We know foot balance is crucial for maintaining a sound horse, we spend a lot of money with our farriers to keep the foot balanced so it lands flat, not outside or inside edge first. When we do flatwork we are constantly asking the horse to circle, turn, loop, do lateral work etc at different speeds, this places forces on the lower legs that are repetitively unnatural and papers have suggested this could lead to injuries.
Not only is it important to build your horse’s strength for all dressage movements so you do not overload joints and cause strains but a good Ice and compression session after could help with recovery of any minor tweaks.
