🌟 Lunging 🌟

Why do we lunge our horses?
🐴 To increase fitness
🐴 Maybe to take the freshness off before we get on
🐴 To use training aids such as the Pessoa or EquiAmi to encourage our horses to be able to work more rounded and help with muscle development
🐴 To improve communication with our horses
🐴 As part of a rehabilitation programme
🐴 Suppleness - helping the horses to become more supple and engaged
🐴 Time? Not enough time to be able to ride
🐴 Obedience training
🐴 Balance

The benefits of lunging without the use of tack?
🐴 Allowing the horse to express natural behaviour
🐴 To allow the horse to move more freely
🐴 Balance
🐴 Allowing the horse to stretch on their own and determine whether they are comfortable in doing so
🐴 Encourage relaxation during exercise
🐴 Can also show whether your horse is working similar on both left and right reins
🐴 May show any signs of lameness and discomfort that may be disguised from the use of tack or training aids

Lunging can be very important as part of our horses exercise. However, it is vitally important that we do not overload our horses with repetitive exercise to reduce the risks of injury and strain. Working on both left and right reins evenly is vitally important for muscle development.
The use of training aids can be very beneficial with aiding muscle development when used correctly. Incorrect use can also lead to the risk of injury.

Here is a video demonstrating without the use of any tack and lunging in a head collar. You can see here that he is showing signs of relaxation and gradually working lower to stretch those back muscles.

EJP - Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation offers a variety of services to be tailored to your equines needs including full assessments and treatments. If you have any queries on your horses behaviour, or ways to improve your horses exercise regime please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

So here we have a 16’1, 16 year old standardbred who often suffers from muscular back pain. In this video you can see muscle spasms along the horses back and he’s showing signs of pain and discomfort by dipping his back and trying to step away through the palpation. This horse had received a thorough examination and massage treatment. 1 week later after only just 1 treatment you can see a huge difference, no more muscle spasms, a lot more comfortable and pain significantly reduced through the back muscles (known as the longissimus muscle). Regular treatment will allow him to work more comfortably, reduce muscle stress and tension and enhance in positive behaviour.

Massage therapy is very beneficial to your equine as it:
🐴Reduces pain and discomfort
🐴Reduces muscle stress and tension
🐴Enhances and improves behaviour
🐴Improves circulation
🐴Increases joint mobility and flexibility
🐴Stimulates the lymphatic system
🐴Improves in the recovery of soft tissue injuries
🐴Increases relaxation

If you feel your horse may benefit from massage therapy and rehabilitation please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

This weekend has been very interesting and useful for evaluating and understanding why horses move the way they do.
🐴 Assessing conformation
🐴 Asymmetries affecting movement RoM
🐴 Muscle atrophy/hypertrophy
(Why has the horse under/over developed muscle)
🐴 How the practitioner can help improve and enhance soundness within the equine

We had the opportunity of getting to paint the horses muscles on the body and then watch the horse through movement of walk and trot to visualise the active and inactive muscles. This helped with being able to see if active muscles were working properly and allowing full range of motion of the skeletal form and function. If you would like more content on active and inactive muscles and are interested in muscle anatomy, please do get in touch and more photos like these and videos of the horse in motion can be provided.

Therapists are able to provide therapy and design rehabilitation programmes suited best to your horse to help aid their function.
Massage therapy can:
🐴 Reduce muscle spasms
🐴 Release stress and tension
🐴 Increase mobility and flexibility
🐴 Improves immune function
🐴 Improves circulation, energy and alertness
🐴 Reduces pain and muscle soreness
🐴 Lowers heart rate and blood pressure

If you feel your horse may benefit from a full assessment and massage therapy please do get in touch.
