Each equine sport affects the equine athlete in a different way. For the Jumper horse some of those elements include quick turns, impact of landing, low heel long toe, take off, speed and hyperextension of the distal limbs. Each of these elements affects the muscles and joints in a different way than other sports. A Professional Body worker will be able to target these muscle groups and help to provide soft tissue relief to your horse.
Muscle groups that are important to address in the Jumping Horse include:
Gluteal muscles, Quadriceps and Hamstrings
Digital flexors
Muscles associated with the Psoas muscle groups
Pectoral sling
Shoulder sling including serrated ventral neck and trunk muscles
Shoulder, Carpal and digital limb extensors, flexors and joint support
