Episode #151: All Episodes Judith Rathbone Season: 1 Episode: 151 DYN Mobilizing Your Horse’s Front and Hind Limbs

In this episode, we uncover the magic of leg circles, a simple yet powerful exercise to elevate your horse’s mobility, health, and performance. This science-backed technique involves gently rotating a horse’s front or hind limbs to lubricate joints, engage stabilizing muscles, and awaken the nervous system through non-habitual movements inspired by the Feldenkrais Method.

By improving range of motion (ROM) and fostering neuroplasticity, leg circles help horses move with greater ease, prevent stiffness, and enhance coordination- perfect for everything from dressage to trail riding. With clear, step-by-step guidance, this episode makes it easy for horse owners to start this practice, focusing on small, mindful movements that lead to big results.
