If your horse has trouble bending, turning, seems stiff and or resistant to move forward and relax through his jaw, neck or top line, then this is the video to watch completely and use the techniques every day. Horses naturally stand with 60 percent of their weight on their front legs. So they would naturally be more heavy when riding. So when we ask them to be lighter and use more power off their hind end to carry us it is our responsibility to help keep them as supple and comfortable in their necks shoulders and withers. Of course good hoof car, balance and protection are primary.
Dr. Pat describes and demonstrates why, when and how to address your horse's rotator cuff muscles and tennis elbow to improve your horse's posture, performance and overall well-being. Posture Prepping with cross fiber system and techniques as you groom daily is a pre-ride massage and evaluation as you further bond with your horse.
As a human and equine chiropractor of nearly 30 years Dr Pat has related a few chronic human conditions also seen commonly in horses, rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.

Dr Pat discussed the presentation of these issues and the specific Posture Prep Cross Fiber Grooming technique to help resolve the common performance, postural and training problems associated with these issues
Preparation is the foundation of success. A thorough Posture Prepping Grooming Session can take 15-45 depending on the goals and pleasure of you and your horse. see www.DrPatBona.com for Posture Prep products and more information. She has a dog and human tools and techniques too.
The Cross Fiber technique was developed back in 1997 by Dr. Pat for her own horses who were iced in the barn for nearly 2 months. As she shared the Cross fiber technique with her clients she realized she should share it with the masses. After 2 years of great feedback on the prototype of her new ergonomically designed curry she was able to get it in production and it was released in 2010. Horses and humans love the Posture Prep curry tool and techniques form back yard horses to professional grooms like Emma Ford and Cat Hill of World Class Grooming for Horses.
Dr. Pat has specific techniques to address different posture problems as well as issues such as rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow in horses.
She lectures nationally as well as doing smaller clinics and consulting on posture versus conformation due to asymmetry poor posture often caused by myofascial restrictions and pain from old injuries and traumas. The Posture Prepping System is simple to learn and apply and is empowering to the horse human bond and partnership.
