Notice if they are feeling temporary muscle soreness from tissue manipulations, such as stiffness. This is a sign of the body adjusting to the release of compensation patterns and tension, the fascia is re-organizing and toxins are releasing. Provide light hand-walking, groundwork or extra turnout time post session if your horse is presenting stiffness.

The body is finding a new way to move. You may feel that they carry themselves differently, integrating new movement patterns. They can often feel softer and more loose. Easing back into ridden work is important to avoid triggering compensation patterns.
3. ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ & ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐
Notice any licking, chewing or yawning, a full-body shake, increased water intake and bathroom activity. Visible skin changes such sweat patches and/ or raised blood vessels (perfectly normal and usually resolves within a day).
All great signs of further release and processing!
