The Role of the Shoulder and Pelvic Muscle Slings in Horses

This webinar is called “The Role of Shoulder and Pelvic Muscle Slings in Horses.” It begins the journey of understanding your horse's anatomy, and how you can help them to carry a rider. We ask horses to jump, turn, go lateral, carry us up and down hills, make quick pivots, and lots of other athletic moves, so let’s get their bodies prepared to handle those forces.

In this training, we focus on the shoulder and pelvic girdles, and how the muscular slings work to power your horse. It's incredibly important to properly strengthen these muscle groups in your horse because this sets the stage for quality movement and soundness.

This webinar focuses on the "what" and "why." What are the slings? Why are they important? What do they do? What does quality movement look like? Why does posture matter? In future webinars, we'll break down the "how" and discuss assessment and strength training for these muscle groups. 

The webinar drops in the Ride Well group on 01/07/25, or can be purchased individually.
