Why does your horse still lack topline? Why does your rehab plan keep failing?

🚩Here’s the truth: it’s not just about muscles.

Your horse’s ability to stand tall, lift their back, and carry themselves correctly isn’t just a matter of strength. It depends on how their brain and body work together through the senses—sight, balance, touch, and awareness of where their body is in space.

If those systems aren’t working well, your horse will keep falling back into poor posture and movement patterns, no matter how many exercises or poles you add. That’s why so many rehab programs stall out or never deliver the topline you’re working toward.

Think of it this way: if the brain is organizing movement based on “bad information,” the horse will keep moving in protective, crooked, or inefficient ways. That means the right muscles—like those along the topline—never get activated properly.

Rehabilitation that really works goes beyond strength. It helps your horse’s nervous system relearn how to balance, move, and use their body with confidence. This can include things like:

✅ Specific poprioceptive exercises that build body awareness first
✅ Gentle changes in footing or terrain to challenge balance when ready
✅ Tactile stimulation or groundwork that encourages posture resets
✅️ The often over looked and most important thing when it comes to rehabilitation > Bit n contact reset

When the brain gets the right input, the body can finally produce the right output. That’s when your horse’s topline starts to come back—strong, functional, and pain-free.

Training rides on this school horse are a bit different than the real horses 😅

I’m experimenting with some new ideas for riders’ ankles, which means I get to ride the Blue and play around!

Interested in what ideas I’m playing with? Book a session and learn something new about your feet and ankles!

While on a clinic some time ago, and again at a competition yesterday, I noticed a rider carrying their phone in their rear (right) pocket while riding.

This should be avoided at all levels.

Placing a phone in the rear pocket is likely too:

1) Significantly affect the function of the rider’s seat
2) Compromise the effectiveness of the rider’s seat aid
3) Induce/create rider asymmetry
4) Lead to uneven loading of the saddle and horse
5) Compromise rider-horse interaction

Although carrying a phone while riding can be useful for safety and other purposes (apps), alternative locations should be considered.

Note: sharing as an observation. We have not shown this experimentally (yet).

’s 3 year old Tilly did some new things with ! Tilly started learning more about her body wearing a which helps her to find proprioception, engage her hind end and core, and so much more! With a thoughtful and slow introduction, tools like this are such an asset to any horse, including youngsters.

Nothing but the best for our lesson horse Reggie ❤️ bodywork is a huge part of keeping him sound for many more years. At 24 years old, I’ll do anything to keep him happy and he sure does love Leslie 🥹

Every horse can benefit from so our hardworking Blue got her turn today 😉 always a good time spent sharing knowledge with likeminded professionals so we all can team up to help riders and horses!
