Does your horse exhibit:

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to find Weaknesses and Trigger points that are causing Pain and Compensation and what to do to release these points using Osteopathic-type movements, MFR and Acupressure Points. We’ll also cover some Core Activating exercises for the horse to maintain strength, flexibility and balance.
