IMPROVE PERFORMANCE WHILST REDUCING INJURY



With the use of specialist massage techniques and tailored exercise prescriptions,  this is my main goal for clients.

Exercises Include:

- Limb and neck stretches

Carrot stretches to improve flexibility in your horses neck and passive stretches in the limbs to improve flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.

- Pole work, both ridden and in hand

Raised poles, ground poles and different exercises can improve top line muscles and increase suppleness.

- Transition work, both ridden and in hand

Improve back and hind limb muscles simply by increasing the amount of transitions in each session.

- Stretching sessions

Allow muscles to stretch and naturally release any build up of tension to reduce injury risk.

- Proprioception work

With the use of tools such as poles, limb weights and different surfaces, improve co ordination and proprioception to improve performance.

- Working in a correct posture

Improve top line muscles and reduce risk of injury simply by working your horse in a correct posture.

- Dynamic Mobilisation Exercises

Abdominal lifts and pelvic tilts are just some of the ways muscles can be stimulated before and after work.

- Lunging and groundwork exercises

Backing up, turning on the forehand and shoulder-in work can build muscle, improve suppleness and thus improve performance.
