Be sure to remember the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The horse\u2019s back actually possesses an extremely well conceived ligament system. It contains the <strong>nuchal ligament<\/strong> and the <strong>supraspinous<\/strong> (or <strong>supraspinatus<\/strong>) <strong>ligament<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The supraspinous ligament links the top (the processes) of the vertebrae to the sacrum. It continues in a nuchal ligament which will link the cervicals to the withers (so the first thoracic vertebrae). It is in the shape of a fan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nuchal ligament has two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>the funicular part<\/strong>, which links the withers to the top of the skull (it\u2019s right under the mane)<\/li><li><strong>the lamellar part<\/strong>, which links the withers to every cervical vertebrae<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ligament_dos-1.png\" alt=\"Horse's back ligament system\" width=\"694\" height=\"395\"\/><figcaption>The horse\u2019s back ligament system according to Denoix (1997)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a consequence of these ligaments existing&nbsp;<strong>when the horse lower its head, the horse&#8217;s back is pulled up automatically<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try to \u201cmeasure\u201d this yourself. Balance a wooden stick over your horse\u2019s withers and its rump. Keep its head up and measure the space between the lowest point of the back and the stick. Repeat the same process with the horse\u2019s head down. You\u2019ll see the space is way smaller. The horse\u2019s back was pulled up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when the horse\u2019s head is down, its back forms a bridge. It\u2019s this bridge that allows it to carry a rider <strong>while leaving the back muscles to work freely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Important-point-2-8211-To-build-up-muscles-the-back-has-to-be-relaxed\"><b>Important point #2 &#8211; To build up muscles, the back has to be relaxed<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you need to keep in mind is that <strong>the back muscles aren\u2019t designed to carry a rider<\/strong>. The ligament system is taking care of that. The back muscles operate the horse\u2019s stride and its bend (amongst other things, to keep it short). But they have to be relaxed and flexible in order to work correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><b><i>\u201cThe back muscles aren\u2019t designed to carry a rider\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If these muscles are rigid because they need to carry the rider\u2019s weight or to absorb their movements or even because the saddle hurts hurts the horse, the horse\u2019s movement won\u2019t be pretty. That\u2019s what happens when you see horses with their heads high, their backs hollow and no engagement in their hind.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Let\u2019s talk about muscle chains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a muscle perspective, it\u2019s important to talk about both muscle chains: the <\/span><b>dorsal chain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><b>ventral chain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chaines_muscu.png\" alt=\"Horse build muscles muscle chains\" width=\"711\" height=\"395\"\/><figcaption>The 2 muscle chains &#8211; according to Denoix (1997)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The dorsal chain muscles<\/strong> (or \u201ctop line\u201d) are basically the muscles laying on top of the vertebrae. They are the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dorsal cervical muscles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (deep muscles that make up the top part of the neck), the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;erector spinae&#8221; muscle group<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (located around the back), and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gluteal and femoral caudal muscles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which allow the horse to move its hind legs back.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these muscles are <strong>torso and hip extensors<\/strong>. Their contraction allows <strong>the neck to pull up<\/strong> and to <strong>move the hind legs back and in doing so to \u201csink the back\u201d<\/strong>. You must be starting to understand: this chain is <strong>predominant for badly ridden horses<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Ppx_muscles.png\" alt=\"Horse's dorsal chain muscles build muscles\" width=\"694\" height=\"395\"\/><figcaption>Main muscles &#8211; according to Denoix (2014)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The ventral chain<\/strong> however is made up of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ventral cervical muscles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the muscles at the bottom of the neck allowing it to bend), the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abdominal muscles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">femoral cranial muscles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Those allow the horse to <strong>bring its hind legs back under itself<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these muscles are therefore <strong>neck, torso and hip flexors. <\/strong>They allow the neck to lower itself because, yes, what we call a \u201cneck extension\u201d is actually a low cervical <em>flexion<\/em>. Their contraction allows the horse to <strong>lower its neck, to bring back its hind legs under itself and in doing to so pull up the horse\u2019s back<\/strong>. This chain is <strong>predominant for well ridden horses!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we know all this, everything is simpler.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Important-point-3-8211-To-build-muscles-in-your-horses-back-you-need-to-build-muscles-in-its-abdominals-first\"><b>Important point #3 &#8211; To build muscles in your horse\u2019s back you need to build muscles in its abdominals first<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You understand it now, <strong>when the abdominals contract there\u2019s a hip flexion<\/strong>. The hind legs are therefore brought back under the horse.