[RC] [Guest] mini-crisis-stretching - Ridecamp Moderator

Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx
Your horse stretching may not be anything but him wanting to feel good. Was reading in an article about stretching the following: "...seen a horse stretch like a cat, within front legs out in front of him and his croup high in the air. ... By changing the position of the idfferent fasciculi of the muscle through sliding int he interfascicular spaces you're improving the blood supply. A lack of blood supply leads to discomfort...that's why you will see horses stretch spontaneously."


Checking for ulcers is a great idea and highly recommend it but saw this and thought of your mini-crisis and hoping it may not be more than trying to feel good. I recommend including a stretching regieme if you don't already do it.

Good luck
