@bonita_farm: After every ride!! stretching your horse consistently is how you gain and maintain flexibility in the soft tissues and mobility in the joints. When you create that suppleness in their bodies you won't feel the need to stretch your horse before a ride, unfortunately, I see a lot of people do this and it is very dangerous to stretch cold muscles. If it doesn't cause a big injury in the moment, it will be causing micro tears overtime. The only exception is if your horse is properly warmed up before a ride. If you are not riding your horse and you want to stretch them out, you can take them for a five or 10 minute hand walk and give them a good curry and brush because the curry comb helps break up the fascia which is the first step to warming their bodies up. Once the blood is flowing, it is safe to stretch! #fyp #viral #horsetok #fypシ゚viral #horse
