Left: Picking-up along the crest of the neck to release tension. Static and dynamic observations can assess the horse’s stance and movement. When to start checking and correctingĪ lot can be gleaned of equine mobility by observing youngsters in their natural environment. Tension patterns impact how the horse thinks, feels and learns and will significantly restrict performance. Issues here can further exacerbate tension the horse carries from its early years into all s/he does, so the cycle of unwanted behaviours and poor posture continues. One very important aspect often overlooked is that of learned posture and motion behaviour in the youngster. Foals and young horses experience inconsistent, awkward stages of growth and development and some youngsters incur injuries that will not become apparent until much later into their ridden years. We can safely implement specific therapies to all breeding stock – broodmares, foals, young stock, stallions and geldings – ensuring they receive the best possible start. The precious early yearsĮxperience has shown me that combined therapies have a profound impact on equine early years.

Certain therapies have been specifically developed to help the young horse cope with anxious and stressful times such as changes in the environment, human encounters, the weaning process, and the beginning of training.

A horse is full of dreamsĮquine therapy’s focus on performance horses brings a wealth of benefits when helping them to achieve optimum physical condition and injury prevention, yet as science moves us forwards we are finding that certain techniques applied in the early years of a horse’s life provide an excellent foundation for sound physical development and future career.įoals and young horses experience inconsistent, awkward stages of growth and development and some youngsters incur injuries that will not become apparent until much later into their ridden years. Therapy stimulates correct muscles for strength maintenance, increased stability and tension release so horses enjoy pain-free, symmetrical movement. When approached intelligently and holistically, muscle treatments guarantee a healthy flow of oxygen and nutritional yield to cells to keep body and mind in balance and aid deep relaxation. Horses can produce incredible levels of athleticism, but only if their bodies maintain full mobility of muscles and connective tissues. Some are obvious, others subtle and less easily detected. Tension and areas of tightness that arise in the horse’s body will inhibit natural movement to a greater or lesser degree. As a therapist, I see many unusual behaviours, unbalanced structures and restrictive functions in horses.
