How to Help Your Horse’s Adjustments Last Longer 🐴
✔️ Keep Them Moving
Regular, low-impact movement like turnout, walking, or light groundwork keeps the joints mobile and the nervous system active.
✔️ Watch Saddle Fit & Tack
Poor-fitting tack can undo progress quickly. Make sure your saddle and gear support proper posture and movement.
✔️ Warm-Up & Cool-Down
Always ease into and out of work. A good warm-up and cool-down help muscles and joints stay balanced.
✔️ Regular Bodywork
Massage, stretching, craniosacral therapy, and other supportive modalities can reduce tension and help adjustments hold.
✔️ Balanced Hoof Care
Proper trimming and shoeing are key. If the feet are off, the rest of the body will compensate.
✔️ Reduce Stress
Emotional stress affects physical balance. Minimize sudden changes, offer routine, and create a calm environment.
✔️ Follow a Consistent Schedule
Sticking to a chiropractic care plan—even when your horse “seems fine”—helps prevent old patterns from returning.
Every horse is different, and consistent, thoughtful care makes a big difference in how long adjustments hold and how well your horse performs or feels. 💛
