Hydration supports every body system, especially the muscles and fascia.🔥 Heat TherapyWarm towels and hot water bottles can be excellent for easing tension. Speak with your practitioner about safe and suitable applications for your animal.👀 Spot the Signs of DiscomfortLook out for increased stiffness, reluctance to move, or more slipping and tripping—these may indicate musculoskeletal discomfort or compensation.🏃‍♀️ Movement: Frequency Over IntensityShort, regular bouts of movement are far kinder to the body than infrequent, intense sessions—this applies to horses, dogs, and humans alike.#mctimoneyanimalchiropractic #mctimoneyanimalassociation #mctimoneyanimalpractitioner #mctimoneypractitioner #WinterWellness #animalwintercare #winteranimalwellness ...

❄️ Winter Wellness Top Tips for Horses ❄️Lauren Allen (LJA McTimoney Animal Chiropractic) shares some simple tips.Did you know that cold weather causes muscles and fascia to tighten? One of the best ways to support your horse through winter is with groundwork.✨ Warm-Up & Cool-DownLonger warm-ups and cool-downs are essential in the colder months. If you’re bored of endless laps around the arena, mix things up with ground exercises such as backing up (hills included!), belly lifts, pole work, and side-stepping. These movements activate key muscle groups and condition the stabiliser muscles that work overtime on slippery winter ground.🌬️ Posture in Winter WeatherHorses often brace against cold wind and rain during turnout, which can gradually affect posture. Turnout is vital for keeping joints mobile, but make sure your horse has adequate shelter for longer periods outside.🥕 Variable Feeding PositionsHorses often spend more time stabled during winter, and much of that time is spent pulling from the dreaded haynet in one fixed position. Offering forage in varied positions is a simple way to keep your horse moving and reduce repetitive strain injuries. Multiple haynets, suspended nets, hay balls, floor-level forage, and mangers all encourage natural movement patterns and healthier posture while stabled.🧣 Keep Muscles WarmUsing an exercise sheet during ridden work helps keep the hindquarters and topline warm and supple, reducing the risk of muscular strain.Check Saddle FitWeight changes over winter can significantly alter saddle fit. A saddle that fitted perfectly in summer may no longer be optimal—regular checks with your saddle fitter will help keep your horse comfortable and moving well.💆‍♀️ Chiropractic SupportRegular chiropractic care helps to prevent the compensatory patterns that arise during winter, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness. It also plays an important role in identifying the early signs of injury—particularly those caused by seasonal challenges such as slips in muddy fields or the occasional “fresh” moment from chilled air and energetic horses.#mctimoneyanimalchiropractic #mctimoneyanimalassociation #winterhorsecare ...
