Winter's slip and fall season may be behind us, but the impact on your horse's injury still lingers. As the snow melts and creates slippery conditions, it's essential to focus on your horse's recovery.
Did you know that when a horse injures itself, it changes how the joints communicate with muscles and the brain. Similarly to humans, horses adapt their movement to guard the affected area, which can sometimes lead to re-injury.
The key to successful recovery lies in patience and gradual exercise. Allow your horse time to relearn proper movement and body mechanics.
Here are some expert tips to guide you:
•Good footing
•Straight lines
•Wide turns
•Longer warm-upcool-down sessions
