Episode 31: Long and Low - Effects on Posture

dimanche 27 avril 2025 • Durée 39:35

Welcome to the Equine Functional Posture Podcast Episode 31: Long and Low- Effects of Posture

If you enjoyed this episode we would love for you to share with your friends and would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating so we can continue to impact the world for the horse!

Long and low—it's a widely recognized exercise, but what does it truly achieve? Some swear by it for relaxation and strengthening, while others dismiss it as detrimental. The reality? It all comes down to execution and context.

In this episode, we dive deep into the biomechanics of long and low, exploring how it can be a powerful tool when done correctly—but also how it can create physical strain when applied without proper foundation.

Through personal experiences and multiple perspectives, we’ll discuss:

The difference between telescoping the neck and hanging it down and forward from the body
The key role of core stability in functional engagement
Common pitfalls—why some horses struggle and how to recognize quality movement
How to assess whether long and low is appropriate for your horse

Long and low isn’t a quick fix or a universal solution—it requires mindful application. Join us as we challenge misconceptions, offer practical takeaways, and help you refine your approach for a healthier, more balanced horse.

Welcome to Episode : Part 2 of 2: Developing Core Strength

Tune in with Dr Raquel and Sophie as a follow up to Part 1: Recognising Core Strength- learning the signs of good and poor core health in your horse.

In Part 2 we explore the foundations of how to develop the horses core, postural endurance, and strength at stretch in horses and riders. The discussion emphasizes developing a core that automatically engages, supports spinal alignment, and sustains movement throughout training. We also discuss how flexibility, stability, and mobility must work together for optimal performance and injury prevention.

Key Points Discussed:

Core Function (and what this really means)
Strength at Stretch
Groundwork & In-Hand Exercises for Core Activation
Saddle Fit, Rider Awareness & Connection
Progressive Strength & Endurance Training

Episode 29: Part 1 of 2: Recognising Core Strength

dimanche 13 avril 2025 • Durée 44:07

If you enjoyed this episode we would love for you to share the episode with your friends and would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating so we can continue to impact the world for the horse!!

Welcome to Episode : Part 1 of 2: Recognising Core Strength

Join Dr Raquel and Sophie and explore the core's vital role to healthy movement. A strong core is necessary(!!) for creating spinal stability and self carriage. Dysfunctional compensatory movement often develops when the core musculature is unable to engage and work to support the spine, and one of the best skills you can have is being able to observe whether your horse is using their core correctly - tune in and learn the key things to look for!

Key Points Discussed:

What makes up the horses core musculature
Core influence on thoracic sling engagement
How distal limb health is related to core strength
The link to true self carriage and movement efficiency
Signs of poor vs good core health- both standing still and in motion

Episode 28: Vets and Bodywork

dimanche 6 avril 2025 • Durée 31:48

Welcome to the Equine Functional Posture Podcast Episode 28: Vets and Bodywork

If you enjoyed this episode we would love for you to share with your friends and would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating so we can continue to impact the world for the horse!

Veterinarians play a crucial role in equine health, but with limited time and a strong focus on evidence-based treatment, their approach is often symptom-driven. With a growing vet shortage in Australia, there’s a need for better collaboration between vets and skilled bodyworkers. However, many vets hesitate to recommend due to a lack of regulations and familiarity with the benefits of bodywork.

This episode explores how bodywork can enhance veterinary care, the importance of industry standards for bodyworkers, and why an integrated approach offers the best outcome for equine well-being.

Key points:

Veterinarians knowledge & scope
Vets are limited with time
How is bodywork complimentary
Industry needs better bodyworker regulations

Episode 27: Three Observations to Develop Your Eye for Posture in Motion

dimanche 30 mars 2025 • Durée 38:40

Welcome to Episode 27: Three Observations to Develop your Eye for posture in Motion

If you enjoyed this episode we would love for you to share the episode with your friends and would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating so we can continue to impact the world for the horse!!

In this episode, we dive into three quick and effective assessments you can do today to evaluate your horse’s movement and posture. By observing from both behind and in front, you can gather valuable insights to enhance your understanding of biomechanics.

Why It Matters:

Easily set up video for long-term records and analysis.
Observations help track progress and detect subtle changes.
Knowledge is power—understanding movement can prevent future issue

Key points:

Observation of the following across the gaits

Head and neck position and motion
Pelvis motion
Limb alignment relative to each limb

Head and neck position, pelvic motion, and limb alignment are key indicators of balance and posture in motion. Observing consistency across these areas provides insight into movement efficiency and potential issues. The more you observe, the better you become at detecting subtle changes that could impact your horse’s performance and well-being.

Tune in to learn how to refine your assessment skills and develop a keener eye for movement!
