Episode #201: Understanding Iliopsoas Dysfunction
Have you ever sensed that something feels a little off in your horse’s hindquarters or engagement, even when nothing obvious stands out?
Maybe your horse shows reduced impulsion, shortened strides, toe scuffing, a roached back, compensatory gluteal problems, or resistance under saddle?
In this episode we explore a deep and often overlooked source of discomfort that can quietly affect movement, performance, and overall wellbeing— iliopsoas dysfunction.
Join me as we uncover what these powerful muscles do, how to spot the subtle signs that they need support, and the gentle practical steps that can help restore strength and ease. You will leave with a clearer understanding and fresh ideas for helping your horse move with greater comfort and confidence.
