🐴 HARD GROUND CAN AFFECT YOUR HORSE’S WAY OF GOING 🐴
With the recent dry weather, fields, tracks and arenas can become much harder underfoot. This can have an impact on how your horse moves, especially when the ground is uneven or unforgiving.
Hard ground may contribute to:
• Shorter or restricted strides
• Changes in rhythm or way of going
• Increased muscle tension and stiffness
• Reduced flexibility through the back and neck
• Increased concussion through the limbs
• Muscle soreness or tension after exercise
• Compensatory movement patterns
• Difficulty working comfortably on one rein or in certain transitions
