🚨LETS RELEASE SOME RHOMBOIDS 🐎🚨

Rhomboids are the deep muscle located at the top of your horses neck. The first part is located on the top of the neck at the cervical section and the second is located in the thoracic region near the withers.

The rhomboids are responsible for retracting, elevating and rotating the scapula. (Picking up and putting down the front leg)

When these muscles get tight it can alter your horses gate to short stride, become choppy in stride, along with the inability to lift and round its neck and free their shoulder movement. (Among a few others)

Since the rhomboids act as your counter balance to the horses movement this can be a cause of lack of strength in the hind end or hyperflexion of the neck due to the riders hands holding too much tension, which drives the horses neck downwards and the horse cannot move with proper self carriage.
