Hi all,
Im wondering if by one tiny chance, there’s anyone out there that understands this osteo report written in French! I can’t translate it because it’s hand written, and I’m not sure of exact spellings, Google translater doesn’t like that
Any advice greatly received Thankyou
To follow on from Palindrome's translation:
Realignment checks on :
C5 etc.
After treatment checks: movement of right (D = droite) sacroiliac and range
Advice:
Work can be resumed after 1 week (sem= semaine)
Exercises advised: stretch rear left after work
Second visit not required. (hence the line)
Follow up visit in 6-8 months.
Sorry to ask, but because I’m unable to speak to the osteo, thé exam was done in France, and I only have the papers for this horse, I’m wondering if anyone understands if any of the problems have been rectified by the visit, and if some of these problems are long standing problems eg curve in lumbar region, and more muscle one side, is this totally abnormal or common in horses? I’m very confused by it, any help gratefully accepted.
Florry I suggest you raise another thread to attract the osteos on here.
But IMO the take away is in the first three words: the horse is in good overall condition.
Yes there are things that the osteo has noted e.g. slight possibility of curvature, but it is only a possibility which with correct, normal exercise will not develop. With regard to the under development of muscles on the right side, I'd wonder about the way the horse has been trained previously.e.g. has it only ever been ridden on a circular track, or perhaps on a walker that only went one way. In addition horses can have dominant sides just like us but with exercise/use things can be evened up: think how many naturally left handed people were made to write with their right hand until recently.
Also bear in mind that no horse is perfect.
