Did you know that: Nearly everything can affect
your horse's back, his conformation, shoeing, fitness, saddle, training, as
well as what you expect of him. Yet, many back problems can go unnoticed or
can sometimes result in the horse being labeled "difficult".
A horse will alter the way it carries/balances itself to compensate for an
injury (however slight), poorly fitting tack, bad rider position(!), a bump,
strain, landing heavily while jumping, a twist or even if he has just "tweaked"
something while rolling.
This often results in excess strain to parts of the horse's back and, even
after the original cause has gone, can show up in a change in the horse's
performance or behaviour.
There are many things a horse owner can do to help look after their horses'
backs. Jill Firth's new e-book "Looking After Your
Horse's Back" is available for download NOW! It's sure to pay
for itself many times over, in reduced vets' bills!

it's back.
