Stretch Exercises for your horses November 21, 2008 Stretch Exercises for Your Horse: The Path to Perfect Suppleness Not impressed: while the book looks great and there are lots of good photos, the content is a bit thin. After a couple of times I realize that the information I wanted just was not there. For example, the stretch for adductors which i wanted was 5 lines, but this was after 10 pages of diagrams and pictures of stretches under saddle and with the forelimb. The stretches under saddle are vaque and too general. this could have been so much better had it more content. Not what I was expecting October 31, 2008 I am not a horse trainer, but I have have been training my own horses for 20 years. I was hoping for a book with lots of pictures that I could glance at to visually remind me of what each exercise was. But this is not the book for me. It goes through each body part and gives detailed explanation of how muscles work, then active exercises and then goes to Passive exercises. So if you were wanting to passively stretch the whole horse, you have to keep thumbing through the book. The idea of the active riding exercises is great except she doesn't tell you HOW to achieve them. For example she states that riding the horse with the head and neck "Low and round" will stretch the topline. That's great, but how do I get the horse to do that. I bought the book because I was having trouble getting this horse to do just that. Overall I have to say I was disappointed. Highly Recommended October 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful What a great book! All you need to know about your horse's muscles, why you need to stretch and in what situations, is in this book. I have never come across something quite so comprehensive and easy to understand in one book before. It has wonderful big glossy colour pictures, spiral bound for easy page turning as well as being able to keep it open on the page you want while trying out some exercises on your horse. I did several relevant stretch exercises on my horse's sore back end, and within a week he was helping to stretch himself and really seemed to enjoy it, closing his eyes, relaxing and wiggling his lips. His lunging work has also become easier as he has become more supple. I especially recommend this book for anyone doing competition work with their horses, as they can become quite tense in certain areas and this book helps to explain and show you how to release the tension. Highly recommended. Packed with Info December 29, 2007 This book will be read over and over as a handy reference guide. The topic is interesting and goes to a lot of trouble to explain in simple english, what problems may occur. Stretch Exercises for Your Horse: The Path to Perfect Suppleness May 16, 2007 Very informative. I learned how to stretch the muscle so that the horse was more supple and less likely be to injury in competition and everyday use
