  • Lateral Flexion of the Neck

    Jim shows how to do small movements in the neck. It's the relaxation, not the range of motion, that releases the tension, so you don't need a large range of motion. It's important not to rush because you can miss what the horse is telling you.

  • Scapular Releases

    Moving on, Jim explains and demonstrates moving areas in the scapula to release tension in the shoulders, neck and withers. Mostly he wants everything to be relaxed. When the horse tenses, it means hes feeling uncomfortable. At that point you need to wait for the horse to relax.
