The ground change recently from frozen ground to mud has created the perfect condition/environment for hoof abscesses. Just in first two weeks of February, I have already been contacted about three different cases. Interestingly, all three abscessed at the heel bulbs. I don't have an explanation for why all three were located in the same area, but be sure to check the whole hoof (sole, around the frog, around the coronary band, and at the heel bulbs) when cleaning out hooves.

What is included in an equine adjustment session?
-A complete chiropractic evaluation of your horse from head to tail.
-An evaluation for muscle soreness
-Equine chiropractic adjustments
-A printed report, including a diagram showing the areas of subluxations and muscle soreness.
-Specific exercises based on your horse's evaluation
-And possibly best of all, you don't have to haul your horse, I come to the horse as long as they are located within my driving radius.

*The diagram shown is from an evaluation of one of my personal horses.

This week's Strides Spotlight goes to Wrooster, a young ranch/cow horse. I love working with this horse. He has the best disposition. Wrooster got a chiropractic session a few weeks back as a thank you for a job well done. A good ranch horse is a true partner. It is important to keep him feeling at his best.

Stay tuned the next few Saturdays as Strides spotlights other amazing horses.

Equine Rehabilitation and Equine Chiropractic are journeys. They are not an instant fix. There will be ups and downs along the way. Slow and steady wins the race. Here are a few tips to help you along the journey.

1. Discuss the goals for your horse with your equine practitioner. This will help you both be on the same page.
2. It is a partnership/team effort. Both the treatment and home care are vital components to the success of your horse's recovery.
3. Surround your horse with a healthcare team (vet, rehabilitation therapist, equine chiropractor, equine nutritionist, farrier)
4. Don't forget about your horse's mental health.
5. Create a healthy environment, one that supports healing, at home for your horse.
6. Seek out exercises that your horse can start while at rest.
7. If you have questions, don't hesitate to discuss them with your horse's health care team.
8. Surround yourself with a support group to encourage you during your horse's journey.

Happy Monday.

Have you gone to catch your horse only to be greeted with this look? Have you considered that your horse may be experiencing a headache? Recently, there has been an increase in articles suggesting that horses may experience headaches. Did you know that chiropractic adjustments can help with this?

Recently I was asked to do a chiropractic evaluation on a horse. The owner's complaint was that the horse refused to be groomed and had a look/attitude that said "Don't Bother Me".

When I arrived, the owner went to halter the horse and the horse went to the back of the stall as soon as the stall door opened. She wasn't even interested in a treat.

I did a chiropractic examination and found her atlas (the first neck vertebrae) to be subluxated. After the adjustment, the horse's demeanor changed. She came to the front of the stall, was inquisitive, readily ate treats, and her eyes were brighter.

I thought an afternoon full updating records and writing evaluation summaries deserves an iced coffee and a chocolate treat. I guess i just bought myself some extra rows on the rowing machine tonight, but coffee and chocolate are always worth it.

How is your saddle's health? Not sure, Strides Equine Rehabilitation LLC offers saddle assessments. The following is a recent example of how saddle health can affect your horse's performance.

I recently evaluated a roping horse for not wanting to slow down to turn a steer. On evaluation, the horse had excellent range of motion in his neck, back, and pelvis. No soreness was detected. The only thing that I saw was mild muscle atrophy over the withers on the left side. I asked the owner if we could saddle the horse. When saddled, we found that the saddle was tighter on the left side under the left bar. It was restricting shoulder movement. When we removed the saddle, we looked at the tree and found that it was slightly twisted from years of roping. From the top, the saddle looked fine. I suggested trying a different saddle pad and saddle to see if the horse's behavior changed. It did! The horse stopped refusing to slow done and turn. The old saddle was putting pressure on the left side, especially when the horse was turning left. The horse was anticipating this, so to avoid the pressure the horse was running straight through instead of turning.

Often performance-based behavior problems in horses have an underlying cause. Thanks to great owners that are willing to investigate the issue, these problems can often be helped if not resolved.

This is Liam, a handsome warmblood. He is what I consider a two bale horse. What do I mean by that? Due to his height (every bit of 17 hands), I had to use two chiropractic bales in order to achieve the best Line of Correction. The Line of Correction takes into account the direction the segment has moved and the angle and direction that I need to achieve in order to restore it to its proper alignment.

It makes my day when I receive exciting news from clients. To God be all the glory.

A client recently won 2nd in the 1D at a barrel race. This was achieved in the same arena where the horse had previously bucked her off resulting in a broken tailbone. This run was only about the 6th run since that happened. I am so excited for both the owner and the horse. Both are back to doing what they love. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.

Chiropractic Care Explained:

A subluxation in the body is like a click pen without a spring, like the pen the body's normal function is interrupted. A subluxation can alter normal nerve, muscle, and joint function. Through the use of chiropractic adjustments, normal biomechanics can be restored just like restoring the spring in a click pen. Both the body and pen can then perform their intended functions.

Feeding geriatric horses can be hard. Trust me, I know!!! This is our 30 year old gelding. Both these pictures were taken in the last week. Is he 100% where I want him, no. I would like more muscling in his hindquarters, but he is really good at talking me out of doing his exercises.

Keeping weight on an older horse with few teeth left in wear can be a struggle. I had to completely redo his diet this winter. If you have an older horse that you would like help with, contact Strides Equine Rehabilitation LLC.
