Thankyou, I didn't get a chance to ask the chiropractor when she came out, because I wasn't there, my mum was the one that dealt with it, I was just curious, I've been told part of it is to do with his poll aswell, which makes sense because he was ear shy, thankyou! I'm just stuck on the B & P...

Hello everyone, & a happy new year to you & your horses! I'm wondering if anyone Can translate my chiropractor report for my horse please? as i dont have the foggiest when the mean! just that he had a bad back, which is now OK (the report was back in march when we got him) -- Pheo 7/8 year old...

I plan on doing exactly that! Doesnt help that my lessons tomorrow... Praying im uninjured! Lol x

Both of which were the worst falls ive had! Aching like a gooden today!

From my bad one i learnt to go out & buy a body protector, from the one today, i learnt to just let the horse go unless you wanna get trampled!

A little extra help never goes a miss, no matter how experienced you are

Sounds like a plan! After 11 falls there will be falls no more!

To ne quite honest i think the thrill of getting another horse of her own overwhelmed her! I didnt learn to ride on this boy, i learnt on another horse, that we share, me & mum mainly do the riding as his owner isnt very confident so i knew how to walk, trot & canter before we got our own, its...

Ill be trying that then! Sounds healthy enough ;) lol

I dont EVER ride him unless there is a responsible experienced adult around watching us

My mum does also ride him, shes got 40 years of experience under her belt too, so that helps, hes come on massively since we have had him, as has my riding, so im not ready to give up just yet!

Ill talk to him friday and see what he says, is doing basic stretches for the lower leg any good?

My mum helped break him, she worked on a stud & handled youngsters, her & her friend are both qualified ais, although choose not to teach, and they give ,e pointers and suggestions, i check him if i know hes going to have a turn, and riding him more has got me used to his actions before he does...

I've spoke to my instructor & shown him pictures, he said my upper position is fine, just needs minor tweaking (hand position) & he seems to think the leg problem is down the scope he has, but he does notice at the lessons, just not on the scale it is on my own boy

He is my own horse, we got him ownership handed over as a bombproof 10yo, turns out he was 4 & barely broke! I had been riding a year in February, although that doesnt sound long, i am in the advanced (top group) at the riding school i go to
