HOW TO STRETCH YOUR HORSE

[@izzyprendergast9986]

This was really interesting Lauren! And Gabana certainly looked like she was enjoying it!

[@LaurenAllport]

Thank you :) She is a good girl haha

[@ljequestrian6791]

Loved this video, would love some more like this and maybe some more educational videos around this subject as well 😁

[@laurenalexander1634]

I love this, I have been doing these stretches after exercise with my horse and have noticed a big change in her. Please make more kinds of these videos as I love to learn and increase my knowledge to make my horse comfortable. Could you also make like a weekly training routine (what you do each week before and after) and also would like to see a day in the life of Lauren 😊

[@LaurenAllport]

OK I will try to make those videos :D thank you so much

[@maryellenbarak3946]

Wonderfully informative video. I will definitely try these on my horses. My first thought when you started with rubbing the face is how many times do horses rub on their people or the whatever is convenient when you take the bridle off, now I know why!

[@missviolence101]

I've been doing the front leg stretches, carrot stretches, and the hind end tuck for quite awhile as shown to me by a couple local professionals, and I think it really has helped. Your video is extremely informative, and I'll definitely be referring to it again! I'd love to see more if you ever feel like it! Love how attentive you are to your horses.

[@acacia.holden1905]

You're so good at teaching! Please keep making videos, they're really helpful! Gabana is a gorgeous horse! :)

[@SelenRaven]

"What are she doing?" "Oh she's just dancing with horse's leg" xD

[@LaurenAllport]

standard grooving haha thank you!

[@bushwren]

This is one of the best stretching videos I've seen, thank you for sharing. It's always great to learn more about the little changes in routine we can make to benefit our horses.

[@1942rita]

Such a good practice. I only cleaned my horses after a ride with a natural sponge.on their faces, never did any of these great things-maybe generational difference-but an improvement in horse care. My poor Eventers only got good warm up stretches before we went cross country; didn’t know sh/do only after exercise.. glad I never injuries a horse. I’m thinking ‘if I had known...” I also only did leg checks when taping and washing. You are so much better than I ever was.

[@ct7321]

She looks sooo relaxed!

[@shirleysparks312]

Love it, shows everything nice and easy for horse and rider to be comfortable.

[@nicoleross4160]

Super helpful Lauren. I've been doing parts of these, but I learned quite a bit more.

[@theresak42]

I loveeee doing stretches with my mare, more educational videos like this from you would be VERY appreciated!!

[@barbaramiklos1393]

This was sooo helpful thank you Lauren! Please do more of these types of videos, I eould love to learn more about the different streches! ☺️ Gabanna is so gorgeous ❤️

[@LaurenAllport]

Thank you so much :)

[@kayleecampagna5344]

I would love more stretching videos! I think they are supper beneficial!

[@shellykennedy5427]

Amazing therapy and excellent instruction.

[@KmRessler]

Aaah, I can't wait to go try some of these on my horse! We did do some front stretches before, but this gives me more to do with him. He'll be 20 next week, and is currently lame, so our only time together is grooming. but he should be able to handle a few of these stretches as he recovers. Thank you for posting this!

[@katelambe8524]

Thank you so much for sharing your stretching routine! I was wondering if you could provide any information relating to caring for a horse's back (stretches, massaging, ice/heat, etc.). Of course finding the right equipment, vet involvement, and perhaps chiropractic work is essential, but I was wondering if there's anything I could do on a daily basis to help my horse's back feel the best it could be. This was really helpful to watch and I'm looking forward to incorporating this into my routine! Thank you so much, Lauren!

[@equestrian7640]

Gabbana looks so big haha! ly Lauren x

[@LE123LE123]

Every single thing you said here, I've said to my students. :D The hind legs are so difficult to explain to riders----we've had so many kids panic when horses pulled their back legs from being picked, and I explained that they are holding the hoof up WAY too high---that it's hard for a horse to hold that position. I then showed them how to hold the hind hoof and support it low and pick out quick, but you know how people are---either too fast or far too slow. I only teach more advanced riders basic stretches because I worry that they may over do it. Lauren, may I link this video to my social media? It's sometimes good to hear the same thing said from someone different and with visuals...and a cool Irish accent! :D

[@kathrynschaller8875]

I love doing the hind end tucks.The best is when you hear a horse crack his/her spine while tucking their pelvis and doing the sit-up.

[@Reegzcaine]

Thanks so much for sharing such a well explained and relevant exercise for the competitive rider

[@agatasz5602]

Please make another stretching video 😃 they are really interesting and helpful. My horse has a very tense neck on the left side after being used in several beginner lessons, it's getting better with training but I would like to help him more with releasing this tension🐴 btw Gabbana looks great😍

[@Marianne_L]

Great video Lauren! I'd definitely be interested in another one with more stretches you use. My boy has Equine Touch sessions semi-regularly and we've done some of these stretches before (or variations of them). It's so nice when you see them relax into the stretch and start to become more comfortable with them.

