A case study of Kissing Spine

Kissing spine is seemingly becoming more prevalent in sport horses these days. Possibly due to improved diagnostic imaging, but it certainly is a buzz word these days. Often associated with an end to their career, it can rage in severity but certainly doesn't have to be the end of their riding. As you'll hear in todays episode, a great conditioning and rehab program can bring back their abilities.

Last episode we talked with Emma Baldwin on the owners perspective to equine bodywork. Today we look further into her work rehabilitating horses and specifically discuss a case study that saw drastic improvement through their hard work and dedication. Meet Stoney, the horse with kissing spine.

Photos of Stoney can be seen on our social media pages as well as our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sckLE62B2uc&t=22s

You can connect with Emma and Kurt Baldwin through their social media at @Bar E K Stables on facebook.

If you'd like further information on working with a horse that has kissing spine, we highly recommend you find a trained bodyworker that will work closely with your veterinarian. A great conditioning and rehab program will be the cornerstone for their success.

InHand Equine Therapy last year did a study with Energy Equine in regards to building back tissue through the use of basic exercise practice. You can find further information here:

Thank you for all your support and downloads! Our goal with this podcast is to continually open the conversation around equine wellness and bodywork. It is through open conversation that we can grow this industry with knowledge and understanding of our equine partners. Ever evolving along with tried and true methods of horse husbandry, it’s by learning from one another that we will elevate the care of these amazing animals and partners.
