Question: “My horse’s back seems sensitive when I’m grooming him, especially on his left side. He also resists using his back when I ride, which makes bending and collection challenging! My vet said that my horse’s back muscles are sore and tight, but that there’s no underlying spinal problem. He also checked his teeth, hoof balance, saddle fit, bridle, etc. and they were all okay. I’d like to help my horse be more comfortable and athletic. Is there something I can do to help keep my horse’s back muscles more supple?”    Answer: I’m glad you had your vet out...
