So many riders do not consider the thoracic sling.
It's important to condition the pectorals and serratus vetralis muscles.
The horse must stabilise through the logissimis dorsi , nucal ligament and abs amongst other groups to allow the horse to lift the withers useing the thoracic sling.
Thus carrying the rider and allowing free movement of the forehand.

I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine which includes the use of Acupuncture ,Chinese Herbs and Acupressure.I also trained in Equine Muscle Release Therapy and NST(advanced ) Bowen Therapy .
I have treated both horse and rider for more than 20 years .
I have owned horses and worked in professional yards for many years before training in human therapies which meant keeping my equestrian side of my life as a hobby or should I say lifestyle.I taught Massage,Aromatherapy ,Reflexology to Beauty Therapists and Nurses before going off to study Traditional Chinese Medicine/ Acupuncture/Tui Na/Tai Chi .I then went on to study Equine Muscle Release Therapy with Ali Goward and Neurostructural Integration Technique.
I have continued to keep up to date with the newest techniques and recently trained with Omega Lasers to provide laser therapy.
I have been lucky to be able to spend time doing CPD with many talented people ,some of the most influential have been Dr Kerry Ridgeway and Manolo Mendez and Christian Cadre when I attended the symposium for Optimizing horses straightness,balance and performance through fascia retraining and postural rehabilitation.
I have also trained with and been influenced by clinicians such as James Shaw “Ride From Within”,Jony Bentley”Riding Success Without Stress,Susan Hoffman Peacock Paul Belasik,
Jane Bartle,Peter de Cosemo.
When I am asked to treat a horse I look at the whole picture ,not just the physical problem that may be presenting.it is vital to look at the foot balance ,the saddle ,bit ,bridle ,the rider and the feed and lifestyle.
