  2. I hope my daughter will use this technique on her dressage horse.  He needs more extension.

    Thanks

  3. Hi Lisa…I would like to see this stretch from the side and how much "stretch/pull" are you applying?..thanks..anxious to use this for increasing range of modtion and addressing a club foot.

    • HI Debbie, I don’t have a video from the side view on this stretch currently, but will keep that in mind and add it when I can.  I don’t put a lot of pressure at all when I do this stretch.  I’m just “suggesting” to the horse to bring that leg forward.  The most important step of this stretch is to hold the toe steady so that the horse can then “push” against your hand and stretch through that heel.  NEVER ask for more than the horse is ready to give.  If you meet a lot of resistance than you may be asking for too much.  They will get better at it the more often you do it.

      Blessings,

      Lisa
