Endurance

Are you getting as far as you would like to with your horse?

Endurance riding is one of the most demanding disciplines that your horse can partake in.

The horse must be exercised on various surfaces to increase his fitness, stamina and suppleness. When only one surface is emphasised, the horse is more likely to strain their muscles.

In the advanced rides, the terrain the horse is expected to cover include roads, stones, hard rocks, soft sand, bog, water and even swimming - they may also be expected to slide down hills…all of which take a toll on the horses body.

Chiropractically, both horse and rider will benefit from regular treatment to allow them to compete in long distance rides. These treatments ensure peak performance in such varied conditions and help prevent any niggles from turning into full blown injury.

What we cover in an initial session:

During our initial equestrian chiropractic treatment, we…

• Assess complete range of motion in all joints

• Pinpoint which joints are at the root of the horses problem.

• Chiropractic adjustments …invaluable in restoring physiological and psychological health.

Benefits of chiropractic interventions for endurance horses:

Using animal chiropractic, one of the safest forms of treatment available, we help your horse achieve optimal health through:

• Restoring natural movement and function

• Reducing pain, muscle spasm

• Enabling the animal to perform at their optimum potential

…and all of this is done using a drug free and non invasive approach- giving you quicker results and faster recuperation time.

The rider will also have a direct affect on the horse over long distances if they have a tendency to ride with unequal stirrup leathers, or are compensating for their own back pain in the riding position. Click here for more information on our horse and rider package.
