Episode #154: Unlocking Your Horse's Spinal Strength
In this week’s episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast we dive into the unsung hero of your horse’s spine: the multifidus. This small but mighty muscle plays a massive role in both human and equine spines, but it’s uniquely adapted to support your horse’s four-legged, weight-carrying lifestyle. We’ll explore the key differences between the human and equine multifidus, why these distinctions matter for movement, and how understanding this muscle can elevate your horse’s training and bodywork. From core strength to preventing back pain, the multifidus is the key to a happier, healthier horse—whether in the arena or on the trail. Tune in to learn how to keep this spinal superstar in top shape!
