As most of you know, Darko has quite severe (according to the x-rays) Kissing Spine. He was non symptomatic, if it weren’t for the X-rays we’d not even know he had the condition. Our fabulous vet advised against surgery, instead opting for a strengthening rehab plan.
Over the past year, with the support of Lucy Williams BHSI Equestrian, Rivalé Equine and Lizzy Ritchie Equine Coaching, we have been working on rehab and strengthening him to be able to continue on his ridden journey.
After a ‘bucket list’ weekend with the utterly incredible Manolo Mendez, Lizzy and I have been building on Manolo’s feedback and coaching to further help Mr Darko. It’s been a journey indeed, but well worth it with so many lessons learned and many many positives. See Lizzy video ❤️
Thanks to Roseworthy vets for the advice not to undertake surgery, and all those involved in the big fellas journey thus far, it certainly does take a village 🙏❤️😘
Lizzy will be back in Renmark for her next clinic shortly. If you would like to work on everything about all of this ⬇️⬆️, Lizzy is the coach for you. PM us for more details or to book.
