peak Pulse treat your horses. I look at the whole horse, especially symmetry!!

TRAIN YOUR EYE 👀

Most owners stand beside their horse - very few stand behind them and actually look properly.

From this angle we can start assessing:

• symmetry through the wither and thoracic sling
• scapular muscle development
• topline contour
• ribcage shape and loading patterns
• hindquarter muscle balance
• overall spinal tracking and posture

Small asymmetries don’t automatically mean something is “wrong”, but they can tell us a lot about how a horse is organising load through their body.

Posture reflects movement habits, compensation strategies, saddle influence, rider asymmetry, limb loading and overall balance.

Often, these subtle changes appear long before obvious performance issues do.

This is why I always encourage owners to:
➡ stand behind their horse
➡ compare left vs right
➡ look at muscle shape, not just size
➡ learn what ‘normal’ looks like for their horse

Because posture is information - not the diagnosis, but most definitely a clue 👀

👀👀

The Sacroiliac (SI) joint is the functional bridge transferring power from the hindquarters to the spine. For many horses, however, it is a site of persistent tension.

In practice, a structured grooming sequence can do more than lift debris; it facilitates a pelvic tuck and encourages core stability. What matters most here is depth of action. The thoracolumbar fascia, overlaying the lumbar-sacral junction, is highly responsive to mechanical stimuli.

When we apply a precise grooming system: starting at the skin interface: we trigger a physiological response. This targeted pressure signals the muscle chains, including the gluteals and biceps femoris, to release. This encourages the horse to lift through the thoracic sling and reorganise their posture before exercise.

Grooming is not a cosmetic act; it is neuromuscular preparation. This is the core science of ‘The Regulated Horse’.

How does your horse respond to touch around the lumbar region? Share your observations below or DM for expert advice on our tailored packs.

Save for your next session.
