You know those little important pieces a like hip, a rib, a shoulder? Well there may be an explination as to why jumping the things was not going to happen Sunday. Stead's gots his massage/accupunture/adjustment today. First time since the gravel incident. And to be expected his left side was effed up. I didn't even have to tell her which side it was. She immediately found his left shoulder was out, his left hip was out and he had a rib that was popped up. She said lifting his front end would have been tough for him. Taking off of his left hind would have not been easy. And lifting his back where the rib was out, under the saddle, would have been very painful. Poor Dude. There were a few other various things that were adjusted. The movement in his body once she would fix something was like magic. She is by far the most effective treatment that I have seen. And Steady loves her and that's saying a lot because he doesn't love very many people.
I have a jump lesson tomorrow and I am excited to see how he feels.
Not your average OTTB given another chance at a new life and a mostly average busy Mom who never gave up on her dream to ride again. An unlikely pair at an unlikely time, learning to event and loving life!
Isn't it amazing how much of a difference it makes?! It absolutely helps my horse more than anything else.
ReplyDeleteWho do you use as your chiropractor? I'm looking for one for Super Kid because something is not right somewhere
ReplyDeleteYay for Steady! At least there was an explanation. :) Did you blog about the gravel incident?? I'm drawing a blank.... I wish I could find an awesome chiro for Chrome.
