Hills I will die on 100% of the time :
Downhill is most often a posture , and your " low withered" horse , indeed has a wither.

🔝 Picture June 2024
⬇️ Picture August 2025

👉 wither has come up
👉 Doesn't look like a compressed blob 😆
👉 Roach in the lumbar is almost gone
👉 thoracic sling is starting to do it's job

Now it's time to build some strength the right way 💪

If you're like me , when you see a problem with your horse and have the tools .. you're gonna want to fix it !

Recently , Martha had some big hoof angle changes . In theory , they are a good thing and bring her alignment 👌. However.. I'm seeing a few things since the shoeing change up , that I don't like . Her body is sensitive , and even a degree or 2 change is A LOT for her and many other horses

This evening I quite literally threw the kitchen sink at her ..
✅BTMM
✅ Kinesio taping
✅ Surefoot pads
✅ Elevating her front end on a platform
✅ Shoulder in, in hand

I treated it like an Orange Theory inspired circuit . 2 minutes on the pads , 3 minutes on the platform , 2 minutes BTMM , etc .

About 15 minutes in , Martha flipped me the bird 🖕. She wanted to sit and process on the platform , allowing her lumbar and LS joint to decompress and her hind legs to find some space, and I gave her the " times up ! Onto the next element !" .

She wouldn't move, initially . I cued her to back off, and she did. Then promptly stepped her front feet back up on the platform, refusing a forward cue once again

Tonight's lesson? Pick one or 2 things. Follow a theme . Tonight , I was trying to work on stability and body awareness , but also some lateral , but also helping her integrate the hoof angle changes- it was just too much . She was trying to process what her body was feeling during each element , and I wasn't letting her .

I don't like to see her body go backwards, and perhaps this is a bit of me having to swallow my ego and evaluate if the shoeing change *I* think is right for her , is what *she* thinks is right for her .

We ended the session with ME on the surefoot pad ( creating this post 😆), letting her process for a solid 20 minutes .
