3 signs your horse might need bodywork:
1. They warm up out of it,
If your horse starts stiff but improves as you go, this is a warning sign of underlying tightness or restriction.
2. One rein is always more difficult,
Consistently struggling more on one side isn’t just a training problem. It often means there is an imbalance, asymmetry, or discomfort.
3. They struggle to pick up or maintain a certain canter lead,
A horse that repeatedly disunites, struggles to kick off on a particular lead, or falls out of canter easily.. This can be coming from a weakness or restriction through the hindquarters.
Subtle signs are easy to overlook, but they matter in the long run. Small issues now can turn into big issues later.
