Have you ever wondered…
• What makes a horse bite the air when he sees the rider
coming with the saddle?
• Why does a horse do snake its neck as soon the girth touches
the belly?
• How does the shape of the neck change into a dip at the
withers on certain horses?
• Why does it look like the front end isn’t connected
to the hind end?
• What prevents some horses from tracking straight?
• Do certain saddle pads help or hurt a horse’s back?
• Is it normal for a horse to pin its ears when asked for
the
canter?
The online horse forums are jammed with people asking questions
like these about their horses' health and performance.
No other single resource contains as much information on understanding
horses in pain, the subtleties of tack-fitting, and benefits
of stretching, rest, properly fitting tack, chiropractics, acupuncture
and thermography as this DVD.
A horse doesn’t have to have a head bob to be unsound!
The 75+ minute DVD is punctuated with actual cases, full demonstrations,
and heart-felt instruction. A Tevis Cup veteran endurance horse
stands on the farrier’s mats for help after hoof thermography
sends clues to the treatment team. Will remedying the asymmetric
hoof wall length be the answer?
When “Bute and Stall Rest” is not the answer...
Saddle after saddle is compared for horses with high withers,
narrow withers and short vs long backs. Is a round-skirted barrel-racing
saddle always the answer for a short-backed Quarter horse? Are
treeless saddles always better for a horse? And what about side
reins and lunging rigs—can they help a horse get into a
frame if the horse is already sore in the back or poll?
Dr. Robson states, “Too often the horse is blamed for
being bad or intentionally trying to anger its owner. We must
learn to take a step back and listen to what the horse is trying
to tell us. Most behavioral and training issues are merely
the horse’s expression of pain.”
