Kissing spine can cause abdominal muscle atrophy and an increased spinal lordosis [loss of the topline]. When a horse has weak abdominal or core muscles there are many reasons. There can be spinal subluxations [ vertebrae that are not moving correctly causing nerve irritation and less power supply to the abdominal muscles]. There can also be lack of proper exercise for your horse and with time these abdominal muscles have lost the tone and dropped the topline. If you do these specific exercises 5 to 6 times per day on a daily basis you can drastically improve your horses topline, decreased pain and improved function.
