We will introduce you to a group of stretches guaranteed to improve your riding and your horse's range of motion and flexibility. 

 These were designed by Angeles Russell and myself, Jacqueline Becker. Angeles is a fitness trainer for people, living on the Big Island of Hawaii She designed special stretches for her clients. After experiencing the incredible feeling of being stretched by her I asked if she would help me put together horse stretches. We soon realized that people were going to injure themselves if they had bad posture when doing these stretches, so born was the theory that we had to  design them for the horse and rider.
 With her knowledge of the human body and my experience with the equine, I think we have worked out a great stretch program that only takes a few minutes a day and both  of you get to stretch. 
The horse has the most incredible physical shape. It has a very inflexible backbone.  Most riders have sore backs and necks and we don't have to carry someone and go in a frame.   Sore muscles are a report on the skeletal system of the body. 
       The  other exciting part of doing therapy on horses for so many years is the learning curve I had to go through to put the whole picture together for each individual. Teeth, shoeing, injuries and conformation not to mention their riding history. It is a whole new world and  all it's pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. We cannot do without the help of veterinarians. massage therapists, chiropractors, dentists, farriers or  trainers. My theory is  we all have our areas of expertise and we should  recognize  one cannot do without the other.

 I am happy to let everyone know that we will have time to put together a school for those that are interested in being educated in maintaining their own horses with stretch and massage therapy, a knowledge of nutrition, feet, teeth, conformation, bio-mechanics, saddle fitting and more.
 It will take four years to become a qualified Physical Therapist. Certificates will be offered for Equine massage therapy and Stretch therapy.
