#20 - Can Balance Pads Improve Soundness? Working on postural muscles w/ Sandro Colla

In this episode of the EquiScience Podcast, we sit down with equine rehabilitation specialist and researcher Sandro to explore the science behind balance pads in horses. We break down his recent study on postural sway, pad density, and limb placement, and discuss how balance training can improve proprioception, spinal stability, muscle function, and injury prevention in sport horses. From rehabilitation protocols for tendon and ligament injuries to practical tips for horse owners using balance pads at home, this conversation dives deep into the biomechanics and physiology behind one of the most popular tools in equine rehab and performance training.@sandrocolla
