And to work on your horse's hind leg area you start by doing some fist compression here. Just all around the area, being careful to pay attention to what your horse's hind leg is doing while you are working on it. Some horses will shift their weight off their hind leg, some horses will pick it up, some horses might threaten you with it, cause they don't like what you are doing. So again light moderate and heavy pressure in the area. And then work on the horse's hind leg, the same way that you worked the front leg. Using the heels of your hands to massage outward. And closing the entire area by stroking down the areas that you've just been working on. And stroke down the horse's hind leg and the gaskin area right down to the hoof.
