Episode #20: The Bottom Line on Topline

Topline isn’t just an aesthetically desirable trait, it’s an indicator of health and wellbeing in horses.

Join me for this episode where we look at how to support your horse’s topline.

We will explore:

  • The definition of topline including which muscle make up the dorsal chain and why the ventral chain cannot be ignored.

  • The factors that effect topline quality and how to troubleshoot some of these issues. (Nutrition, age, pain, health status, tack and equipment fit, exercise amount and quality)

  • My favourite exercises help to build topline both from the ground and under saddle.

  • This will help us reach more people and more horses, to support their journey and relationship together.
