I'm glad I found Richard too.<BR/><BR/>Tracey, yes, I think you're right about Richard and Curt. I'm glad they're there for both of us.<BR/><BR/>Grey horse, I'm not sure how long this recovery is going to take but I hope it's swift. The horse will go stir crazy if it isn't. He loves to work.<BR/><BR/>Heather, just like with people sometimes chiropractic adjustments do not hold. The tight muscles from the injury will "pull" and "pressure" causing pain and sometimes misalignment. Of that occurs that misalignment is not as bad as the original injury.<BR/><BR/>Also the horse can be sore from the adjustment. Using the muscles correctly because the pain is gone can cause new muscle pain.<BR/><BR/>If it were my horse having the kind of reactions you are talking about I would get him rechecked. I have had horses that needed rechecked once a week. That horse it took a month before she finally held her adjustment and she needed one more check a month later. Since then she's doing great. It really all depends on the individual.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>Victoria, thanks for the award.

This was the first time recently you have mentioned using a chiropractor and I have been fretting about my horse and chiropractor the last few days. I hope it is OK for me to ask you a few questions. <BR/>My horse is a 5yo Purebred Gelding with Khemosabi bloodlines. I have had him since July and have been working on training him for pleasure riding and endurance. For the last few weeks he began pinning his ears when I would approach his sides or pet his rib and girth area or his chest. I had a Chiropractor out this weekend and it really seemed to work well. The following day, the horse no longer pinned or nipped when I toughed what used to be his sore spots. The day after that though, he has begun kicking out when I pet near his upper flank. Is this a normal reaction from chiropractic for the sore spots to 'move'? Is he just adjusting to being aligned? Do you think he need a followup adjustment before our one month appointment? <BR/>I plan on staying off of him until he is out of pain. Does this kind of reaction usually work its self out with time/work?<BR/>I really appreciate your opinion.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Heather <BR/>sabumi.blogspot.comHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208998958861055873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-12721459655640772372008-12-02T06:47:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:47:00.000-08:00Just when things are going well, something seems t...Just when things are going well, something seems to happen to stop the progress. Glad the chiropractor could help, and hope Legs will be back in training soon. <BR/>Also, good luck with your surgery, hope all goes well.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-13744560890112889722008-12-02T06:25:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:25:00.000-08:00Kudos for not letting the boxing method slip out i...Kudos for not letting the boxing method slip out into inexperienced hands. I have no clue what it is, lol, but it riles me to no end when clinicians do things that they make look easy, but become sheer stupidity in the hands of novices.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing how Legs shapes up. I said it before, and I'll say it again...I'm thankful you've found Richard! Sounds like he is for you what Curt's been for me. I think we can all use someone like that in our horsey lives.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369244473889348601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-5287819780835052652008-12-02T05:35:00.000-08:002008-12-02T05:35:00.000-08:00It's amazing how much good a second pair of eyes c...It's amazing how much good a second pair of eyes can do. Having that second opinion or a different perspective or idea is so, so valuable.
