This puts it into perspective

Ever wondered how our anatomy compares to a horse’s? 🧐 Check out this colorful schematic of a human foot and a horse’s hind limb! Did you know that our heel is actually the equivalent of the point of the hock in a horse? 🦶➡️🐴

I love seeing them rest during rehab! This mare had hock surgery a little over two weeks ago and hasn’t been comfortable enough to lay down much since then. Seeing this tells me two things. 1.) She’s going to heal more efficiently, and 2.) the treatments are working because we’ve alleviated pain and inflammation so that she can trust her body to get up and down from a laying position. We are well on our way to beating that 9 months to a year predicted healing time!

Great trainers with great programs and great owners are worth their weight in gold ❤️‍🩹 Having a maintenance schedule in place will prevent so much physical set back in training and competition. And your horse is already set up to speed recovery by half if it does sustain an injury.

Working on this mare post hock surgery. On stall rest alone, she could take 9 months to a year to be cleared for riding again, but we will have her rechecked much sooner to see just how much of that time will be shaved off using rehab Acuscope protocols. The Acuscope is an FDA medical instrument, and will facilitate healing the body 𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 50% faster than vet medicine alone. In many cases, we see healing accelerated more than 50% faster, too.

Getting a spa day after he smoked off a run this morning! I’d say he is finally feeling good and ready to go again!

Horseman friends….

Tell me about mecate reins for c**t starting. I really like yacht braid ropes and I think I’ve seen similar in mecates, but my gosh they are either 🌶️ 💰 or actually pretty j***y.

What do I get? I don’t want to go the horse hair route, I’m not seeking ranahan status😂.

I am making my own loping hack because I’m stupid picky about how I want it. I need a decent weighted and flexible mecate that is good quality but will also hold up to hard use without getting nasty brittle or collecting every piece of w**d and burr within 20 feet of it. Doesn’t need to be fancy or have any floofy tassels or anything like that.

Suggestions?

For anyone that’s wondering about starting a BULLYMAKE subscription, I highly recommend you DON’T. The toys are absolute trash and they have a pretty predatory subscription service. I’m not very impressed with their treats, either. But the toys have proven dangerous for our heavy chewer.
