· 60% of a horse’s weight is muscle
· Muscles respond to stress or injury by hyper-contraction. This results in unnecessary stress on an opposing muscle or joint.
· Muscle soreness can be a result of injury, cooling down too fast, overstretching or overuse/misuse.
· Muscles, damaged or not, do not show up on x-ray.
· Like us, horses anticipate pain. There way of going become short and choppy resulting in an uneven gait.
