This picture is a simulation of what happens when a human sits on a horse who has a sagging back. The weight of the rider on the horse’s back, sags the back even more, until the spiney processes in the horses back start rubbing together, trapping nerves and causing all kinds of pain and even behavior mayhem.
Here’s an xray showing what that looks like inside the horse.

Kissing spine is completely fixable by the horse LIFTing their back.
When the horses back is lifted those bones separate again – then they’re not pinching nerves and they’re not rubbing on each other.
So how do we get a horse to lift their back?
It’s very simple – a horse in their Comfort Zone LIFTS their back all by themselves. We’ll talk about how in a minute. This next picture is a simulation of what happens when you sit on a horse’s back when it’s LIFTed up. The weight of the rider doesn’t push it down. When your horse’s back is lifted, they can carry your weight with strength and ease.

Here’s an example of a kissing spine recovery captured on video. As you can see, Pye had a VERY saggy back, with monumental kissing spine. In six weeks of an on line clinic, Pye had literally transformed that damage. Gosh I’ve seen this video so many times and I still cry tears of happiness when I see the video footage from Mel that showed how much Pye healed in only 8 weeks.
Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
What if healing your horse’s back problems were an opportunity to step into a whole new level of brilliance with them and then that brilliance was how you reach you and your horse’s dream?
You get both the healing and the brilliance on Fast Track to Brilliant Riding. And if you’re thinking that brilliance is out of your reach, then I look forward to us smiling together about that on a live event one day. You can check out the Fast Track info by clicking on the picture below.

And this horse in the x-rays? Vast amounts of healing can take place once the bones and joints and movement of a horse’s body are happening the way they should be – I’m constantly amazed at the infinite possibilities that happen around here.
Can we fix EVERYthing though?
We could absolutely get the “kissing” out of this horse’s spine and make him comfortable in his retirement, but personally I wouldn’t be counting on this particular horse wanting anyone on his back after being in so much agony.
