A FEW FUN BUT IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT WHY BODYWORK CAN HELP YOUR HORSE!π
π Hands on bodywork allows me to use touch and feel to assess where your horse has tension. Observation of and interaction with your horse is key to a good bodywork session that is tailored to your horse's needs.
π All horses can benefit from bodywork!
π Horses regularly use isometric muscle contraction when they perform dressage particularly at more advanced levels!
π Horses use isometric muscle contraction in their deep back muscles, abdominal muscles and iliopsaos muscles to support their backs when carrying a rider.
π Horses use isometric muscle contraction to support and brace themselves whilst being transported.
β‘οΈ1 HOUR IN THE HORSE FLOAT OR TRUCK IS COMPARABLE TO 20 MINUTES OF TROTTING! β¬

π In Isometric contraction the muscle is working hard but there is no change in the muscle length as it contracts to hold a position.
πThis is of course only one type of muscle contraction and the subject of How Horses Muscles Work is far too complex to cover here. π
π Horses are complex amazing creatures and they are amazing teachers if we learn to listen to them!
