Welcome to Episode35 : Every Muscle Matters: Building True Balance in the Horse

Tune in with Dr Raquel and Sophie as we discussing the appreciation of all of the muscles in the horse and a reminder not to get lost in the focus!

In this episode of the Equine Functional Posture Podcast, we explore why every muscle — not just the big movers — matters for your horse’s balance, performance, and longevity.
Learn how the often-overlooked stabilizers and lesser known muscles shape posture and movement or tell a story, and get practical tips to assess, support, and strengthen your horse's whole body for true functional soundness.

An orchestra where every instrument matters — harmony depends on all players.

Key Points Discussed:

  • Why Every Muscle Matters
  • Balance = Beauty in Motion
  • Training and Therapy Perspectives & the importance of developing the entire functional system 
  • Practical tips for assessing muscle balance

    Observe the horse as a whole, stay curious, and collaborate with your horses professionals. Every muscle has a role with balance being a dynamic interplay to encourage a improved performance and greater longevity.
