Dynamic Mobilisation Exercises (DMEs) are one of the simplest yet most valuable exercises you can incorporate into your horse’s routine. 🐴

Research has demonstrated that consistent DME programs can increase the cross sectional area of the deep spinal stabilising muscles, particularly the multifidus, which plays an important role in segmental spinal stability.

These exercises encourage controlled spinal flexion, extension and lateral bending, helping to improve mobility, muscular activation and postural control.

But here’s the catch. consistency matters! Performing them once a fortnight isn’t going to produce the same adaptations as following a structured, progressive program.

Just a few minutes of correctly performed exercises, several times a week, can make a meaningful difference over time.

And yes I can usually tell when you haven’t been doing your homework. 😂

Can we PLEASE stop describing horses as being “out” somewhere?

“His pelvis is out.”
“Her SI is out.”
“His poll is out.”

What does “out” actually mean? Please tell me

Is the practitioner describing pain on palpation? Increased muscle tone? Reduced range of motion? Asymmetry? Guarding? Joint stiffness? A gait abnormality?

These are observations we can actually communicate.

Saying a horse is “out” is lazy, non-specific terminology. It gives the owner very little meaningful information and can imply that a joint or bone has somehow moved out of its normal anatomical position and needs to be “put back in.”

As practitioners, we should be able to describe what we found, where we found it, and what we think its clinical relevance is without the need to hide behind vague terminology.
