Proprioception body awareness course 4-6 sessions*

For horses who

• Are a little crooked or clumsy

• Lack hind end, front end, or spatial awareness

• Are recovering from a Neurological issue

This package is a passion project that I, along with a Neurological Rehab Physical Therapist, designed to help my horse Ben recover from nerve damage left behind by EPM. I have continued to develop this into the full Mastering Movement Course to help others. It uses proven equine exercises in combination with current movement & motivation science to pave a way for a joyful rehab process. This package can be used separately or in conjunction with the mastering movement course as a way to more specifically target the most important exercises for your horses success.

More info on Proprioception course:

Many horses with long lasting crookedness, lack of body awareness, or those recovering from a neurological issue do not have a strength problem. Think of it more as a wiring problem. Their brain doesn't have the right connections or a clear enough connection to organize their muscles in the way they should. This is why more: strengthening, circles, leg, rein, whip etc. doesn't fix the issue. Science tells us that for issues like this, authentic (or chosen) movement can create new neural pathways (fix the bad wiring issue). Forced movement may strengthen a muscle but it doesn't help the horse better coordinate that muscle with a lost or bad connection. So how do we get a possibly lazy, nervous, ataxic, or unmotivated horse to move in an authentic way to create new movement patterns? That is what this course is for. I will help you unlock your horses motivation and give you tools and exercises disguised as play. I will teach you how to create movement puzzles combined with positive reinforcement to improve your horses joy of movement. This course can be adapted for horses on stall rest & restricted movement.
