Episode 56: Bolting & the posture connection
Bolting can be one of the most alarming vices. Today we talk about connection between functional posture, biomechanics, and the nervous system that underlies bolting.
We explore:
- What’s the difference between bolting and rushing?
- How loss of postural integrity and proprioception fuels panic and reactivity
- The biomechanics of the flight response and how it manifests in the body
- Why rebuilding safety and stability through functional posture changes how a horse experiences the world
- Underlying causes of bolting, including nerve pain and Equine Vertebral Malformations.
