What we practice is what we get. Walking horses prepares them for…. (insert drumroll here)…Walking.
The true fitness of a horse dictates what happens in a bodywork session and what homework will be left for the horse between sessions.
There are many aspects to fitness: general fitness, sport specific skill acquisition, and tissue training.
This last type of fitness is what is most commonly overlooked and misunderstood by practitioners. It includes ROM, control of ROM, strength in ROM and lastly, stamina.
The specific exercises left for horses by a bodyworker should come from an understanding of tissue training. This is the key to moving forward with a horse’s training!
PLEASE CONSIDER RATING, REVIEWING AND FOLLOWING THIS SHOW.
This will help us reach more people and more horses, to support their journey and relationship together.
