Palpation is a super important part of a therapist's job. But also as a horse owner/rider, it is key 🗝️ that you get to know your horses 'normal'.
⭐ compare left to right
⭐ do the muscles feel the same across the whole body
⭐ does the horse move away/ show any negative reaction to palpation in a certain area
So your bank holiday task is to go and feel your horse 🐴 take note of tone, texture and temperature.
