Hi all, I really need help. My mare has a roached back which has never come across as a problem but thought id mention this as well. Although lately have noticed her spine leads to the left side of her body when facing behind her and her right side of her pelvis is higher up then the other side. Ive tried to do some research about this but haven't found any good advice. I've had the physiological out who noticed straight away and was quite concerned and then a week later I had the Chiro out to try put it back in place but he wasn't very concerned so didn't touch it but got me to get her mum and glucosamine to help with joint pain ect. I feel like since noticing this difference in her pelvis, her work ethic has began to deteriorate, she is an enthusiastic jumper and has such a lovely shape over the fence but recently has been very put off and hesitant and has a bit of a "trot and pop" shape over any fence no matter how big or small.... she does have bad heals so has corrective shoeing and ive heard this can be a reason for the pelvis go twist/move. What is everyones advice? do I seek out a better Chiro and see what they think? will it effect her future? I wanted to eventually do higher level show jumping as she is very talented and bold. thanks, any help is appreciated
