Hindquarter assymmetry / twisting ⭐️
Training the eye to see things is so important. This horse was known to move ‘funny behind’ but otherwise a very good competition horse.
Assummetry of muscles in the hindquarters is not uncommon and can sometimes be extremely minimal, it is important to identify and manage these issues before they become larger concerns.
A twisted pelvis often develops when a horse consistently loads one hind limb more than the other — from previous strain, SI tightness, hoof imbalance or natural sidedness. This leads to one side becoming strong and the other compensating.
Physiotherapy can help restore balance by releasing tight areas, improving pelvic mobility and strengthening the weaker side.
