All clear & back to work

I too am shocked that this horse is straight back into full work, clearly the OP has not heard of working the horse gently and building up fitness work after an injury, nor has the reason for the original injury been worked out, I would suggest that whoever is standing in the middle of that arena should actually teach you to jump properly, perhaps the very fact that you don't move your hands when you go over a fence, your horse jumps flat and never bascules could be the reason that the back end has to work so hard and has become injured in the first place, carrying on this regime will only mean further vets bills and a broken horse, read a book and learn from what others have said for the sake of your horse, please.

May I suggest that you actually also do some research in to SI conditions. Many vets are divided and give varying treatment plans.
However I am following my vets advice, that advice is to now continue in normal work. We have been following a carful plan of work which include sessions of lunginging with an Equilami to build up and activate the rear end other such work include ground pole work etc long hacks out in just walk building up to trot.

The best time to build up muscle and get the rear end engaging properly is soon after the injection, before its affects diminish. As pointed out by a previous poster who also was given the same advice by there vet.
It takes time for a horse to realize that it can move correctly again.

Again your very personal attack on the riding style is interesting I agree with you the 15 year old lad who is jumping does need to soften his hands. Lets see a video of you jumping?
You reference the fact that jumping has possible caused a SI problem again an ill informed opinion as Armas has only been jumping for about 10 months and has always had the same movement.
Read a book and learn from others, I have been reading a fair bit about SI injuries and rehabilitation have you ? Have you ever had a horse with SI problems? As if you have then I am interested in your treatment plan and what advise the vet gave you.
Tallyho! Nice attempt to diffuse the thread please also post pictures of hot female polo players as well.

I would but there's never any of my good side... :D

On a more serious note... I would but I haven't worked out how to copy image link on an iPad??

Anyone help with this request..? 'tis his thread after all... :)
 
When you bought the Shetland I posted that you should have bought another Armas. Because you are one of the few people who do enough riding to warrant owning two horses:)

You're a biker aren't you? Perhaps you could buy a Harley Davidson and yer man with the brown boots could ride that. Note I said Harley and not Moto Guzzi. Not every style of rider suits every horse IMO :cool:

As to the subject of your immense wealth, you should bring it back here. We've got a double dip recession you know. Although it would mean "cue Supertramp" for most of your vids. People do ask for these vids and updates too don't they. Why the fuss?
