Equine Integrative Medicine Based Assessment & Rehab Strategies:
Seven Case Studies with Dr. Ridgway and Manolo Mendez
SEGMENT
Introduction to Fascia, Laterality and the Crooked Horse Syndrome by Dr Kerry Ridgway
This introductory lecture sets the theme for an incredible journey into whole horse rehabilitation, fascia and transforming the crooked horse. Dr. Ridgway discusses his pathway into integrative equine medicine, the gaps that remain in many modern approaches to rehab and the relationships between the function (and dysfunction) of fascia, how crookedness and laterality affect the horse’s soundness, and the complementary roles of integrative veterinary medicine, bodywork and training for wellness.
“Gravity is the 800 pound gorilla in the room and any time we try to work against gravity, every crooked step, we’re setting the horse up for injury.”
A must-watch series for any equine wellness professional interested in promoting soundness and longevity through straightness, suppleness and true balance.
