Hi, Ilona here from Positive Equine Plus!
As an Equine Therapist and Bodyworker, I use different techniques to rapidly free up tight muscles and restore natural movement. It brings back suppleness, balance, and flexibility, resulting in a calmer, more comfortable horse.
I often get asked how to spot when a horse is carrying physical restrictions. Is your horse showing any of these signs?
- Stiffness under saddle
- Stabby front action
- Head up / bracing
- Blocking or refusing the bitLeaning in or out
- Reluctance to go forward
- Not performing like they used to
These are classic signs of tight or restricted muscles. When tension builds up, horses naturally start compensating. That’s when performance drops, behaviour changes, and small everyday issues turn into long-term problems.
This is where specialised bodywork makes the difference
🏇 For Racehorses & Performance Horses
- Before racing/events: Helps them move completely freely to perform at their absolute peak.
- After a gallop or race: Accelerates recovery and significantly reduces deep muscle fatigue.
- After injury: Helps the nervous system release protective tension to safely return to normal movement.

Check out my new 2‑minute video featuring the recent Eagle Farm & Murwillumbah Cup winner, Golden Cross, showing exactly how quickly a horse's body responds when tension is released!
