With Jenny Adamson, Equine Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist
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.
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.
