Show Notes
What does your horses paddock posture reveal?
What if you could learn more about your horse’s posture, comfort, and biomechanics just by watching them in the paddock? Your horse spends the majority of their time in their paddock or living arrangement, and observing how they are loading through their body in these spaces is important information.
In this episode, we unpack:
What grazing posture can reveal about balance, stability, and compensation
How hard feed posture may show tension, offloading, or discomfort
Why urination and defecation positions can give clues about the pelvis, lumbar spine, stifles, abdominals, and tail
What balanced, effortless paddock posture should look like
