The Horse's Pain-Free Back and Saddle-Fit Book by Joyce Harman Pdf

When your horse suddenly develops a performance problem or a bad attitude and neither seem to be remedied by new training techniques or medical care, you often face months—even years—of frustration and career limitation. Dr. Joyce Harman, veterinarian and respected saddle-fitting expert, states that 75 percent of horses with such issues are simply reacting to pain caused by ill-fitting saddles. And, as she explains in this thorough and highly illustrated book, poor saddle fit can be corrected with patience and know-how.

Is Your Horse 100%? by Margret Henkels Pdf

100 percent ability is in your hands! Conformation Balancing is deceptively simple. With patient, conscientious placement of your hands on specific areas of the horse’s body, you can bring about profound change in his physical and mental well-being. The secret? The internet-like web of fascia beneath the skin. Fascia is the connective tissue that “holds everything together”—it wraps around, attaches, and stabilizes muscles and internal organs, communicating with all parts while providing structure and organization. But here’s the thing: Fascia is also a reservoir for emotional trauma and tension. This means that when you help a horse find physical release in a “stuck” area of strain or stiffness, you invite psychological healing as well.

Ten of the Best - Book 9 by Sue Palmer Pdf

The principle that underlies 'Understanding Horse Performance: Brain, Pain or Training?', previous 'Book of the Month' in Horse magazine, is that your horse can only communicate pain or discomfort through his behaviour or performance. But how do you distinguish between the horse who is playing you up, the horse who doesn't understand what's being asked of him, and the horse who is genuinely uncomfortable? My experience is that many people assume misbehaviour initially, and it can be several months or even years down the line before the search for discomfort begins. By this time, the relationship between horse and rider is often damaged beyond repair, if they've even managed to stay together that long. Too many horses are passed from home to home because of difficult behaviour, when all they're trying to do is explain to their owners that they are hurting somewhere. The problem is blamed on the rider - you're too inexperienced, too nervous, you need to be tougher on him, you sit wonky, you just need to kick on, etc. The 'gadgets' come out to stop the horse from expressing the behaviour, or the more experienced rider rides him through the problem, but the horse continues to suffer.

Suffering in Silence by Jochen Schleese Pdf

Humans and horses have been joined for thousands of years, and for much of that time, one thing has served as the primary point of physical contact between them: the saddle. However, for many horses and many riders, the saddle has been no less than a refined means of torture. Horses have long suffered from tree points impeding the movement of their shoulder blades; too narrow gullet channels damaging the muscles and nerves along the vertebrae; and too long panels putting harmful pressure on the reflex point in the loin area. Male riders saddle up despite riding-related pain and the potential for serious side effects, such as impotence, while female riders endure backache, slipped discs, and bladder infections, to name just a few common issues. We must ask ourselves: How much better could we ride and how much better could our horses perform if our saddles fit optimally? If they accommodated the horse’s unique conformation and natural asymmetry? If they were built for the differing anatomy of men and women? The answers to all these questions are right here, right now, in this book.
