Why Wednesday ~ My horse is fine with the Hind Leg Release down and forward, but not down and back — he keeps lifting the leg. Why does that happen?

Answer: If a horse resists bringing the hind leg down and back, it often means there’s some tension or restriction in the hind end. This position is actually a powerful way to help release tightness related to soreness or imbalance in the lower back and pelvis.

Tips to help your horse find that release:

🔸Make sure he’s standing square before you start.
🔸Ask for the leg as if to clean the hoof, then gently guide it down until the toe touches the ground.
🔸Don’t pull — stay soft, and if he lifts, go with him and wait for relaxation.
🔸Avoid bringing the leg too far back, especially if he’s sore in the stifles.

Watch Jim demonstrate how to apply this technique safely and effectively.
