With Jenny Adamson, Equine Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist
A simple 10-minute daily routine, built around the right exercises, can make such a profound difference to your horse’s strength, balance, and long-term soundness.
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.
January is one of the most powerful times of year to support your horse’s body. Because what you do now doesn’t just affect the next few weeks. It shapes how your horse will feel, move, and cope when spring riding really begins.
When the temperature drops, many horses move less — they stand in more, their muscles tighten, and joints can feel a little creaky. But winter doesn’t have to mean losing strength, suppleness, or progress.
