With Jenny Adamson, Equine Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist
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.
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.
If you’ve ever brought your horse back into work after box rest or a long break, and something still doesn’t feel quite right—you’re not alone. Box rest doesn’t just affect fitness—it causes a massive loss of core strength. And that has long-term consequences if it’s not addressed.
