I’ve also been doing your ‘pilates’ stretches every single day for 3 weeks, and I can’t believe the difference! We must have gained more than 30cm in flexibility on her ‘stiff’ side, but more importantly, she’s now standing herself square and balancing herself/engaging her core before stretching - something I’ve been trying to get her to do (without being prompted) forever! To be totally honest, although I do a lot of in-hand dressage for strength/suppling, I’ve always thought static stretches were a bit pointless from a 'real training' point of view, but I stand corrected!! I'm 100% converted!
