We love when new toys arrive! Excited for our new cold laser from ! 🚨 Cold laser provides energy in the form of light to cells in the body, which stimulates many biological processes. These cells release signal molecules that induce vasodilation, oxygenating the body and reducing inflammation.

I love using these! So beneficial
Oh look, another gimmick training aid, right? Wrong.
Horses can benefit from resistance bands just like how humans benefit from using them. But how? Let's take a look:
Strength training: Resistance bands provide resistance and tension to a horse's muscles, which can help to build strength and endurance. Horses can develop stronger muscles that can better support their bodyweight and perform athletic movements more effectively.
Rehabilitation: Resistance bands can be used to help increase range of motion, promote proper movement patterns, and strengthen weakened or injured muscles to horses who are recovering from an injury or surgery.
Balance and coordination: Resistance bands can be used to challenge a horse's balance and coordination by forcing them to maintain proper alignment and stability while performing exercises. This can improve their overall athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Tomorrow we are going to discuss many of the commonly asked questions and de-bunk myths behind the resistance band. In the mean time, make sure to save this post to refer back to.

Testing out the new toy Santa brought! 🎅🏻 Coming soon as an add on service…
🎁 The Niagara Equissage Pulse delivers powerful cycloidal (three-way) vibrations to the whole body and is scientifically proven to improve local blood flow, lymphatic drainage, relaxation, and joint mobility.
🎁 Cyclical vibration therapy (CVT) simulates mechano-receptors in the muscles which has been shown to decrease muscle soreness, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery after exercise or injury.

To develop the horse symmetrically in body and limbs you can use gymnastic exercises.
*** CORNERSTONES ***
The core of the gymnastic exercises consists of the circle, shoulder-in and haunches-in. All the other exercises are derived from these cornerstones.
🐴 The circle is used to develop the Lateral bending of the body and spine, the Forward down tendency of the head and neck and the Stepping under the center of mass of the inside hind leg (LFS).
🐴 Once the inside hind leg can step under, this hind leg can also start to take weight. To do so we use the shoulder-in and counter-shoulder-in. These exercises are designed to school the hind leg in function of the inside hind leg. As a result of taking the weight, the horse will bend the inside hind leg more and free the outside shoulder.
🐴 Once the horse can bend the hind leg as an inside hind leg, we can also start to school the hind leg as an outside hind leg. To do so we use first the haunches-in (travers) and later on the renvers. In the renvers the horse can lean less against the wall/fence with his shoulder, so it's a bit more difficult than the travers, but as a result he really supports himself with his hind legs.
*** ALL EXERCISES ARE RELATED ***
All exercises relate to one another and differ slightly:
🐎 The only difference between shoulder-in and counter-shoulder in is the position of the fence/wall. The same applies to the haunches-in (travers) and the renvers, also there the only difference is the position of the wall.
🐎 The difference between shoulder-in and renvers is the bending in the spine, which is the opposite. In these exercises the same hind leg has the opposite function ('inside' in shoulder-in, 'outside' in renvers). The same applies to counter shoulder-in and the haunches in.
🐎 The half pass is 'just' a haunches-in over the diagonal, and the pirouette is 'just' a haunches-in on a small circle. Both half-pass and pirouette require support of both the inside as the outside hind leg. Therefore in both exercises the shoulders must lead to be able to keep the center of mass in front of the direction of the hind legs, only then both hind legs can support the weight. So both the half pass and pirouette also relate to the shoulder-in.
*** NUMBER OF TRACKS AND DEGREE OF BENDING ***
Now all exercises can be done on 3 or 4 tracks, or 2,5 tracks or 3,75 or 3,99 ;) and your horse can have more or less bend in his spine. Now there is no 'perfect' number and the exact degree doesn't matter. What matters in ST is that you choose the number of tracks and degree of bending where your horse can support his body and center of mass best with both hind legs. And that depends on the conformation of your horse: if he has a long back or a shorter one, if he has long legs, or shorter ones, if he has a long neck or a short one. So choose the degree of bending and number of tracks where your horse can move in optimal balance and with most quality.
*** HOW TO DEVELOP THESE EXERCISES? ***
First start the circle, then after a few training sessions add the shoulder-in, and the moment the the horse can do this exercise for 66,6% of quality, add the haunches-in. From there you can start practising the variations.
**** HOW TO DEVELOP THE HORSE EQUALLY? ***
To develop a horse equally in body and limbs all exercises need to be done to the right and to the left (or as they say in English: on the right rein and on the left rein).
When doing these exercises there will always be an 'easy' side and a difficult side. To develop the horse equally, do the 'difficult' side a bit more often and it's also an idea to start with the 'difficult' side and to end with the 'difficult side'.
The moment the horse starts to feel more equal, switch to train the exercises 50-50.

About
Devon Poeta founded Equilibria Wellness and Performance, LLC in 2020. She received her Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Stonehill College and a Master’s degree in Biotechnology from Brown University. Currently, she is a scientist at Brown, where she has worked for over 10 years studying memory and the brain. She is also an avid equestrian, and has always wanted a career where she could somehow combine science and horses.
Devon has ridden horses for over 25 years, competing primarily in the equitation. She has won many competitions in New England including the CHJA junior and adult medal finals as well as the MHC, RIHA, and NEHC adult medal finals.
Throughout her riding experience, she saw all sorts of injuries that always seemed to happen at the most inopportune times! She developed an interest in regenerative medicine in high school when her horse was given stem cell injections to treat a suspensory tear. Although the treatment was new at the time, the results were amazing! Ever since, she has been trying to find a way to combine her interest in science with her love of horses. When she stumbled across PEMF, she knew she'd finally found what she was meant to do and started planning this business!
As a rider and fitness enthusiast, she has had her fair share of injuries over the years, including chronic back and hip problems. She has tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic work, and after much research decided to try PEMF and laser therapy as alternatives to a lifetime of pain medications and injections. So far, so good!
