Spartan has almost rolled his eyes from that last lumbar adjustment. Imagine walking through life working for humans while they care for you so much that you end up in a killpen at fourteen. I am so glad, that Spartan is in the right hands now - somtimes even including the most capable of Dr. Doug's.

Hi Vaga, the temporomandibular joint has connections to three superficial myofascial chains, the hyoid bone has connection to the dorsal muscle chain and ventral muscle chain. When I put my finger in his mouth and exert pressure on the tongue and or palate the horse start to chew, activates his hyoid bone, and release the tension. Horses have very often tension in the jaw that influences both the rest of the body and the mind of the horse. Thanks for your question, it is indeed all fascinating.
