I need to strengthen my horses quads due to stifle lock. If you could show best excercises for this that would be great.

[@Teresasblaze]

My pony doesn’t respond to your horsey sit-up exercise and I don’t know why. He’s a gypsy cob type conformation

[@safiaaslam]

Thanks for this. I'm beginning a part loan that has lost her top line she is 21 but still healthy, so it's good to know how I can help her!

[@abbygrace7891]

I also have a 21 y/o horse who’s lost some topline! I’m trying different things to get his back too.

[@oneofamillion4951]

Me too! She's 21 and had previously bad fitting saddle and riding. I'll see what I can do to rehab and make her more comfy during riding. Here's to the 21s!

CONTRACTION OF THE VENTRAL CHAIN OF MUSCLES ON THE HORSES BOTTOM LINE IS MOST IMPORTANT.. THE TOP LINE MUST BECOME ACTIVATED BUT MUST STAY RELAXED1

[@lilik6945]

great tip! by activating the horses core, the dorsal chain becomes a bridge that supports the rider like a sling. no actual muscle contraction in the back is needed to carry the weight

😊

[@roisinc8299]

Are these more effective before or after exercise?

[@VitalityEquine]

I'd say they are more effective before! In an ideal world, apply both before and after :D

[@roisinc8299]

@@VitalityEquine Great thank you! :)

[@christinesibona6553]

What kind of brush is it that you're using in exercise 1?

[@Masatisan]

its a plastic curry

[@Conny226]

I would be scared to horse kick me

[@KTDbarrelracing]

Horses don’t usually kick if they know your behind them
