My two had an appt with the chiropractor today. I had two concerns: my gelding on Adequan, and my new horse that had the cart adventure.
The Adequan horse had some issues, mainly because of a gait change since he has been on the Adequan. He has been having trouble getting out of the trailer and I thought it was the arthritis, but it was because his pelvis was locked up, due to a gait change. When we got home after the treatment, he stepped out of the trailer without any trouble! She was pleased with his stifles and his legs. We will continue with monthly maintenance injections.
My new horse had lots of issues, probably all related to our adventure.
I also asked her to look at my hand, which has given me trouble since that day. I had been to the dr about it and he wanted to give me a cortizone pack, which I refused. The chiro told me it was jammed. She manipulated the hand then pulled--ouch!!!! I think when I hurt it, I was functioning on adrenalin and did not notice that I jammed it.
So, we are all good to go back into harness work!
Also, she has a barrel horse that is scared of cows. She said the only thing she can think of is to put him in with cows for a while so he can get used to them. I seriously need to pursue this; no way can I drive around my area without seeing cows. We need to deal with it.
