The Power Behind the Chest — Your Horse’s Pectoral Muscles!

Did you know your horse’s pectoral muscles do way more than just fill out their chest? These muscles are responsible for bringing the front legs inward, stabilizing the shoulder, and helping your horse lift and move efficiently through turns, stops, and transitions.

When the pecs are tight or sore, you might notice:
🐴 Shortened stride in the front end
🐴 Resistance when turning or stopping
🐴 A “heavy on the forehand” feel

Regular bodywork helps keep these muscles soft, loose, and working in balance with the rest of the body — especially important for performance horses that need every ounce of power and precision.

A happy chest = freer movement, smoother turns, and a more comfortable ride!

Don’t overlook these muscles!!

Let’s Talk About the Poll

The poll (the area right behind your horse’s ears) might be small, but it plays a huge role in how your horse feels and moves!

When the poll is tight or restricted, it can affect:
🐴 Flexion and softness through the bridle
🐴 The ability to collect and round properly
🐴 Balance and straightness
🐴 Overall comfort — even all the way down the back and hind end

Because so many important muscles, nerves, and joints connect through the poll, tension here can cause a domino effect throughout the entire body.

That’s why regular bodywork can make such a difference — releasing tension in the poll helps your horse move more freely, stay relaxed, and perform at their best.

Have you ever noticed your horse shake their head, brace in the neck, or resist flexion? It might just be their poll asking for a little extra care!

Movement Monday——
A horse that moves freely performs better — it’s that simple. Whether you’re working barrels, jumping, or just enjoying a trail ride, your horse’s movement tells you so much about how their muscles are feeling.

This week, take a moment to watch your horse walk from the side and behind. Are their hips swinging evenly? Are their steps relaxed and fluid? How’s their stride?
Subtle changes can reveal tightness or soreness before it turns into a bigger issue.

Regular massage keeps that movement smooth, balanced, and pain-free so your horse can feel their best every ride.
Never miss a Monday!!

Feel-Good Friday: Match Your Horse’s Energy Before You Ride

Before you swing a leg over today, take a minute to tune in to your horse. Feel their energy — are they tight, calm, ready to work, or a little distracted? Horses feed off our energy, so if you bring a calm, focused mindset to the warm-up, your horse is more likely to settle in and give you their best run.

A quick moment of stillness and connection before the ride can make all the difference in how your horse moves, focuses, and performs.

Something to try-
See if your horse will match your deep breath. When you get on- take a deep breath out and see if your horse will do the same.
