Teaching Your Horse The Belly Lift Stretch

This is a really simple and easy stretch to teach your horse.  It's a great stretch for horses with weak, sagging toplines.  It allows the horse to mobilize the thoracic vertebra vertically and help to strengthen those abdominal muscles that support the "core" and allow the horse to lift the back and collect up.  Excellent for horses of all ages and level of fitness, but extremely helpful for the geriatric horses and broodmares whose tendancy is to lose abdominal tone with age.  http://www.heavenlygaitsequinemassage...
