A programme of regular stretching is a vital part of caring and achieving the best for your horse. Regular stretching can help ensure that its musculo-skeletal system stays healthy and supple. For any athlete involved in exercise it would be unthinkable to begin training without mobilising and stretching the joints before and after exercise and your horse is no different. A regular stretching routine is the best preventive advantage that you can give your horse. There are many benefits of passive stretching including:

• Improves posture and ‘top-line’ Increases the horse’s range of movement
• Improves performance
• Improves lateral movements and stride length
• Reduces warm up time
• Prevents injury
• Reduces tension and resistance in the muscles
• Gently lengthens and stretches scar tissue
• Reduces muscle stiffness after a workout
