Travel is harder on horses than we think
Even short hauls challenge balance, core stability and soft tissue. Horses constantly shift weight to stay upright in a moving trailer. This can create tight shoulders, braced toplines and pelvic strain.
How bodywork supports travel
- Releases tension before the horse loads
- Helps the horse step into the trailer more freely
- Reduces stiffness from balancing in motion
- Creates relaxation for anxious travelers
A comfortable horse loads better and arrives softer in their body.
How KT tape helps
KT tape gives the horse gentle support during and after the haul.
It can:
- Support the topline
- Reduce swelling or stiffness
- Help maintain better posture
- Encourage soft tissue relaxation
- Extend the benefits of pre-travel bodywork
After the trip
A quick bodywork session after arrival helps reset the body, release travel tension and prepare the horse for work or competition.
