too brutal .. over stretching ...you got to learn to feel more into the finer levels of the horses natural limits !! ... seems u lost contact with that and just come from a mind space like an idea that you wanna push through on all costs even if you hurt the animal !!! sorry to say that but its a typical male problem and takes most of us a good time to learn to feel the softer things in life ...
Wow, this horse is wonderful!!! I have no idea how she tolerates this, and I take it the owners actually pay this guy to do that? Im no profecional in a horses "natural movments" ability however Ive been around them long enough to know that this could not be doing anything to good for the horse!
Really??? I'll make a note to keep you far FAR away from my animals. Someone who tries to do this with thier horse, may get hurt...and who knows what you inflicted on that horse.

As an equine osteopath this is very difficult to watch - a prime example of how patient & forgiving horses are. I would be interested to know the exact qualifications of this person. I find it difficult to see how anybody with a knowledge of equine anatomy & biomechanics could justify this type of "treatment" (and I use the word treatment in the loosest possible sense of the word).
Seeing this is very worrying. What is your training? In a way it is very beneficial as I would be using this in college to show my students what NOT to do.
Maybe you can put some videos up of the 'improvement' you are talking about? If you put something out in the public eye, just expect some criticism and that there are more knowledgeable people out there who will 'correct' you.
(just for the record, I am an equine osteopath and equine anatomy lecturer)
I would just like to know if you understand equine anatomy and the range of movement that is possible in the joints without passing the physiological/anatomical/pathological barrier?
Just because the horse is not objecting does not mean that he/she is enjoying it, more likely it just proves how tolerant horses are by putting up with people.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS HELPING THIS HORSE?! WHAT IS YOUR TRAINING ? YOUR CLIENT DOES NOT LOOK TO BE ENJOYING HIMSELF!!! TO THINK THIS ANY WAY BENEFICiAL IS CRAZY!!!!

John, that was truly fantastic! The horse clearly enjoyed it (almost tried to follow you out of the stall). Seems this technique would be excellent training/socialization for younger horses. Thanks for sharing! (You are stronger than you look, too! :-)
Folks if the horse hated what was happening, John wouldn't be able to do it. The horse was allowing it to be done. It probably felt good, like a good stretch does for us. Glad to hear you were able to help your horse feel more comfortable.
that horse is looking at you like 'dude, whatcha doin?' lol it may look like torture to a non-horse person but the horse didn't seem to mind at all. i'm glad it helped her, she's lovely. no doubt it would help a lot of horses...and people!
This horse has a back pain issue relating to the hip flexor and radiating pain. She would run away after jumping and hitch through her movements. She was able to let me manipulate her weight to break loose an adhesion and reset her right hip. The result was she could move at the trot and canter without hitching and jump without the spastic pain.
Fair play if it works, would be great if you could comment on your technique while you are applying it ( stretching leg adductors, massaging on descending pectorals, etc) just to make clearer what you are doing and to let the whole lot be a bit more user friendly and informative. It would be nice to see an assesment of the mare before and after treatment to proof your results.
P.S. When you state reset her hip, what exactly do you mean with that ?
since the horse has been lame for five years and "hitchy" behind, and now it's not, I think your comment is based on not knowing much about how a horse's mechanics work and how to manipulate out an adhesion

This horse is so tolerant. Was he that way when you first started these treatments or does it take a lot of effort for him to accept it?
