In this episode, April discusses show jumping and eventing horses.

Jumping is very hard on a horse's body. 

Healthy hooves provide a good foundation for overall horse health. 

Next, jumpers need to be able to do horse yoga. If not, there are issues that need to be addressed. It starts in the front end. If the shoulders can't move freely, the horse can't pick up the front legs to get over the jump. That throws stress onto the hind end to compensate. 

The hips then become misaligned and the horse doesn't have the power to push off the ground, nor pick his hind feet up, and then knocks a rail down.

Taking care of the horse's joints are key to keeping them jumping.
