#“My horse won’t do a belly lift!”

The first thing I would say is this:
It’s far more likely that your horse is unable to do a belly lift - not unwilling.

If your horse needs a lot of pressure, or you’ve been tempted to use a hoof pick… please don’t.
Pause. Step back. And ask Why.

Jelly used to really struggle with the belly lift.
Now, when his body is in a good place, the response is effortless - for him and for me, it it isn't is is a useful indicator for me where there is tension/restrictions in his body. That change didn’t come from pushing harder; it came from improving how his body functioned.

There are many reasons a horse may not be able to perform a calm, correct, easy belly lift, including:

- Thoracic sling dysfunction - reduced ability to lift and open the base of the neck and wither due to muscle tension
- Rib or wither restrictions
- Sternum trauma
- Pectoral muscle scarring
- Gut or visceral pain
- Lumbosacropelvic restrictions, including sacroiliac ligament involvement
- Abdominal muscle strain or trauma
- Neck arthritis
- Kissing spine
- Poor overall posture that does not allow for correct structural function

When these structures can’t move or load appropriately, the belly lift simply isn’t accessible to the horse.

So instead of continuing to apply more pressure, shift your focus to structural function.

Ask whether the necessary regions can actually lift, soften, and coordinate to perform the movement.

Otherwise, all we create is brace - not mobility.
Tension - not stability.
And compensation - not true core strength.

🌿 Belly lifts are not about force.
They’re about readiness, comfort, and functional posture.

Longissimus Dorsi ✨
Today on the calendar we’re turning our attention to one of the most important muscles in the horses body, the Longissimus dorsi.

This strong muscle runs along either side of the spine from the poll to the pelvis, forming a major part of the horse’s topline. It plays a huge role in spinal stabilisation, posture, propulsion, and collection.

🙌 There are many things you can do to support this muscle:

🎄Correct, progressive training to build strength without overloading. Groundwork like poles, long-reining, and hillwork to activate the topline.

🎄 Regular massage and physiotherapy to maintain flexibility and reduce tension. Good job you are following our calendar this month 😉

🎄 Ensuring saddle fit and rider balance to avoid undue pressure.

💡 Why use red light therapy on the poll?

I love my poll cap!

The poll area (just behind the ears) is one of the most important yet sensitive parts of a horse’s body. It’s a key junction for muscles, ligaments, and nerves that influence head carriage, jaw relaxation, balance, and overall movement.

Using red light therapy on the poll can help to:
✨ Relieve tension and tightness in the poll and neck muscles
✨ Encourage relaxation through the jaw and TMJ area
✨ Improve flexion, softness, and willingness to work over the topline
✨ Support circulation and healing in a high-stress area
✨ Calm the nervous system and reduce stress or anxiety

Many horses hold tension here from poorly fitting tack, dental issues, or general workload — so applying red light helps them release that tension and move more freely and comfortably. 🐴💆‍♀️
