Brilliant video showing how in depth we all need to be thinking when it comes to proper welfare and management of our horses.
Also highlights why in many cases things will fall apart when they are left unchecked.

Love the explanations of ‘harmony’ … the sometimes illlusive feeling we are all no doubt searching for when riding or being near our horses.
Harmony to me is the best feeling in the world … it fuels my horse addiction. What fuels yours??

In human back pain research there is consistent evidence that whilst posture and pain can be linked there is not strong causation between these factors - it is way more complex!

For riding horses there are some postures we want to avoid long durations in, which are linked with back pain and pathology. However, the horse should have access to all the ranges of joint position and soft tissue length (mobility and flexibility) during movement to prepare and support their bodies for all activities. In these postures they can then develop stability and strength during training.

This is the pathway to optimum function.

The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain is a film that dares to challenge the way we look at "badly behaving" horses, and promotes the notion that lamen...

Interesting read about finding a link between genetics and kissing spine predisposition.

Researchers discovered a connection between Chromosome 25 and the presence of kissing spines in horses.
