I did stretching and its effect on rider performance for my dissertation a long tome ago now. It was very interesting but to be honest what with work I just don't have time to stretch myself or my horse.

I use stretches on the advice of horse massage / physio people, and do carrot stretches on the basis of lots of reading.

thankyou all for your replys please keep them coming
i have decided to do this for my dissertation to see if there is a difference within the stride length and range of motion within the horse after stretching .

Inititially i was told by my equine physio but now try to stretch all of them as i really believe it helps... Time will tell after the dissertation i shall keep you all informed

Done

Done. TBH I use a massage pad and I have found with this it does seem to slightly increase stride length particularly in walk (just an observation not scientifically verified).
