How do you use polework?

Polework is everywhere in training and rehab, but how is it really being used?
A new international research project is gathering data from riders, trainers, and therapists worldwide, and the team is calling on the Animalweb community to get involved.

The survey takes under 10 minutes and is open to anyone aged 18+ who uses polework with a horse. Your input will help shape future research, education, and evidence-based training guidance.

Thank you for supporting equine science and helping move the research forward.

This was such a key takeaway from The Healthy Horse Conference last week!

Horses have no idea what week they’re on or what the tick box exercises are saying, all they know is how their body feels, what their body is strong enough for, what their body has capacity for and the progress they’ve made.

Rehab is boring, it is slow, it can be incredibly frustrating. BUT avoid the temptation to rush the process, each horse is different and each horse needs constant reevaluation, not a set 12 week programme.

Double tap if agree that the best results come from the repetitive, day to day work, not from skipping those crucial foundational steps ♥️

Proprioception underpins every aspect of mobility.

This month, we’ve explored how sensory input drives coordination, confidence, and controlled movement, both in clinic and at home.

When we train proprioception, we’re not just improving movement; we’re enhancing the body’s ability to communicate effectively.
