Train Equine Yosage
which is yoga for your horse.
Train your horse to be supple, use his back and top line with relaxation.
Yosage is good for all horses whether
hunters, trail, western...
By training your horse with Equine Yosage
your horse will become more responsive to your aids and love you for releasing
his tight muscles. Yosage
will even help a horse with back problems because it relaxes the back and stretches the spine...
Teach your horse to stretch and elongate through his spine so he
carries the rider with ease and supple muscles. Releasing the horse’s back will also improve his gaits, and his attitude.
To learn more about Equine Yosage or to
schedule an appointment for your horse call Kristin at 724-206-9902.

Here is an example of a horse stretching through its whole topline - Yosage or yoga for
horses.
A horse can be taught to stretch either under saddle or on the lunge line. Stretching releases
all the knots in a horse's top line, enabling it to move with ease and eliminate back problems. Of course, all the stretching in
the world will not help if the saddle is not fitting correctly or the rider is not sitting in balance.
Note how this horse
is tracking up from the hind end and stretching throughout its whole back and spine.

| Stretching 'down and out' to develop top line |
Learn riding, ground
work and lunging techniques to release tight muscles that may hamper your horse from performing and moving fluently at all
three gaits. Learn to stretch the whole top line from tail to poll without the horse pulling or falling on the forehand.
Developing your
horse’s suppleness throughout the whole top line will keep it sound, happy and athletic. Treat your horse to a total
Yosage release by learning how to stretch the whole horse whether under saddle, on the lunge or from the ground.
