Learning information is valuable… but real change happens when you’re supported in applying it.

If you want to confidently read your horse’s posture, connect the dots, and then actually influence how they move for the better - enrollment is now open for the  Equine Functional Posture Course.

It’s the first program globally to combine comprehensive posture education with practical exercises that can target the whole body or specific areas and get personalised feedback from Dr. Raquel, so you don’t just learn some new information- you see real, visible change in your horse.

Episode 68: Carrot Mobilisations 

The aim of ground or static exercises is improved movement, comfort and function. Carrot stretches are one of the most recommended ground exercises by bodyworkers and trainers to their clients - we break down what makes a stretch effective so you aren't wasting your time! Simple on the surface, incredibly valuable when done well… surprisingly easy to get wrong!

We discuss: 

Common mistakes we see in practice; from snatching to leaning to twisting 

What’s happening anatomically, and how spinal alignment (and what that even is!) is key

How improvement in your ridden work depends on the quality not quantity of your stretch

 Please - if you do carrot stretches or will in the future - do your horse a favour and have a listen!
