Episode 108: The Missing Piece: Equine Posture Transformations

Understanding Your Horse: The Value of Functional Posture Education

What if you could recognise the smaller signs that your horse is struggling, understand why, and feel confident knowing what to do next?

In this episode Dr Raquel Butler and Sophie Vandenberg explore how understanding the relationships between posture, movement, balance and behaviour can change the way we care for our horses - and share a few incredible transformations when these principles are applied to everyday horse management.

Through real experiences from Equine Functional Posture course participants, we discuss:

• Recognising subtle changes in posture, movement and behaviour.

• Examples of horses (of all ages!) showing improvements in balance, limb control, posture and willingness to engage.

•  How physical stability and discomfort may influence behaviour and training.

• Why individual assessment matters more than simply following a collection of exercises.

• Developing the skills to make informed decisions about training, rehabilitation and professional care.

The Equine Functional Course is now open for Enrolment - Closes 2nd Nov 2026
