What did we do before the invention of "back people"?

[tallyho!]

No I havent, but same as I dont go myself to the doctor/physio/chiro if nothing is wrong then why would I pay good money to have someone come out to a horse if nothing is wrong?

Forgive me if I've missed something MizElz & Lexie.

If you don't need one then don't worry about it - why are you getting so wound up?

A while back I read pat Smythe autobiography. From fuzzy memory, in the early years with Stroller she had a real problem with him being stiff on one side, and one day decided to tie his head to his tail on that side, bending him round. It worked lol, and thereafter he was a flexible rubber ball -still lol................

Pat Smythe didn't ride Stroller - Marion Mould (nee Coakes) did. Pat Smythe rode in the 50's and Stroller was around in the late 60's and early 70's.(Showing my age now!)

I do think there are many things which we didn't do in the past that I now query but I do believe in having a back person out but would only go on personal recommendation as I think there are some "quacks" about.

That, too, could be a whole new thread...
