Rehabilitation is a double-edged sword Two Beautiful horses that spent time here recuperating went home with more self-awareness of their body. These lucky horses have amazing owners with a better understanding of why the horse reacts in the way it reacts. • pain • not aware where they place their legs • shut down • over stimulated • too much too soon, and the body was not ready yet for the workload. • no fluidity in their movement • locking joints and stiff legs to maintain stability • overcompensating, building muscles on one side of the body. • atrophy on the other side of the body • restrictions through the fascia And with every horse that arrives here, I learn more There is always another layer to discover. Now the place feels empty and ready for new horses to arrive. #horserehabilitation
