Rebel

Rebel – Exercise Prescription 21/08/23 Rebel overall looked to be sound in his movement but was uncomfortable to begin when ridden, showing a toe first foot landing on his front feet and a short and stilted movement in walk and trot and breaking in the canter on the left rein. During physiotherapy, tension was found in the jaw and cheeks on both sides of Rebels face and extended down his neck into his shoulders. There was scarring on the right triceps muscle and some mild spasms in Rebels back. His bridle and bit looked to be a good fit and no problems tacking up were seen. Following treatment, Rebel was ridden again and was more willing, went into corners and reached forward to go over poles with ease. Keep in walk/trot to increase confidence. – Aim to revisit in 1 month and add canter work. Leg lift and out  Pick up the right forelimb (rebels right) and extend the leg out to the side, support the knee with your right hand and his fetlock with your left, this will open up space between his leg and chest. Then extend the leg out. horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 Becky Black BSc (Hons) AdvCertVPhys ClinEd(AccMdx) RCH MIRVAP(VP) horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162
