The Hidden Signs Your Horse Isn't Using Their Core

By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 27/10/2025

Without good core engagement, other areas of the body take the strain — the back tightens, the forehand becomes heavy, and the movement loses lift and freedom. That’s when you start to see recurring soreness, short strides, or general tension that never quite goes away.

Building Strength Safely: The Step by Step Approach

By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 20/10/2025

If your horse is recovering from an injury, prone to stiffness, or just starting a conditioning journey, slow and careful strength work is the key. If you were unfit, weak, or recovering from an injury, you wouldn’t walk straight into the gym and start lifting heavy weights. The same principle applies to your horse — their body needs a gradual warm-up, activation, and gentle strength-building approach.

Safe Daily Warm Up For Every Horse

A safe, structured daily warm-up for your horse is essential. It’s especially important if your horse is being worked straight from the stable, or if the weather is colder and muscles are stiffer. A proper warm-up loosens the joints, wakes up the core muscles, and reduces the risk of injury—helping your horse move with more comfort and confidence.

Is Your Horse Straight?

By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 06/10/2025

Crookedness is something you can’t just ride through. Every horse has a stronger side, a weaker side, and little ways of compensating — and those imbalances quietly hold back strength, balance, and long-term soundness. Ignoring it is like trying to build a house on a wonky foundation — it just won’t work.
