🙌🏻Reinforcing a session with movement and correct development of the body🙌🏻
This. is. everything.
For my wellness, maintenance, and performance horses I preach how important proper development of the body is to keep the horse on the right track in between sessions.
A lot of the time, I can immediately tell when the homework is being done…
And when it’s not.
Horses all have their problem spots. 100%. However, a lot of the time stepping back and reevaluating the movement and muscular patterns of the horse tells the whole story. Sometimes the patterns are caused by compensation. Sometimes they are not.
I am a huge proponent of incorporating the Balance Through Movement Method , corrective exercises, and proper stretching into client’s homework to improve the balance of the body at home.
Movement, done effectively and intentionally, can be an incredible tool to assist the body in fascial and nervous system reprogramming.
My job is to help improve the horse. I want to see the horse better than when I first saw it.
When we hit a plateau, it’s for a reason.
Poor nutrition, feet, saddle fit issues, teeth, environment, how the horse is worked, etc.
Every second on the clocks counts. So does every detail in the preparation. It’s takes an entire team. And we have to work together. Collaborating, evaluating, making adjustments, and doing the homework.
Every 1% matters. 🔑✨
