What are the Benefits of Horse Stretching?
Horses are athletes regardless of whether the horse competes in an English or Western discipline or is ridden on relaxing trail rides or in an arena. Just like human athletes, a horses muscles can become tight, stiff, sore, strained or even develop tears. Stretching a horse’s muscles is an important part of maintaining his or her overall health and fitness as well as an important component of successful injury rehabilitation in many situations.
The benefits obtained by safely and effectively stretching a horses muscles are:
• Improve flexibility and range of motion (ROM) thereby enabling the horse to perform to the best of their ability
• Prevent injury by strengthening supportive tissue and helping to guard against muscle tightness and tendon shortening
• Reduce post-exercise soreness, stiffness and muscle fatigue
• Improve disposition by relaxing the horse
• Provide early warning signs of a potential injury
• Helps the rider bond with their horse

Latest reviews of Stretch Your Horse app for iPhone and iPad
I bought the app but you get only the basic stretches for that. For more detailed stretches you have to pay $ 1.99 extra for each individual area on the horses body (hind leg, neck etc). Its not about the extra $ 1.99. I just dont like it when you buy something and find out that you got to buy more to get what you want.
To address the review about additions cost - I think it is so much more worthwhile to buy the videos individually because then I am only paying for the stretches I need. These videos are high quality and worth every penny! I bought and started using this app 1 week ago and have already seen improvements in not only my horses rang of motion, but also in our bond. He is so much more at ease with me handling him and more willing to work! I ride reining horses but I cant see how this wouldnt benefit riders of all disciplines.
I dont agree with the price comments at all. $1.99 per stretch is clearly stated in the app description. Its a fraction of the cost of a body worker or vet bill. I bought the app and 3 stretches. My horse can now bend so some more easily. Thanks for creating a great tool for horse owners to use!
What a reasonably priced app! $1.99 per stretch is dirt cheap compared to vet and chiro or massage bills. My horse had tight neck and shoulder muscles. After just one week, I can see the improvement! Love the color anatomy pix that comes with the app!
This is much better than paying hundreds on a chiropractor or massage therapist. Its better to prevent injury rather than pay the consequences later. I highly recommend this app!
