When you said ears parallel, you meant perpendicular to the ground, right? Like the ears straight up and down making a 90 degree angle with the ground? Or do you mean she should be be able to bend her head more so that her ears are actually parallel to the ground? Thanks for clarification!

[@carlyoleary1837]

Ears should be level so that if you laid a stick across the tips, the stick would be parallel to the ground.

What kind of horse is Polly? She is very pretty😊!!

[@LBEMG]

Thank you, she belongs to one of our team members. She is a Rocky Mountain Horse.

[@johuitema1757]

Do u do these stretches before or after a ride ?

[@LBEMG]

They are beneficial in both instances but before your ride would be helpful in making your horse more supple.

[@peteykate]

So would you recommend doing these stretches cold? I was always taught to never stretch cold muscles?

[@LBEMG]

@@peteykate Always best performed after a warm up-but that being said a horse in pasture that’s walking around may need a little less warm up than a horse that’s been standing around in the stall!
