| This horse was a wonderful cross. Unfortunately, I do not have a BEFORE picture of this gelding, who was in a saddle way too big for his back, and was very sore. HOWEVER, NOTE THE DUST PATTERN TO THE RIGHT. The dust indicates the pattern from his previous plantation saddle, which extended well beyond the 18th rib, and impinged on his croup. The signs that resulted included head tossing, inverted back, sore to palpation. Reluctance to go forward. As soon as he was placed in a saddle that fit, he stretched long and low, licked and chewed, and was able to engage more correctly. He is a good example of the whole horse approach, however, as merely changing the saddle will help, but will not reverse the damage done by the previous saddle. Here's where acupuncture, bodywork, stretches, and chiropractic can all help this horse return to sound function. |
