Publisher's Synopsis
A stiff horse cannot perform at his best, and this could affect not only his enjoyment of his work, but also your enjoyment of riding him. In many cases, stiffness and soreness is a contributing factor in ridden behavioural problems, including spooking, napping and refusing to stand still to be mounted. There are many exercises that you can do to reduce stiffness and improve your horse's movement, both ridden and in hand.
