Episode 49: Functional Posture and Headshaking (Part 1 of 2)

Headshaking in horses can be one of the most frustrating and idiopathic challenges for owners and riders. But what if we stop viewing it as a standalone issue in your horse's body and instead integrated it into the whole body? In this episode, Raquel and Sophie unpack headshaking and begin to discuss how posture and headshaking are interconnected.

You’ll learn:

• Why headshaking should be seen as a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis
• The most common signs, from vertical flicking to nose rubbing and snorting
• Contributing factors ranging from dental and sinus issues to tack fit and trauma
• How posture and fascia connect the head, neck, and body in this complex issue
