Description
Equestricare is very excited to bring this workshop to you together with Off the Track WA Community Fund, an Initiative of RWWA.
This workshop will teach safe stretching, groundwork, and ridden exercises designed to strengthen the musculoskeletal system, build correct posture, and support long-term soundness of our equine partners.
It will demonstrate how to reduce the risk of injury by strengthening weak areas, support the horses’ ability to adapt to new disciplines and enhance welfare through improved biomechanics.
9:30 – 10:45
Why Posture Matters (classroom session)
This session will cover what posture means for the horse and how it affects soundness, performance and behaviour. We will look at common postural weaknesses, muscle imbalance and protective tension.
