When girthing up your horse, it’s crucial to avoid over-tightening. A girth that’s too tight can cause discomfort, bruising, and even restrict movement. 🤯 Key muscles affected include the pectorals (chest), trapezius (neck), serratus ventralis (ribcage), and latissimus dorsi (lower back). Over-tightening can also put excessive pressure on the ribs and intercostal muscles, making it painful for the horse to move freely. Think of it like wearing a belt that’s too tight—it digs into your skin, lim

TRTmethod | Tristan Tucker | Horse Training on Instagram: "This horse bucked under saddle. I could barely pass my hand over the areas where the saddle, girth, and legs go without her twitching and moving away. If you can't touch those areas, should you be putting a saddle on?

In result, you'll be able to help your horse better."
