I have had my horses back treated as she was out a week ago and have found out that the reason she was out is that i was out also so i have seen a spinal touch person and found out to my shock i was 3 inchs out on my right side so have been treated and i feel so much better and taller and lighter she said that its quite common that if you horse is out you are also, i was wandering if anyone else has found this out

I have a personal trainer who sent me to a physio because I'm so crooked (I also fractured my pelvis in a fall as a child which I'm sure doesn't help). This guy said he often sees riders who are twisted and that he felt it was down to horse owners regularly riding the same horse so they are always compensating for the same weakness, which causes them problems which in turn accentuates the horses problem. He also said because canter is a three time gait it twists the horses pelvis even though it stays on a straight line and because we're sat on top causes us to twist to stay straight. Sorry not sure if that is terribly clear description but it made sense when he said it!
 
Makes perfect sence i was having big troubles with getting her to canter on the right rein so i will be intrested to see when i ride her on sunday if now i am fixed if it will help
