With Jenny Adamson, Equine Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist
As we head towards the end of the year, the weather is unpredictable, the days are short and motivation comes and goes. Winter asks you to choose how you support your horse, rather than drifting into doing nothing or feeling guilty for not riding.
For some of us, winter exercise for our horses isn’t optional. If you’re rehabbing, starting post-rehab strength work, or supporting a senior horse, keeping your horse moving through the colder months is simply non-negotiable for their health.
The approach of winter can make even the most dedicated horse owners feel like slowing down. You can tell yourself, “It’s too dark, too cold, too difficult,” or you can decide to reframe autumn as a chance to lay solid foundations for the months ahead.
Horses are incredibly sensitive beings. They can pick up on the smallest changes in our body language, breathing, and even our thought patterns. Science shows that our nervous systems actually sync with theirs — so if we’re carrying tension, stress, or self-doubt, our horses feel it instantly.
