If your ridden horses are unhappy out of work then it does sound as if they'd be better off in another home. Have you considered getting a sharer to help keep them exercised until they're sold/rehomed? I'm thinking it would be easier to pass on fit and happy horses that are currently working than miserable cranky ones in the field. Better for you financially too. With only the shetland left for yourself, could you ride a plodder at a riding school when you want an occasional ride? At least the shetland keeps you part of the horsey world. Was the treatment you had meant to be a cure, or just pain relief? Because if only pain relief and you then go back to what you were doing before (because it doesn't hurt), you maybe made things worse and now the pain is over-riding the medication again.
I suffer with wear and tear!! How old are you of you dont mind me asking?? At the moment I am on Zapian and can take up to 8 a day (total 4000mg ) the cold really does not help, So a bit of deep heat or a hot water bottle the pain never goes its alway's there I've not ridden all winter due to the boy's having there winter jolly's I am dreading riding again My doctor wont let me have an op as he say's I'm to young so I have got to suffer for the next 20 year's or so
I'm 27. Agree the cold doesn't help! I use heat patches a lot, good to ease the muscles and keeps me warm
How old are you? I think they avoid surgery as much as possible especially when younger.
I went to the physio at the hospital today, now very sore as he was trying to loosen up some of my joints, he said my muscles have slightly relaxed probably as I haven't been working/riding so they aren't constantly tense as they were before and I have to carry on with all my stretches!
There are some other factors that are influencing me selling mine, some that have been cropping up now and then over the 6 months/year and this is really tipping me to go ahead with it.
I'm finding it amazing how many people struggle and suffer too, we are a dedicated lot!!
It is interesting to see how everyone copes!
