[QUOTE="Miss Daisy, post: 190384, member: 3568"] I have a 7 year old paint gelding that is sway-backed. I spoke with a vet and many friends and like mentioned before, exercise helps a lot. Also, there are certain points on a horse when touched/pushed/rubbed the right way will make a horse flex his back muscle. If you stand behind your horse, feel for the softer spot up top behind the flank area. Press with all of your fingers. Another trick is to rub the belly near where you would find the navel. If performed correctly and the horse flexes his back, repeat a couple times each day and it will begin to improve posture. [/QUOTE]
