What is the Thoracic Sling? Horses do not have a clavicle connecting the front limbs to the trunk like humans do. Instead, the horse requires the function of the strong muscles ( Serratus Ventralis and Pectoral group) to form a "sling" to support the chest between the horse's front legs. The Serratus Ventralis has 2 main parts. One (Serratus Ventralis Cervicis) extends the neck and moves the scapula forward. It can become weak and imbalanced with restrictions. The 2nd part (Serratus Ventralis Th

Tendon vs. Muscle: Engaging the Thoracic Sling The thoracic sling is primarily a tendon- and fascia-driven elastic system — not a muscular one 🙌🏽 Knowing this changes everything about how you want to train: Tendons ≠ Muscles 👉🏽 Muscles contract and hold. Tendons and fascia store and release energy like springs and elastic webs.

Here is my next thoracic sling exercise. This is another really gentle one where you are using minimal contact then use even less.

None of these exercises should cause your horse any discomfort or reaction so think minimal pressure as part of your daily routine. This another one from Horses Inside Out. | Moira Knowles Remedial
