Stretching

Welcome to our course on equine stretching, where you’ll learn how to safely and effectively improve flexibility, mobility, and overall comfort in horses through targeted stretching exercises. Stretching is an essential part of a balanced training and wellness programme, helping to prevent injuries, support recovery, and optimise performance. When done correctly, stretching can release tension, improve joint range of motion, and promote circulation, contributing to the overall physical and mental well-being of the horse.

In this course, we’ll explore the science behind equine stretching, types of stretches (both passive and active), and techniques for targeting specific muscle groups. You’ll learn how to assess your horse’s needs, recognise signs of discomfort, and customise stretching routines for horses in various stages of fitness and training. Whether you’re a trainer, therapist, or equine enthusiast, this course will equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to incorporate safe, effective stretching into your equine care regimen. Join us to discover the benefits of stretching and learn how it can enhance your horse’s flexibility, strength, and quality of life.
