Equitopia Webinar – Behind the Vertical and Hyperflexion

$15.00

Category:

Description

The Negative Impact of Riding Behind the Vertical and Hyperflexion

What you will learn more about on this webinar:

🥕Anatomic Stress and Discomfort: How these positions place undue strain on the cervical vertebrae, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and nuchal ligament, and lead to physical discomfort and long-term anatomical damage for the horse.

🥕 Impaired Breathing and Back Health: Learn why riding in hyperflexion compromises the horse’s ability to breathe efficiently by restricting the throat latch area and the airways. How does this posture prevent proper movement of the back, hindering the horse’s biomechanical health and athletic performance.

🥕 Psychological and Emotional Impact: How the forced positioning creates mental distress, frustration, and discomfort, often manifesting in resistance behaviors, stress responses, and an overall decline in the horse’s willingness to work.
