Stretching is free! With everything costing so much these days, this versatile tool gives your pocketbook a welcome break. Stretching can and should be performed daily, but pay more attention to it when heading into the long winter months, when riding becomes somewhat more challenging. Riders often decide to give their horses the winter off, free from exercise. Inclement weather makes turnout limited and horses are stuck inside with very little movement. Stretching can temporarily replace exercise during such times.
