Yes! - that article is about the exercises in the book I mentioned earlier - Activating your Horse's Core. Great research being done by Dr. Clayton and Dr. Stubbs in this area right now. Talked with Dr. Stubbs last year and they were seeing significant increases in muscle activation and spinal range of motion in the study horses after 6wk of this work. Granted -they were being done 5 days/wk in their study. Can't wait for the results to be published.
Dr. Stubbs has been the physiotherapist for the Australian Equestrian team for many years, but we are really lucky to have her here in the U.S. now - she just moved to Michigan to work with Hilary this year. We will hopefully all be hearing much more from her soon. She is a really great lady and very well educated in the area of equine physiotherapy. She completed her PhD work in equine back pain. With her collaboration with Hilary, we are likely to see some good research based approaches to rehabbing horses used more frequently.
