Episode #157: The Difference Between Mobility and Flexibility
This week’s episode is a fan favourite. Words carry more weight than we often realize—they shape meaning and set expectations.
Let’s examine two terms that are frequently swapped without a second thought, and uncover why that’s a mistake!
Flexibility vs. Mobility
Tune in as we explore how flexible horses are developed, and the right times to focus on flexibility training.
We’ll dive into mobility for horses, how it’s built, how the nervous system turns mobility exercises into fluid movement, and when mobility work is truly beneficial.
I don’t want to overhype it… but understanding these distinctions can make a MASSIVE impact on your horse’s well-being, performance, and post-workout recovery.
