Muscle Discomfort
Numerous obstacle in a horse’s life can cause muscle discomfort. This discomfort can come from
ill-fitting tack, overuse or improper use of the horse's muscles, and any kind of injury. The first
signs of pain are usually abnormal behavior during riding or out in the pasture. Many horse
owners don’t realize how tight and tense horses muscles can get and how much energy of the
horse is consumed.
