Does Your Stretch?

[_OC_]

When I get my cob out in the morning from his box,he will always stretch a back leg,either one as his half way through the stable door(Not all mornings!).......the other day he pulled out his front legs to stretch,quite low! My last horse used to never show any signs of this,stretching she never did,I would have thought this was not normal....Thoughts please!

Harry does at times! even when i first get on riding aswell. He arches his neck right over and streches a back leg out behind him

Both my cobs stretch and they both do it very differently ! The Sec D often tucks his chin into his chest and leaves a back leg stuck straight out behind him, which looks very odd, and the Sec C crosses her front legs and stretches right down to the ground with her bum in the air like a cat

mine does the neck and back stretch quite a lot, nice to see, normally followed by all over body shake, he lives out too

Fly goes through quite an impressive repatoire every time I get him tacked up. He streatches fully, ending up being about 11.2hh (hes 16.3), always amuses me!!

Min goes right down at the front, like a dog at times!

Sparks likes to stretch her hind legs almost evrytime you pick one up.

Bert does this too, back and front.

I have recently started doing some stretches with him that the osteopath (sp) showed me and he loves them.

Yes one of mine always has a good stretch of the back legs when she comes out of the stable accompanied by a sort of groan!
