Hi! New here…
Bit of a story, so bear with me please!
So last year, my mare had a hind end injury. I’m thinking SI, as she did a sliding stop when playing in pasture, on rough, very uneven ground. It was fairly severe, so had her on stall rest for weeks. Unfortunately, I went in blind on this, as I’m very remote and the only large animal vet in the area wouldn’t return my calls, or give me any info on equine exams when I went in person. I finally gave up and basically hoped for the best with the recovery of my horse. It has been eight months and she is now recovered to the point of light riding (I’m not riding her currently tho) and is perfectly sound to play around in pasture with her friends.
However, there is still something there that I’m not pin pointing. I’m waiting for our equine sports therapy/rehab person to get back from their extended (think months long lol) vacation and I will be taking my mare to them. But in the meantime, my mare’s attitude, her athleticism, and overall body language shows she’s much happier when I hose down her hind end (residual inflammation) then do leg stretches and top line stretches with her on a daily basis. I’m not worried about reinjuring her as I only go as far as she allows me.
So I am looking for different stretches that pin point the hind legs/quarters and the top line. I’ve used good old Google but it seems most of the stretches focus on shoulders and front end.
