Understanding your horse
Notes on movement, muscular health, recovery and rehabilitation, written for horse owners. General information only — not advice about any individual horse.
- Movement
Understanding your horse's topline
The topline is often discussed as a shape. It is more usefully understood as a function.
- Recovery
Recovery following competition
What happens in the days after an event shapes how the horse arrives at the next one.
- Performance
Why muscular balance matters
Symmetry is never perfect. The question is whether the asymmetry is changing.
- Rehabilitation
Preparing a horse for increased workload
Most setbacks follow a step up in work rather than the work itself.
Questions about your own horse?
These notes are general information for horse owners. For anything specific to your horse, an individual assessment is the place to start.
