🐴 Don’t Forget to Tell Your Bodyworker…

When your equine bodyworker asks what your horse has been up to recently, it’s not just polite conversation, it’s an important part of the assessment.

Consider things like has your horse…..

Recently moved to a new field and spent a few days charging around?

Been away competing or at a clinic?

Spent extra time standing in a lorry for several hours travelling to and from events?

All of these activities can create or contribute to tension, stiffness, or temporary imbalance within the body. By sharing these small but really important details, you help your therapist build a complete picture of what’s going on beneath the surface. This allows them to identify where tension may be coming from and ensure treatment is accurate, effective, and tailored to your horse’s needs.
Every little detail helps 🐎

⏪ Backing up ⏪

A great exercise for:

✅ Strengthening the hindquarters
✅ Engaging the core
✅ Mobilising the spine
✅ Improving straightness and coordination
✅ Relaxing the horse

➡️ Start with 1 or 2 steps and increase the number gradually over time

➡️ The horses limbs should move in diagonal pairs

➡️ Aim for backing up with the head lowered and relaxed

➡️ This exercise can be carried out in hand or ridden

➡️ To encourage straightness you can back up between poles or use a fence or wall to guide

➡️ To increase flexion and difficulty switch to backing up an incline
