Episode #6: Flexibility vs Mobility


This week’s episode is a little bit different. 

Words mean more than we think. They carry meaning and as a result, expectations. 

Let’s look at these two words that seem to get used interchangeably, and discover why they shouldn’t be!

Flexibility vs. Mobility 

Join me for this week’s episode where we will look at how flexible horses are made, and when it’s appropriate to do flexibility work. 

We will look at mobility in horses, how that is made, how the nervous system translates mobility work into locomotion, and when it’s appropriate to do mobility work.

Not to sound too dramatic… but these things make a HUGE difference to your horse, his performance and his recovery from workouts.