[@Rainpath789]

This is amazing!! I definitely would like more of these types of video :) maybe some that are specific to discipline, or maybe stretches that could be done for horses that are tight through the back (my mare, when in season). I would also love any content you could produce about polework and why you do the exercises you do as they're so important for strength

[@joannacopson8224]

Thank you, Lauren, very helpful video.

[@corliabotha7213]

At 7:20 the girl at the back left just looks at you like you are crazy... love all you vids, keep up the good work

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Very interesting! My quarter horse (he has a bodyworker as well, but didn't show us nearly as much detail about the stretches!) is building topline and has quite a prominent scapula due to a ton of muscle tightness. Excited to try some of these with him.

[@aurorads8847]

loved this! Its super informative and really helpful :D

[@LaurenAllport]

thank you :D

[@lizlavoie5672]

This was so helpful! I would love to see some more stretches. Awesome video.💕

[@melanieselin4187]

Really good video! I think it's so important to stretch yourself and your horse. I stretch my horse if we've been jumping (usually once a week or every two weeks) and if we have had a lesson that's when I do it. I can't do one minute but we usually get around 28 seconds! Which I think is really good, she was really stiff before I worked with her.

[@eames4110]

I love your stretching videos! I'm so going to try these with my horses :)

[@egs_schroeder3916]

My old gelding would get quite sore and ouchie after jumping long courses especially in the summer, these leg stretches really helped him loosen up

[@bitchesinbreeches]

she's SO relaxed. look at that happy floppy lower lip :)

[@NataliaKedzierska]

Great video! Very informative, thanks!

[@catherine776]

More Stretching videos please!

[@ozbird03]

This was really interesting Lauren thank you 😊

[@svenjarumpf2425]

absolutely loved this!!!

[@dani-eh3tf]

my mare has always been hot and spooky, so ive started introducing the straight front leg (aside from neck stretches) stretches about a month or 2 ago! i can only get a few seconds in but shes getting better and better each time, excited to do more

[@milliesos]

Fantastic really enjoyed this. And yes please do another x

[@warrenbonnell]

very informative and made it easy to understand technique

[@LaurenAllport]

thank you :D

[@coraliesentch4515]

[@warrenbonnell]

so well done

[@MySpottedAppaloosa25]

Loved this! Very very interesting!

[@lynnes11]

This is a great video! I'm wondering, what is the purpose of doing the little circles while stretching? Did she explain and I missed it? :-)

[@beckieblackwell3689]

Thank you for this video! I'm going to try this with my mare, she loves any activity that makes her feel like she's getting more pamper time lol x

[@luizafonseca_]

Thank you :D

[@sarahj5675]

Waw thats nice!! Please more! 😊

[@vixiepixie1000]

Hey thanks for this. My horse has been over using shoulders instead of engaging hind end due to pelvis being out ( now treated) thermal imaging showed heat in shoulders. Anything i can do to reduce the shoulder tension? Thanks xxxx

[@Vicksen80]

Great video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘 more plz

[@rebeccadarnton1216]

I do equine sports massage . So helpful !!

[@angelreedxo]

I loooove this!

[@LaurenAllport]

Thank you :D

[@danw6014]

Do you do any stretching before you ride?

[@Lorea464]

I'll try this with my horse, thank you!

[@sarahmilne024]

I always thought gabbana was big, but wow - 18hh😂😍

[@littlefatwhiteponyowner4686]

Tried this a little bit ago but my horse pulls her legs out of my hands. What would you recommend doing?

[@itsemilee1502]

My mare used to. I just try over and over and she eventually got sick of arguing with me

[@littlefatwhiteponyowner4686]

@@itsemilee1502 I've been trying for a while and she's a lot better now. She just a stereotypical mare 😂

[@brionyrose6849]

What course did you study to become an equine chiropractor and do needling? This is exactly what I'd like to do but I'm struggling to find a course here in Australia.

[@foureyeddragon00]

My chrio has me doing tail pulls to help with stifle strength, but now I am curious if I should be doing those after riding instead of before like you advise with these stretches?

[@LaurenAllport]

those are more of a strength than stretch exercise, so before or after is ok :)

[@simtexx791]

“If anyone sees you, you may look a little strange” Yeah it looks like you’re rubbing your middle area on your horses leg. Can you please go more into detail about stretching out a horse please? Why do you only stretch legs after not before? I ride cross country in Australia and this will help my horse out thank you. Also... is there any other back stretching I can do before saddling up?

[@BitchTf-o5u]

If you don’t have a human for your dance, just bring your horse

[@thechunkymare782]

Love this!

[@larnaandstar7355]

2:20 this looks so wrong 😂😧
