π’π­π«πžπ­πœπ‘ 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐑𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐑: Tail Pull

Let’s talk about the tail pull!

This simple stretch is a great way to activate your horse’s gluteals and stretch their lumbar muscles β€” helping improve comfort, stability, and balance. 🐎

While many horses love this stretch, remember:
⚠️ It does not pull the vertebrae apart past the sacrum.
βœ… It does stretch the back muscles as your horse gently resists.
βœ… It can help relieve mild back pain and support core engagement.

A few important tips:
➑️ Keep the tail straight and in line with the croup β€” no twisting or pulling to the side.
➑️ Always use slow, gentle traction.
➑️ Never jerk or pull quickly.
➑️ Hold for 10–15 seconds, a few times a week. (Not 5 minutes as mentioned in the video - oops, we all make mistakes!)

Fun Facts Friday!
This was a great article and I love that Dr. Lacher made this video to give you the quick summary. Balance pads have shown in multiple studies lot increase postural strength and stability when used over a 4 week period. This particular studies is so helpful to understand the impact of varied balance pad density on improving balance and stability.
While there are reputable Equine specific balance pads we often recommend using human ones to start and make sure your horse is willing to stand on them.

Meet Oliver! This handsome guy is a newer patient for chiropractic and acupuncture. Oliver was struggling with ataxia and a drifting hind end when he was walking. With a diligent owner, care team, and some TLC - he is gaining back his strength. His owner recently shared with us that he is being feisty in the pasture and is increasing the time he wants to stay outside! He also really likes to watch us from his stall when we refill the cookie jar (he knows Desiree will sneak him some cookies!) 🫢🏻

Tuesday Tip: Take a Lesson!
Lessons are not just for kids! While it is easy to get caught up in fixing all your horses’ imperfections, don’t forget to check in on yourself every once and a while. We don’t mean just pick apart every tiny thing you could be doing wrong but spend some time thinking about your own personal injuries and imbalances. Do you have one shoulder higher? Do you have previous ankle injury that makes it harder to sink into that side? Do you have knee or back pain that makes you sit to one side?
We already know that rider balance is essential to horse’s back health and improving their athletic ability, so how are you contributing to this balance. It can be hard to know your own faults and asymmetries, so take a lesson to focus on you as rider!
If you are aware of some of your own issues, are there exercises you can do outside of riding to help strengthen and balance yourself? We all know riding is a mental game, but every rider is an athlete and needs to give themselves the same attention as their horse. You are a team and influence each other. So take some time to work on yourself!

Turning Point Integrative Veterinary Care

Dr. Michelle Bucci started Turning Point Integrative Veterinary Care to provide mobile acupuncture services to small and large animals to Dayton and surrounding areas. After working as an equine and small animal practitioner she became a certified veterinary medical acupuncturist in order to help improve the lives of pets with minimally invasive techniques.

Acupuncture is a growing field that uses the placement of small needles to stimulate the body’s own nervous, musculoskeletal, and immune system to produce a positive response. While Traditional Chinese Medicine relies on the movement of energy. Turning Point strives to use acupuncture as an adjunct to western medicine with a focus on treating a specific medial diagnosis. Through the safe, painless insertion of needles we can to treat a multitude of diseases. Thus far, acupuncture has shown to aid in the treatment of: acute and chronic pain, neurological and muscular diseases, immune disorders, and reproductive issues. It is important to understand that while acupuncture has been show to treat many disorders, it is not a quick fix and does not cure all disorders. Acupuncture does not cure cancer but can help with secondary pain associated with chronic issues.

In 2019, we have been able to add chiropractic care to the practice. All animals can benefit from restoring motion to areas that are stiff and β€˜stuck’. It has been amazing to watch the improvements in many animals after just a couple adjustments.

It is our mission at Turning Point to provide complete compassionate care for all animals. We provide mobile veterinary acupuncture and chiropractic service to large and small animals. Most pets are more comfortable and calm in their own home or barn and allows for the patient to be treated in a stress free environment. The initial exam is extensive and will include a physical exam, neurological exam, lameness exam, and myofascial palpation exam. Turning Point is a mobile practice but does not have capabilities to do advance diagnostic imaging (ie. X-rays or ultrasound). There may be time that we will recommend further diagnostics at your regular veterinarian’s clinic.
