Why Your Horse Feels Better for a While… Then Slips Back Again

Why Your Horse Feels Better for a While… Then Slips Back AgainBy: Jenny Adamson Published on: 26/01/2026

If you’ve ever had a phase where your horse suddenly feels softer in the contact, easier to bend, more relaxed through their back — only to find yourself a few weeks later dealing with the same old issues again… You’re not imagining it. This cycle is incredibly common, and the missing piece is where the training focus is placed.

Many dedicated horse owners feel like they’re working hard, doing the “right” exercises — yet somehow ending up back at the same crookedness, stiffness, or resistance. That’s frustrating. And it can quietly chip away at your confidence as a rider.

Training Straightness

Training StraightnessBy: Jenny Adamson Published on: 12/01/2026

Every horse is naturally asymmetrical, just like we are. One side stronger, one side more coordinated, one side that prefers to do the work. When the body isn’t trained to redistribute that load evenly, it finds clever ways to cope. Left unaddressed, this pattern can turn into injury.

Why Exercises Alone Don't Fix Crookedness

Why Exercises Alone Don't Fix CrookednessBy: Jenny Adamson Published on: 29/12/2025

You’ve been doing exercises. You’ve been consistent. And yet your horse still leans, drops a shoulder, or struggles to move evenly. Exercises alone can’t fix crookedness. Crookedness is a whole‑horse pattern, and without a clear, guided pathway, your horse will keep compensating, no matter how many exercises you do.
