braced or sore neck, fussiness in the contact, tension after dental work
About this program
The neck is the horse's steering wheel and balance pole in one — and it braces at everything: an unsteady hand, a sore tooth, a wrong-height feeder, an old pull-back on the ties. A braced neck restricts the whole front end.
Consider this program when:
- the horse braces its neck and resists the contact
- poll and upper neck stay tight after dental or veterinary work
- stiffness turns the whole front end wooden
- an older horse's neck is losing its lateral bend
Both sides in one treatment. A neck that will not bend one way, or any front-limb stumbling, is a veterinary case — necks hide serious findings.
