Episode 45: Observing the Back-Up
What can your horse’s back-up tell you about their biomechanics, coordination, and comfort? In this episode, we dissect this specific movement.
We explore:
• Why backing up is unavoidable in practical settings
• The difference between a trained response vs. true postural awareness
• How connection, relaxation, and flow are reflected in the back-up
• What to assess including limb coordination and back tension
• Subtle signs of discomfort or reduced function
• When backing up might not be appropriate
