You’re doing your usual morning check-in… all legs and hooves attached

But something feels off.

Did you know an ill-fitting blanket can cause soreness along the spine and trapezius—the muscle that runs from the neck down across the shoulders?

Now imagine wearing a jacket that doesn’t quite fit—and you can’t take it off. Then someone asks you to jump hurdles, climb a mountain, or carry weight.

That’s your horse when their blanket rubs, pulls, or restricts movement.

Take a minute to check:

Is the blanket too tight or too loose?

Is it pulling or shifting awkwardly?

Is there any rubbing or hair loss at the shoulders or spine?

A quick adjustment now can prevent pain, soreness, and performance issues later.

Want help releasing that tension? I’ll be back in Maryland soon—massage spots are limited!

Wishing you a warm, peaceful holiday season.
