This horse was sore through the neck, back AND hamstrings… but I didn’t just treat the sore spots. 👇

The horse’s body is connected, and tension in one area can influence another.

Tension through the neck can affect how the horse uses its back, pelvis and hindquarters — which can ultimately contribute to hamstring soreness.

Rather than simply chasing the sore spots, I look at the connections between them.

I used to use tools a lot more in my treatments, but over time I’ve moved back to a more hands-on approach.

Working with my hands allows me to feel subtle changes, follow the tension and adjust what I’m doing based on what the horse is telling me.

The principle is simple:

Don’t just treat where it hurts.
Understand the connections.
Work with the horse as a whole.

Before you blame the bucking… check the back.

This horse was extremely sore through the back and had started bucking under saddle.

Bucking. Stiffness. Trouble bending. Resistance.

Sometimes the behaviour is a sign that something isn’t right physically.

This horse was sore through the poll, hyoid, pectorals, and girth a, combination I see far more often than most people realise.

When these areas become tight and painful, horses can struggle to bend evenly, soften through the neck, lift through the shoulders, and move comfortably through the body. Many horses start compensating elsewhere, which can eventually lead to stiffness in other areas.

If your horse struggles to bend its neck one way or feels stiff on one rein, there can be a few reasons.

Many people think it’s the hyoid… and that certainly can be one cause.

But in my experience, there’s one spot that’s even more common.

Can you guess where it is? Watch the video and I’ll show you exactly where to check.

This horse was extremely sore through the back and glutes.

When these areas become tight and painful, horses often struggle to engage their hindquarters, lift through the back, and move freely. Over time, they begin to compensate in other parts of the body, which can eventually lead to even more discomfort and reduced performance.

The key isn’t just treating where the horse reacts—it’s understanding why they’re reacting and how the rest of the body is contributing to the problem.

That’s exactly what we teach inside our online course. You’ll learn how to identify areas of tension and use simple hands-on techniques to help your horse move more comfortably.

Is your horse girthy?

I normally start with Touch Therapy and then finish with a little fascia manipulation to help soften the area around the top of the scapula.

These are techniques I teach step-by-step inside my online course.
