Training & Rehab Exercises for Every Horse: Hind Quarter Activation & Strengthening Exercises

2 years ago

Today I would like to share with you some exercises that target the hind quarters. These exercises are designed to activate and strengthen the muscle systems whilst also, ultimately, encouraging suppleness and response in the horse.

It is worth noting that all the horses featuring in the videos within this production are at varying stages of rehabilitation so you will see that some of them find certain exercises harder or exhibit a level of emotional tension and / or physical stiffness at times. In these moments it is important to encourage the horse to keep trying but we must be careful that we do not force something that is too challenging for where they are at on their rehabilitation journey.

When first starting these exercises, always look for and reward the slightest try in the right direction. If the horse becomes stuck, then just stop… calmly reposition… and try again.

Happy Trails
