He is so nice, he also speaks English, so if i get stuck on a word, I can say it in English
And specialises in horses
Sorry back to what post is about
Well I knew Hemir wasn't right, last time i rode him he wouldn't trot. So we went to the vets on Saturday to ask when the vet could come and see him, asses him and see what needed doing (if anything)...He came out this mornign whilst Mum and Dad were out
So i had to deal with it myself!!
He started by asking me to walk and trot him up - not lame!! But he said he could see that he wasn't happy and that something was obviously wrong. So he started doing some osteopathy (sp) and when he got to his back leg Hemir kicked, not sure what at as unless it REALLY hurt, Hemir wouldn't kick someone
After the vet had had a 1st look he came round and told me what was wrong, lots of things, my poor boy. His right hind quarter was blocked, his spine was out of alinement (one piece had moved and then another, creating a zig-zag effect, what he said to me!), his neck was quite stiff too. Can't really explain what it was like, he just wouldn't turn his head withour moving
So the vet has sorted all of this out, except one thing. He unblocked Hemir's neck on the left side, but couldn't quite manage it on the right hand side because Hemir was getting stressed.
The vet also said that this is the reason his head carriage is so high, why i've had trouble to get him to work from behind and why i haven't been able to muscle him up this year.
He really likes Hemir, said he is a lovely natured horse, and he can see that Hemir loves me and would do anything for me
Hemir was such a good boy and he was very pleased with how calm he was with everything...SO i'm a very proud and very pleased mummy
Sorry about long post, I have been worriying about H for a few days, wondering what the vet will say..etc, and now i've relieved that he's going to be ok and that i can start riding again
thankyou and cookies if you got this far

ps: Hemir has taken a liking to cheese balls......
pss: Vet said i can't jump him for a little while though. And that if he is ok, but not 100% he will need to come back and do another session.
