That's good to know, thank you. Was your horse rideable before she got the treatment?
She came off of loan in the October in poor condition with bad mud fever, we did some light hacking but stopped as her legs were in a bad way. Around the January we brought her back into work and she was "ok" she started headshaking in the March, the first vet said it was purely behavioral and to ride her through it. She put me in A+E, we did one lap of walk round the school, she exploded went up vertical then went into a bucking frenzy I hit the deck head first from about 12ft. She didn't stop bucking when she got rid of me either poor girl Second vet diagnosed and referred to the third vet for treatment. I never rode her again after treatment either sadly, the treatment helped the symptoms but couldn't cure the her problem (compressed vertebra in her neck) I don't know what you know about the trigeminal nerve but it runs inside the vertebra so as she had a compression there was nothing we could do for her, she had given up on life and slipped away so peacefully like it was what she had been waiting for :'( We tried for nearly a year to save her to be honest that was probably to long but I wanted to try everything I could for her.
