⭐️ First ever massage for Scout! ⭐️
Scout’s owner came to me because he had started toeing-out for the first time in his life. I watched him move and it was quite obvious in his stride that he was uncomfortable in his entire front end.
Upon initial visual evaluation, I flagged his hooves. Fronts long in the toe, short in the heel, and just too long in general. Hind angles were more even, and shorter than the fronts.
A horses hooves are paramount to their movement and biomechanics. Scout’s hind end and pelvis were taking on a huge load of work to alleviate the discomfort he was having in his front end.
Image 1 - less “camping under” in his front legs, indicating less stress in the shoulders and thoracic sling, and released tension in his R pec.
Image 2 - pelvic angle so much more relaxed. He is less tucked under himself.
Image 3 - muscle distribution notably more even, less push into the left side likely due to helping balance his pelvic angle.
Scout’s owner asked me about his hooves before I even began his pre-session eval - I am so grateful to have such attentive and intuitive clients 👏 Let’s work together to keep your horse feeling their best !!!
