Carrying fatigue in horses ???????? In today's video, in collaboration with horse physiotherapist Silke Kaupp, we are devoting ourselves to the much-discussed topic of carrying fatigue or carrying exhaustion. Why does carrying fatigue occur? ???? The cause is the missing collarbone! This allows horses to jump without breaking anything and the front limbs can be seen as a shock absorber. The ribcage literally hangs in the torso's supporting apparatus made up of muscles, tendons and ligaments. If tension or incorrect loading occurs, the carrying and shock absorber functions are impaired. How do you recognize carrying fatigue? ???? If the horse suffers from a weak carrying system, it tries to support the chest in other ways and prevent it from sagging: ???? it stands closely backwards ???? the back muscles cramp and block the hindquarters ???? the lower neck is pushed downwards ???? the horse is not in balance Supporting horses that are exhausted from carrying ???????? It is important to train body awareness, which can be achieved via ????????♀️ balance pads ????????♀️ leading over small hills and back down again ????????♀️ pole work The goals are ???? getting the horse out of the hollow back ???? arching the back ???? raising the breastbone ???? opening the shoulder and making it flexible ???? the Allow the withers to fall freely forward and downward. Carrying exhaustion: Which nutrients are particularly important? ???? Magnesium is helpful in loosening up tense muscles. Vitamin E and selenium stimulate muscle metabolism and also help to restore normal muscle function. Amino acids promote the development of strong muscles. You should also think about the joints, because they take a lot of strain due to the reduced shock absorber function. That's why feeding glucosamine, for example, makes sense. That's why our product recommendation, especially at the beginning of anti-carrying exhaustion training, is the MASTERHORSE TRI-PROTECT. Here are a few valuable links: ????
