This will be run in our members’ private Facebook group.

Dr. Gillian Tabor will be reviewing – The effect of a physiotherapy intervention on Thoracolumbar posture in horses, by Amy Shakeshaft and Gillian Tabor.

Following on from Dr. Kieran O’Brien’s talk, Dr. Gillian Tabor will discuss ways to support the maintenance of your horse during increased periods of stabling. 

Whilst appreciating that factors such as keeping your horses stabled due to constraints from yard owners, land management, or your horse’s injury are not generally ideal. Gillian will talk through ideas to help your horse’s mobility and physical wellbeing during these times.
