Through the process of postural rehabilitation with my own horse, in addition to years as a veterinary physiotherapist, I became hyperaware of how many horses do not have the postural strength for their ridden demands (or any exercise demands for that matter!).
From this, I devised a series of progressive and integrative exercises that work to relax negative postural structures, stimulate positive postural strengtheners and promote suppleness and symmetry through the body for optimum performance... The FER Approach!
This diagram shows some areas of compensation which are present in horses that are posturally compromised. The FER Approach targets these key release points through mobilisation and release techniques, integrated with targeted groundwork and polework exercises to reinforce the Positive Postural Release (PPR).
