Winston had his back looked at by the chiropractor last night, after I felt he wasnt right at our last event.
Turns out he was seriously bad across his back, pelvis and just behind the wither
I have been finding him increasingly difficult to keep straight, hes been riding on the forehand and standing square was a joke as he continued to poke his arse in
and stand crooked.
His jumping however, has been great
He was also playing up on the Pessoa - bucking like a goodun although putting in some lovely work, I now think his reaction was due to sore spots on his back.
So.... my question is - what exercises can I use to strengthen his back?
Riding him long and low is a good exercise, but this does tend to put him on his forehand.
As soon as he is able - i will start lunging again - but are there any other ideas?
Thank you
