      <image:title>Blog - Secret Sauce - Ok, well…there isn’t a sauce, secret or otherwise. It doesn’t exist. We, as horse people, are going to encounter one or likely most of these problems along the way. It’s part of what we sign up for, and if we don’t want them… well, a tennis racket, heck even a golf club can provide us a less complicated hobby! I know, I know – tennis players and golfers might disagree.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Hands ON</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. Run your palms from the horse’s poll (behind his ears) all the way down his spine then continue down the back of his legs to his hocks (both sides.) Then run your hands down all four legs. See green lines on the diagram for a general idea. Do you feel any areas that are warmer or cooler than the others? Also, notice if any areas are raised or slightly indented. If so, make note of the areas. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, inconsistencies in surface areas can indicate imbalances.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Hands ON</image:title>
      <image:caption>2. Then run your hands along a similar pathway (both sides). This time use pressure from your fingers or palms. See yellow lines on diagram. You are going over muscles. Note there is no muscling in the lower leg. Are there areas that feel hard or tight? Does the pressure cause a little visible spasm? Does the horse pull away, shift, pin their ears, or give you one of those looks of annoyance? Again, make a note.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Hands ON - How do you know if your horse is responding? Look for the following:</image:title>
      <image:caption>- Blinking or half closed eyes -Licking and chewing -Yawning (as shown in the photo) -Shaking of the head or body -A big exhale</image:caption>
