Fascia and its role in equine movement Fascia is a connective tissue network that surrounds, supports, and protects every structure in the body. It maintains structural integrity, ensures optimal positioning of organs and muscles, and plays a central role in functional movement. Research shows that approximately 90% of a horse’s free nerve endings are located within the fascia. This makes it a key structure for movement coordination, pain perception, neural signaling, and proprioception. Given i
