Dr. Hancock shares with us some important parts of our horse's nervous system that we may be influencing without really knowing it. The more we understand about how our horse's body works, which parts of the body are key parts of the nervous system, the more we can make better choices for our horse's well being. Both health and performance are affected by how well or how poorly our horse uses the nervous system. Chronic stress can lead to health issues of all kinds as well as hind our horse's ability to compete or even do the simple jobs we ask our horse to do. Hopefully this information helps you help your horse, supporting the function of the nervous system, in one way or another.

Introduction to Long lining- rebalancing your horse from the ground with Debbie Romero and Sammy - Video 1 of 3.

In this video Debbie Romero demonstrates how to start a horse with long lines from the ground to help them regain balance and connection in their body.

Long lining is a great option for young horses who are still learning how to balance themselves but is also helpful for horses of any age too.
Long lining is ideal for when you need something to balance your horse within a small window of time as it can be done in 15 - 30 minute sessions. This makes it a great option when you need something to do with your horse but do not have the time or desire to ride.
