Karen plays with a student's horse on line using her 'moving massage' technique to help restore his posture. This technique involves using a gentle touch to bring awareness to overused muscles and helping the horse realize he can release them, while moving! This particular horse has a long term habit of poor posture. Since he is otherwise a willing, responsive horse that is relatively well aligned, and because his neck posture is so exaggerated, he makes a great candidate to demonstrate this technique. (This was one of the very first videos in the Classroom, from 2010)
