My 7yr old is due to go for backing shortly but recently he has started clicking and clunking in his back / hips. Hes not lame he doesn't appear to be In any pain and he is his usually happy little self but i'd like him to have a through once over before I sit on him as don't want his first experience of a rider on board to be a bad one. In all my years though I have never had to have a back person / Physio etc out I don't know which profession would be the best to look into and as I nor anyone on my yard has never used one I don't know who's good in the area to contact so if anyone can recommend me someone it would be greatly appreciated
 
We had twice someone from Victoria Spalding's team in Gildersome. One hour of examination and massaging did cost £ 70 and that included travel to West of Bradford (Wilsden) at that time, probably two years ago.
 
Thanks drill bit i'll look her up, am confident there's nothing too wrong as I can't get him to indicate any pain when I give him a good prod but rather be safe than sorry before I hop on board for the 1st time
 
I can highly recommend Joelle Steyt who actually works with Vicky Spalding as per the above post. I have had Joelle treating my horses now for a few years, she is very good. She has a website if you google her, she isnt in the Country for a lot of time per month so booking is essential. She is actually coming to my horses tomorrow, one of them has kissing spines and so far so good with Joelle's treatment.
 
thats great izzwhizz I've herd her name mentioned before I will get in touch as do want him looked at ASAP before I progress his training any further thanks
 
Good luck with it all. If you check out her website and look on the events calendar it is colour coded as to where she is and when.
 
Had a look at her calendar looks like she's fully booked or abroad! have emailed for an appointment but doesn't look like I have a hope anytime soon, assuming my funds clear as promised in next 3weeks am hoping to have him away to trainers by end of next month
 
If thats the case then I would contact Vicky Spalding, she is equally a good Physio.

Incidentally Joelle treated both my mares today, the kissing spines one is now able to start light hacking, she was very pleased with her progress.
 
Also highly recommend Joelle Steyt (but I know you have to book months in advance as she does the belgian and USA teams) and Joe Carby. Tim Jarman is also reportedly excellent (not had personal experience) but again in very high demand. Hope you get someone sorted soon :-)
 
Thanks all I have had a reply from jollee and she is off to Belgium shortly so no appointments till September I will try contact spalding via the YEC this week and hope they have a vacancy this month
 
If you have no joy Janet Barton is very good. She's treated my horse a couple of times. My horse is based near Bradford but I'm sure she'd travel to LS26.
