Saviez-vous que la position de vos pieds peut influencer celle de vos épaules ?
Câest parce que le corps recherche constamment son Ă©quilibre et son centrage. Chaque articulation et chaque muscle effectuent de petits ajustements automatiques pour vous maintenir droit et stable. Un changement Ă la base â vos pieds â crĂ©e une rĂ©action en chaĂźne vers le haut, modifiant lâorganisation de vos genoux, de vos hanches, de votre colonne vertĂ©brale et de vos Ă©paules.
Ce concept, comme nous le savons tous, sâapplique Ă©galement aux chevaux. Un changement Ă leur base â leurs pieds â crĂ©e une rĂ©action en chaĂźne vers le haut, modifiant lâorganisation de leurs boulets, de leurs carpes, de leur poitrail, de leurs Ă©paules, de leur colonne vertĂ©brale et de leur bassin, et ce, sans mĂȘme quâils y pensent.
Câest un rappel important : la posture, dans nâimporte quel corps, nâest jamais isolĂ©e Ă une seule zone. De petits changements Ă la base peuvent se rĂ©percuter sur toute la chaĂźne cinĂ©tique et transformer votre posture â et celle de votre cheval.
Votre posture influencera votre position en selle et la posture de votre cheval influencera lâajustement de la selle.

Hereâs a simple but fascinating way to see your bodyâs kinetic chains in action.
Did you know your foot position can influence your shoulder position?
For years I struggled with rolled shoulders. No matter how many posture exercises I tried, nothing seemed to âstickâ and they made me feel a littleoff-balance .Then one day someone pointed out that the real culprit wasnât my shoulders at all â it was my feet.
I have flexible, flat (pronated) feet. That hidden imbalance was quietly affecting my posture all the way up my body. When I consciously roll my feet into a more neutral or high-arched (supinated) position, my shoulders naturally follow â they open up, flatten out, all on their own.
Thatâs because a body is always balancing and centering itself. Every joint and muscle makes small, automatic adjustments to keep you upright and stable. A change at the foundation â your feet â creates a chain reaction upward, shifting how your knees, hips, spine, and shoulders organize themselves.
This concept, as we all know, applies to horses as well. A change at his foundation â the feet â creates a chain reaction upward, shifting how his ankles, knees, chest, shoulders and spine and pelvis organize themselves,all without any conscious thought.
This is a powerful reminder that posture in any body is never isolated to just one area. Small changes at the base can ripple through the entire kinetic chain and transform how you â and your horse â carry yourself.
