We have all it heard many times: Stretch your muscles before and after you exercise. But, did you ever stop and think that this applies to your horse, too? Your horse is an athlete, and just like human athletes (and non-athletes too!), muscles need attention to remain healthy. "We do not think enough about what we can do to prevent injury. By warming up the horse and putting it through some stretches, we can increase range of motion and enable the horse to perform more fluidly and to the best of his or her ability," said Dr. Jack Root, DVM, Oakhurst Equine Veterinary Services, and Owner, Grindstone, 1996 Kentucky Derby winner.
To assist with this important exercise, Ilene Nessenson is developing the "Stretch Your Horse" App. Here is a summary of the App's features and benefits:
1) First-of-its-kind content: The Stretch Your Horse App is the world's first video App designed to teach horse owners/riders how to safely and effectively stretch their horse to help enhance performance and prevent injury which can save money on vet bills.
2) Unique functionality: There is no other App in the equine space offering video content, on the user's phone, right at their horse's side, whether in barn or on the trail. No cell service required!
3) Made for all horses and riders worldwide: The Stretch Your Horse videos are beneficial for all horses, regardless of discipline, and all riders, regardless of riding ability.
