The chiropractor came today. So exciting. The good news is Prissy is good to go. Wonderful, sound old mare. Worth a million bucks.
Becca has been adjusted. She is stiff to one side in her neck. We have stretching exercises to do. And she has an old tear in her bootie. I am told to massage her gluts to help break that up. Fun times. Bootie rubs. And her back, where it was swollen, is to be massaged. Then I will massage the muscles along her spine on her back and rub her belly and close to her butt to make her stretch. No problemo.
And as for Diesel...we did all kinds of adjusting. And I have homework with him. We are to back around the roundpen each direction once every day. I am to massage his body and back in a triangle shape near the affected area. I am to stretch his neck. I can ride at a walk unlimited. We will trot in very small amounts and build up the muscles. Don't want to overdo it.
The best news....I GET TO RIDE THE BOY!!!!!! And the chiropractor wanted to buy him. Bad. He's the man. Superman. And he is mine, mine, mine. That really is the ultimate compliment. But, I will never sell him. Period.
Diesel will get a follow-up in six weeks. The girls should be fine with just the exercises. I will be busy every day with that.
My question is do you believe in chiropractics? What are your thoughts?
