Often one treatment will be of amazing benefit, and as the horse resolves the pain he may have been in for years, he will just get better and better. I also try during the treatment to give owners some releases to practice and some suggestions to correct these problems. I have found that as riders understand what sets it up, they can be quite creative in solving underlying problems. The Heart Chakra in the horse is also associated with a great deal of emotion. I have found that when horses release completely in this area of their bodies, it can change their whole outlook on life.
Horses love to stretch and lift their withers.
It is, after all, the essence of breeding maneuvers, courting and showing off to their horse friends. It is movements like these that the horse lovers throughout the centuries have tried to find a way to bring out of their mounts in every type of riding there is. It also enables the horse to carry the rider without hurting his back. It is really important to unlock this part of the horse's anatomy, both laterally and longitudinally. Notice in this show-horse's neck, the stiffness and cramping when the horse flexes back.
