I acknowledge that everyone is facing similar challenges. Literally, the consistent rainfall has resulted in saturated and slippery ground, with inadequate drainage for the excess water. Our equine companions are exhibiting signs of distress and depression due to discomfort caused by various factors. These include poor sleep quality, soft and waterlogged feet, rain scald, and skin irritation, as seen in my grey horse, SHAM. Additionally, some horses are experiencing pulled muscles from slipping or attempting to rise from a lying down or rolling position. We must also consider the potential misalignment of their backs and necks. To alleviate their suffering, I employ fascial release techniques to relax and restore functionality to their connective tissues, while also balancing their nervous systems. This approach helps mitigate emotional stress and anxiety. Body work, pressure trigger point techniques, fascia release, and chiropractic care are all beneficial interventions.
