Welcome to Episode 37: Reprogramming Movement Patterns
Join Dr Raquel and Sophie as we dive into the art of reshaping how horses move — and why slow and controlled movement it’s one of the most impactful, yet underappreciated, tools for longevity and soundness.
In this episode of the Equine Functional Posture Podcast, we explore how consciously reprogramming movement patterns can transform your horse’s balance, posture, and long-term wellbeing.
You’ll learn how movement habits form, how new neural pathways are created, and why slow, mindful work after bodywork or when introducing new movements can yield dramatic changes with minimal time investment.
This is about moving with the horse — through awareness, patience, and respect.
Key Points Discussed:
-
Why reprogramming movement patterns matters
-
The importance of overnight rest in solidifying neural pathways
-
How to support horses post-bodywork for lasting change
-
The power of slow, intentional movement
Change doesn’t always mean doing more — sometimes it means doing less, with greater intention. Tune in to learn how small, focused efforts can create effortless, balanced movement.
