    One dead leg when riding - who to see to get help for this?

An osteo tracked it down to a very tight piriformis muscle (in the bum cheek) that was compressing the sciatic nerve because I was sitting a bit wonky. Some painful bum cheek manipulation and it was much better after a couple of sessions. Exercises...

    H&H Mysteries - which ones do you want to know the ending

    Probably loads that I can't think of right now but the one that pops into my head quite regularly is.. How big is Wagtail's beautiful buckskin? Warmblood filly now? And did she make a suitable height for Wagtail to ride?

    Fat or in foal

    Ohh I picked a good day to remember this thread! Sending best wishes for a smooth and peaceful birth and a gorgeous chestnut coloured (skewbald? Can't remember if this is the 'correct' term anymore!) filly.

    Ohh how exciting! I'm another coming out of lurkerdom for this. I remember Tessybear's BOGOF too so amazed to see it's Dolly's birthday today! I have her FB page saved somewhere at home but haven't checked it for ages so will have to find it when I get home. Does that make her 4 now?!? Good...

    Cheltenham Day 4

    Just seen the take off shot of Cue Card's fall and it looks like he did the exact same thing as Might Bite did in his bad fall last year. I thought that about the girth too Mrs B.

    Cheltenham Day 1

    Aww, loved the history of the thoroughbred cartoon! ITV seem to have really improved their coverage in the last few weeks and even MC seems to have toned things down a bit. Think I'm developing a crush on EC :o Oli is very cute but I think way too young for me.

    Cheltenham Day 1

    Another 'Hi everyone' from me too. Never given racing much thought before being off sick last year when Cheltenham was on and loved it. I booked these four days off when I went back to work after Christmas and have been looking forward to it ever since!
