Stretches and Excercises

Question
Hi,

I have an approximately 10 year old paint/morgan gelding who I ride competitively. He's not exhibiting any signs of discomfort so far, but could you give me some pre or post (or during) ride excercises and stretches that could improve him or help limber him up? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Beth

Answer
Hi Beth,

I *love* to see horses stretched regularly! Carrot stretches are basic, and should be a part of every routine, but there are lots of articles and books - even a video at horsestretching.com! Have a look at those - they can teach you much more than I ever could.

And when you do need a chiropractor, go to avcadoctors.com for a referral to a certified doctor in your area.

Good luck,

Dr Larry
