It’s been 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 with Madison as my right hand gal! 🧡
A year of growth, grit, laughs, long days, and doing right by the horses. Madison has stepped into this role with heart, work ethic, and a willingness to learn that you can’t teach.

Caliente Therapy wouldn’t run the way it does without her, and I’m incredibly thankful to have her as part of this team.

Help me celebrate Madison’s one year anniversary with the hottest therapy crew in KY 🔥🐴

The psoas (pronounced SO-az) is a deep core muscle in the horse that connects the spine to the hind limb.
It plays a huge role in posture, pelvic position, and how power is transferred from back to front.
Small muscle. Big impact. 🐴✨

This video dives into the TFL (tensor fascia latae) and why it matters.

Over the summer, I shared short educational tidbits while riding, and it felt like the perfect time to bring those conversations here to Facebook as well.

Hope you enjoy, learn something new along the way, & let me know what else you’d like to hear about in the comments!!

Back pain or tension doesn’t usually start in the back.

Read that again.

Most horses don’t wake up one day with a “bad back.”
They compensate into back tension because something else isn’t doing its job.

Common root causes I see ⬇️
• Poor hoof balance or delayed trims
• Weak or disconnected hind end
• A braced poll or jaw
• Saddle fit issues
• Old injuries (even ones you think they’re “over”)
• Training that skipped strength before speed

When one piece fails, the back becomes the bridge that absorbs the load.

What back tension can look like 👀
• Hollowing or dropping away from pressure
• Tight, ropey longissimus muscles
• Shortened stride behind
• Resistance to collection or bending
• Soreness that “moves around”
• Behavioral changes under saddle

And here’s the hard truth ⬇️
👉 You can’t stretch or massage your way out of a compensation pattern.

Relief without correction = temporary results.

Real change happens when we:
✔️ Restore proper movement patterns
✔️ Rebalance the body (not just the back)
✔️ Address fascia chains from feet to poll
✔️ Build correct strength, not just fitness

The back tells a story but it’s never the whole one.

Your horse isn’t being “lazy,” “cold backed,” or “difficult.”
They’re communicating.

Our job is to listen… and fix the why, not just the symptom.

This work is more than a job. It’s stewardship, patience, and showing up fully for the horses entrusted to us. 🤍

When it’s cold, windy, and not exactly ideal… we adapt and keep rolling. 😅❄️
So thankful for Madison and Kayla! So much gets accomplished in a single day, and we’re laughing the whole way through. Truly blessed to work alongside these girls. 💛

“But Jordan… isn’t your whole program based on the treadmill?”

Hot take: 𝐍𝐨𝐩𝐞.
The treadmill is a tool not the program. The horse always comes first.

Gemma came to us 120 days ago, coming off an injury. From the start, our assessment and movement analysis told us a lot:
• She needed support in her hind feet to correct low angles so she could be more comfortable and confident on her front end.
• And just as importantly… she did not enjoy the treadmill.

And here’s the thing:
If a horse isn’t having a positive experience on or around the tread, we don’t force it. Stress creates tension, tension creates compensation, and compensation is the opposite of rehab.

So we pivoted.

Instead of the treadmill, Gemma’s program included:
✔️ Corrective exercises
✔️ Strategic inclines
✔️ Backing and proprioceptive work
✔️ Thoughtful strength-building tailored to her
✔️ A full lineup of regenerative therapies PEMF, cold laser, theraplate, ozone, bodywork, stretching, and more

Then we hit another bump in the road
a bone chip in her front fetlock. Surgery was done, and she came right back to us.
We immediately started regenerative therapies and hand walking post-op, staying within vet guidelines while supporting healing at every level.

Once she was healed and cleared for exercise?
➡️ We went right back to corrective work
➡️ Continued building on the strength she already had
➡️ And eventually… we got to add loping 💃

Here’s the takeaway 👇
We achieved the same results without the treadmill.

The 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 and one I love using when it’s right for the horse.
But when it’s not? We adjust. We problem-solve. We put in consistent, diligent, intentional work.

Because rehab isn’t about the equipment.
It’s about listening to the horse, addressing root causes, and building a body that can truly last.

Gemma didn’t need the tread to succeed.
She needed the 𝗋𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍 𝗉𝗅𝖺𝗇， 𝗉𝖺𝗍𝗂𝖾𝗇𝖼𝖾， 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖺𝖽𝗏𝗈𝖼𝖺𝖼𝗒. 🤍

Do you ever just stop.
Look at your horses grazing.
No agenda. No pressure. No fixing.
And feel this overwhelming wave of joy and gratitude that hits you right in the chest and brings tears to your eyes?

These quiet moments remind me why I do what I do.
Why I advocate. Why I rehab. Why I care so deeply about doing right by them.

Because at the end of the day this is the goal.
Sound bodies. Peaceful minds. Horses just being horses. 🤍
