Ok so I was shown a million stretches at the clinic I went to and of course I thought I could remember them all. I have always done the shoulder stretches so those stuck in my brain but I feel like my horse needs me to keep him streched though the hips ,he has a big booty and uses it! Getting both chiropracted soon too but want to keep them feeling as good as possible!

I take my horse and lift and pull towards his opposite front leg, sort of aim for the front knee.  They will let you know very quickly if this hurts by pulling back.  Lower slowly as you release.

I also pick up their hind leg like a farrier does and put the fetlock on my knee and then strech backwards at about my height.  If you've ever seen a horse strech out his back leg on his own, it's the same thing.  Sometimes they'll even do their own stretch once you've gotten their leg back there.

I forgot one.

I grab their hind leg and lift straight up underneath them.  Don't pull out.
