Horse back pain and problems can be man-made

Horse back pain and problems can be man-made

Do you know we could be contributing to our horse back pain?  The article is an excerpted from Hands-On Senior Horse Care.  But most of these are really just common sense:

-    Putting cold water on a hot back,
-    Inadequate warm-up/cool-down,

-    Poorly fitting saddle and/or inadequate or dirty padding,
-    Leaving a too-tight cinch/girth on too long,
-    Poor grooming habits,
-    Poor shoeing,
-    Unbalanced diet,
-    Turning out a fresh horse,
-    Inadequate dental care and/or bitting problems, and
-    Improper training/riding techniques
