Jec Ballou explains how and when to use ground poles at the walk to rehab a horse's movement. Sign up for on-line courses at www.jecballou.com/onlinecourses.
I have been doing rehab with my horse due to hind end suspensory surgery in June. Do you think this would be good in addition to my vets rehab which is walk and trot work only.
Walking ground poles *can* help with this situation, although for those cases I generally recommend specific types of pole arrangements that I did not cover in this video.
My horse was off for a year due to a stifle fracture it's been 2 years healed but his rehab was done wrong (my past trainer moved him to riding to fast) and he's only able to work off his left side will these exercises be beneficial to him to gain mobility back
Love your description and demonstration!
This is ridiculously helpful! I left with no questions about this exercise which means you were able to explain perfectly! I appreciate you!
Wonderful info, thank you! Especially thank you for listing the criteria you'd like to see before you raise anything.
Your videos are awesome! Thank you🙏🏼❤️
Thank you very helpful. How many weeks do you do this in a rehab situation- the entire Rx-ed time?

Yes, though I recommend for your particular horse that you leave the poles on the ground rather than raising them on risers.
Jec, can this help them pull up their abdomen to help with sway back?

Can I ask where you got your full seat boot cut breeches please?

For now, stick to ground pole patterns in a straight line only (no curved lines) and leave poles on the ground rather than raise them up.
@@jecballou thank you I'm going out to try it now