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hip flexion will then induce a <strong>tension in the dorsal ligament system<\/strong>. This way the bridge will rise to carry the rider. This bridge will allow the dorsal chain muscles to work freely and in doing so to <strong>get stronger while relaxed<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, when the abdominals aren\u2019t working, the pelvis and the hind legs won\u2019t be in flexion and the ligament bridge won\u2019t be happening. The back muscles will instead be working and they will rigidify and the horse\u2019s movement will be degraded.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>No abs, no back!!!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So what lessons might be drawn from this? You have to keep in mind that <span style=\"color: #f2692a;\"><strong>top line reinforcement will only come after toning the ventral line.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Also, remember that <span style=\"color: #f2692a;\"><strong>the dorsal chain has to be relaxed in order to get the ventral chain properly functioning<\/strong><\/span>. Both have to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They are antagonistic groups<\/strong>,&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like the quadriceps and the hamstrings muscles in the thigh. Try to bend the knee when your quadriceps is rigid (spoiler: it won\u2019t work). In this case it\u2019s similar: the abdominals can\u2019t work properly if the dorsal chain isn\u2019t relaxed and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both chains move at the same time to bring balance to the movement. When both of them are toned and work in a balanced way we reach the collected strides! The erector spinae muscles pull the neck base up, the abs engaging and flexing the hind legs, the back toned and pulled up\u2026 But you\u2019ll only obtain this after long hours of work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, what can you work on to grow your horse\u2019s abdominal muscles?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/en\/strengthen-horse-shoulder-muscles\/\">How to build muscles in your horse&#8217;s shoulders<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"A-few-exercises-to-work-on-the-abdominals\"><strong>A few exercises to work on the abdominals<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me give you 3 exercises useful for abdominal reinforcement since, you get it, there\u2019s no growing back muscles without growing abdominal muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Exercise #1 &#8211; Neck extension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a pretty simple exercise but it\u2019s really good to build up abdominal muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professor Jean-Marie Denoix explains it well:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen the supraspinous ligament is put under tension, it limits the thoracolumbar flexion and increases the amount of work the abdominal muscles have to put in to keep the engagement.\u201d (Denoix, 2014). <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s translate that. Basically by lowering its head, the horse\u2019s supraspinous ligament tenses and the back is pulled up. So far so good. But the thing is, it\u2019s going to \u201cpull the hind legs behind\u201d (cf. important point #2). This way if you want to get hind legs engagement, the abs will work harder.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This exercise is even harder if you do it uphill!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Ex1_descenteencolure-1.png\" alt=\"exercise back muscles neck extension\" width=\"778\" height=\"276\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Exercise #2 &#8211; A few steps back&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working on going backwards offers a lot of advantages, notably the fact that it\u2019s slow work and it makes the horse work on its coordination.<br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For abdominals the point of going backwards is to work on muscles in a fixed point inversion, in this case the iliopsoas muscle. This muscle links the lower parts of the lumbar vertebrae and the ilium with the top of the femur. It\u2019s part of the abdominal muscle (lumbar region). \u201c<strong><em>It\u2019s the key muscle for hind legs engagement<\/em><\/strong>\u201d (Denoix, 2014).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/psoas_iliaque-746x1024.png\" alt=\"exercices muscler le dos de son cheval abdominaux dos\nhow to streghten back muscles\" width=\"373\" height=\"512\"\/><figcaption>The iliopsoas muscle in action &#8211; according to Denoix (2013)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the horse moves forward, the fixed points of the iliopsoas are the vertebrae and the ilium. It\u2019s going to pull the hind leg forward. When the horse goes backwards, the opposite happens! T<strong>he fixed point becomes the femur, and the muscle will pull the body backwards which is harder.<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give you a clearer image, imagine yourself laying down on your stomach at the end of your bed, arms hanging and act out the push up movement with your arms. That\u2019s too easy! In this case, the fixed point is your body and the mobile point is your arms. Now, actually do push ups. It\u2019s a bit harder\u2026 because you reversed the fixed point (now your hands) and the mobile point (your body). Going backwards is pretty much the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Ex2_reculer.png\" alt=\"abs back muscles exercise\" width=\"778\" height=\"276\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e9e9e9\">&#x1f50e; On the same topic: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/en\/strengthen-horses-hindquarters\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"28310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here is how to strengthen your horse\u2019s hindquarters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Exercise #3 &#8211; Bounce jumps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bounce jumps are really good to make the abdominal muscles work with <strong>quick succession of flexions and extensions<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a matter of fact, when landing from the first fence, the front legs will land then take off immediately to go over the second fence.
