B.E.T. (Backman Emotional Technique)
Benefits:
GOAL: ALLOW FOR FULL PAINLESS CONTRACTION OF MUSCLES; AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE HORSE
decreases recovery time in injuries = helps "re-educate" muscles
releases tension and spasms which if left for prolonged periods can lead to injury, poor locomotion, and performance = reduces injury potential
improves mental attitude by assisting in finding the areas of the body that are filled with sore muscles = willingness to perform
- Creates better communication between horse and rider/driver; Assists the rider/driver as to certain aids for improving performance.
Horses, like any athlete, need proper maintenance so that they can perform optimally! It is very difficult for a rider or driver to know...
The cause of a horse not bending when there’s no obvious signs of lameness. (The horse may have a tight muscle in his/her back.)
The reason a horse isn’t wanting to go onto the bit. (May have to do with some soreness of the neck.)
Why the horse kicks out when asked it to change leads. (This may be old or new saddle soreness restricting shoulder movement.)
These are just a few examples of what may be corrected and/or prevented with therapeutic massage.
