𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛

So let's break it down a bit.

𝐻𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 is the process of a creating habits. These habits can keep or improve certain skills for daily use. Mostly in the case of phyisical limitations.

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 is there to create habits to prevent injuries or physical issues.

𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 is there to learn completely new habits to heal injuries or physical issues.

In any case, working with your horse sustainibly demands that you're aware healthy habits needs to become a part of the (daily) routine. Understanding how the body works, how the motion flows and how to help your horse move the body in a healthy way takes time to do research.

You basically need to become the personal trainer of your horse.

Horses with a kissing spine usually are in the 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 stage. Which means they need to learn new skills and techniques to use the body. It takes quite some patience and clarity on what it is you're looking for. In my previous post I already mentioned the psychological impact. So it's not just the body that needs to heal, it's also the mind. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒ℎ𝑎𝑏.

But when purchasing a horse, it's obviously best to start with 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛. The work isn't much different that rehabilitating a kissing spine. I train my youngster exactly the same as the ones with kissing spine. The process is just slower. So if you have the chance to do a full training reboot now.. what are you waiting for?
