Megan -7 year old Welsh Section A

Mega is a 7 year old Welsh Section A mare, used for riding club activities. Megan is a regular on the treadmill and comes in every couple of weeks for fitness and to aid in building hind end engagement.

Megan has also completed a two weeks residential stay while her owners were on holiday. This included 8 treadmill sessions over 2 weeks- 4 sessions each week on consecutive days. Duration, water depth and incline were increased gradually during each session allowing Megan to adjust.

We also monitored her muscle development along her back using a flexicurve, this showed that had become more symmetrical in her muscle development through her right side which was previously slightly weaker. She has become more engaged in her core showing less of a dipped posture and openness through the shoulder therefore increasing the stride movement in front.
On a daily basis she has done baited exercises before each session to help activate her muscles, these consisted of the below methods,
 Either side of his abdomen
 Between front legs
 Tummy lift
