Very interesting stretches they do for the horses, at first when they said stretches i thought they were talking about like taking him out for a ride or something like that. How could i have been so stupid to think that though, i mean that would not be stretching would it that would be more like excercise.

I don't think you really have to warm up your horse before you streach unless you are doing a streching series. With my horse, Birdie, I just streach her neck and legs before I get on.

I started stretching my mares legs in front and behind so she would be able to stand for the farrier. Not only does it limber her up, but if I do it a few times a week, she won't think it's weird for someone to hold her legs in odd positions.
