How does it work?
The Equine PT method works by systematically improving the horse’s posture and mobility which has the on-flowing effect of making him better balanced, straighter, less one-sided and more capable of carrying a rider.
This kind of work has proven to make horses easier to ride, by making the horse more physically able to do what the rider is asking. As a result many common riding/schooling issues begin improving all on their own!
There’s a whole family of courses available, although the best place to start is 6-week Equine PT Online Course as it teaches you everything you need to know so you can start getting results with your horse.
The Online Course is a combination of a follow-along exercise program to do with your horse so he starts getting stronger and more supple from the very beginning.
At the same time the time you’ll be learning the key points of the science behind the method so you can understand the why (ie. why it actually works!) as well as learning the “how to” and so you can put the theory into practice.
What kind of horses can it work for?
If your horse needs more topline, whatever his age, this is the program for you! I have been doing Equine PT with my horses for years, and with my pupil’s horses and client’s horses too. Time and time again it’s worked for horses of all ages, fitness levels and disciplines.
This Exercise Program was designed for a team of older lesson ponies, I was looking for a way to exercise them that didn’t involve riding so I could build up their topline, reduce age-related stiffness and strengthen their core postural muscles, allowing them to do their (very important) work of carrying beginner children as easily as possible.
As the name suggests, it’s all about creating a personal training program that’s been crafted for the individual horse and rider combination.
Which means at the end of the course you will have a Personalised Plan, a Workout routine that’s been custom-designed for your individual horse.
If it can work for a 25yo horse like Vladimir, it can work for healthy horses of all ages!
