Hello one and all, how is everyone?

Rode D properly tonight since our conflict at camp , and he was a bit of a donut! Only because everything was suddenly scary - having gone past it yesterday...so took him in the school and I think a fly must've farted near his ear because he just kept leaping around at nothing! Anywho, he soon settled and rode in a nice outline etc - if a little bit too low.

Until the canter :| It was SHOCKING!

I think it must've been him just dragging his back legs , but I'm also a bit paranoid his hips a bit out again. (possibly hence his crazy fit in the week,) so will be giving the back lady a ring - just in case

 

[f_s_]

Evening everyone!!!

Just catching up. Daughter's horse was throwing a hissy fit tonight, daughter killing herself laughing at her princess impression!!!

Ah well, she's just coming back into work after having her back done, and think she's a bit full of herself. So, a little more work needed there!!

Well done Idlp!!! Great result and a bit pat on the back!!

and some wine of course

Well done to S_V too, Paddy is a good boy though, so it won't take him long to twig on!!

D_L - you're having the same problem as my daughter I think!!! But Darcy will be fine too. PC camp was just too exciting!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Hehe!

Darcys a bit of a pain at the best of times, but horse camp just blew his head .

The last straw was when he spent about 40 minutes rearing, then leaping from the rear, landing and then bouncing all four feet off the floor whether I asked him forwards, or back. The last rear was the biggest he's ever done and I think he very nearly came over on me

But, he "saved," it by propelling himself forward, dropping his shoulder to deposit me - and take himself back to his field. To which an instructor took a bowl of OATS out to catch him!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

O dear DL - sounds like his two brain cells collided and fried!!

Well all of mine are tucked up for the night in their fields with appropriate feed - the BGL is dun coloured - really minging except for the white line where his girth was........

Oooops have just remembered I have left Incas bridle and girth in the yard as I want to give them a clean - just popping out to get them!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

haha! Darcy looks like BGL too then

And I wouldn't go so far as saying TWO brain cells.. two halves maybe

 

[f_s_]

My pooter is playing up again!!!

This is driving me

!!!

Anyway, you be careful D_L! I know he can be a bit naughty, but you don't want him landing on you!!!

Does he feel or look unlevel? I would definitely get him checked, as I've never heard you say he's done this before. Hope he is ok, and that it's just a bit of high jinx!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Mine was a bit slow before I popped out - seems ok now though!

DL -I think you are doing the right thing getting him checked - rearing needs to be dealt with asap

 

[ForeverBroke_]

We have had issues like this in the past RE him rearing - But it was due to something like his saddle pinching or whatever, so have left a message for chiro etc. He has to have his hips done a fair bit because one of them gets twisted, and one of them drops

But so long as he's always up to date with the visits he's okay. I am slightly behind on his last check so hopefully its just that.

He felt very unlevel in canter in both of his hind legs and was very reluctant to go forwards which is really unlike him as canter is his best pace, and he personally could canter all day. In walk/ trot he felt normal though

I didn't have anyone with me to have a look, so that'll be a morning job

 

[f_s_]

Yes, definitely a back check needed. Daughter's mare has had a dropped pelvis, and had her back done just over a week ago.

She was unlevel, but not lame as such! Didn't rear or buck or anything, but just not comfortable. Hope that Darcy just needs a quick tweek to make him better

 

[ForeverBroke_]

I feel a bit embarrased, because the last time I had the chiropractor out , THING on my yard really was quite rude to her etc and the Chiro really awkardly said "I need to come back out in a month - hopefully when its a bit quieter."

Anywho, its been about a month and a half (I got totally lost with my dates) AND thing will be more than likely be there.

Greaaat.

 

[f_s_]

Oh and this flipping pooter has decided to speed up now!!! Soon they'll be

coming out of it!!!

 

[f_s_]

Can you pick a day and time when you know she's not about? Anyway, how come she was rude to your Chiropractor?? What has it got to do with her???

Some people eh?!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

DL - I know that THING is a bit intimidating but if you have your back lady out again and THING sticks her nose in just tell her very nicely to BUTT OUT as its your consultation and you are paying for the opinion of a professional not her!!

Or I'll do it for you!!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Well she's an Equine Touch practioner , and used to do Darcy because he suffered a bit with the muscles on his neck (and he really enjoyed it,) but he had a few months where he had problems with the lactic acid being removed through his body etc and started to come up with lumps. Anywho , she told me (Again) that he should be sold, he has issues yadada. Anywho , had enough of that - so got this lady out. Which of course - put THING out of some work and she took it out on her.

-SIGH-

She called me miserable today when I didn't interupt their conversation the second they returned from a show and ask how they did. I'm such an awful person...

 

[sea_view]

OMG I think I would flatten her - thank god I have my own place - I think I'd keel over at a yard trying to keep my mouth shut!!

D_L defo thnk u should get all the usuals checked for rearing - prob just all the over excitement of camp but best to be sure!

Where's Samstar - still at work?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Yup - she'll be along in a minute!!

S_V - I think we should all rock up and have a word with the THING on DL's behalf

- or alternatively we could all write what we think and DL can print it out and havd it to her.......

 

[f_s_]

Oh please keep ignoring her, and resist the temptation to ask her how she did!!!

I would luuuuuv the opportunity of telling her where to go!!!

*I must not be mean...I must not be mean...I must not be mean!!*
