Equine Freedom Solutions

Kelly Snyder is an Equine Functional Posture & Movement Specialist providing postural and movement analysis and treatment to horses in the greater Asheville area . Poor posture, aka, Abnormal Compensatory Posture (ACP) can be directly connected to poor movement. Reasons behind a horse developing an ACP are many, but can include hoof imbalance, poor saddle fit, rider imbalance, certain riding and training techniques, injury and sickness. Left untreated, these postural compensation patterns can lead to painful issues such as kissing spine, hunter’s bump, arthritis, impaired proprioception, and stress-related behavioral problems.
