When winter settles in, the horses tell a different story ā and so do their bodies. āļøš“
Cold weather changes the way tissue moves, holds tension, and responds to work. Tight backs feel tighter, old compensation patterns show up quicker, and even the warm-hearted āhard keepersā suddenly need a little extra support to stay comfortable.
Thatās where bodywork becomes especially meaningful. Winter sessions help:
- Restore circulation to areas that tend to stiffen in the cold
- Support muscle elasticity before and after rides
- Ease those slow-building micro-tensions that winter can amplify
- Keep horses feeling balanced when footing, routine, and temperatures fluctuate
The season may be quieter, but the needs arenāt ā and weāre here for both the small shifts and the bigger stories unfolding under your horseās skin.
If youāre noticing changes in your horse as the temps drop, winter is actually one of the best times to start a consistent bodywork plan. Visit: https://montanarosequinetherapy.com/
