Does your horse’s rug slip to one side? If yes it could be time to get your back person out.
This little tip comes to you from my farrier. Something very simple which makes an awful lot of sense if you think about it.
Does your horse often come in with their rug notably slipped to one side? If yes it is very possible that they have a back or pelvis issue which means they are favouring on side more than the other and so causing the rug to slip in one direction more than the other.
It shouldn’t be taken as gospel that a slipping rug equals a problem and on the same lines a horse with a problem may not have a slipping rug but more often than not it will be indicative that there is a muscular imbalance and would be sensible to get your osteo/physio/bowen/chiro (delete as appropriate!) person to take a look.
