I am able to fit in a class sometime most mornings, I really like it. The variety and shorter classes keep in interested.

I have no idea how I managed to suddenly tweak it - I'm just getting old, I guess!

I've been doing some stretch classes in an online app everyday and it has really helped with my mobility (in my ankle and all over) which should also help prevent future tweaks. For reals, it would be way worse to have to stay out of the saddle for 2 months cuz you did something serious than to take the week-ish to let it heal now.Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624374504547832814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-39141468611061659652021-03-24T07:24:48.178-07:002021-03-24T07:24:48.178-07:00lol yea these types of treatments definitely take ...lol yea these types of treatments definitely take second fiddle to stuff like crazy complicated shoes haha. for real, tho, everyone i know who has personally tried acupuncture swears by it. i honestly do believe charlie benefits from it too, tho who really knows right**?, but the fact that he enjoys it so much is 100% reason enough for me!<br /><br />(**i am convinced there's a direct correlation between charlie receiving acupuncture and then feeling his absolute most forward self. this is based in large part on that time he RAN THE F AWAY WITH ME last summer at a horse show {v inconvenient timing} just a week or two after being treated lol....)emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-58386660265356448452021-03-24T07:11:04.219-07:002021-03-24T07:11:04.219-07:00The pictures of him getting worked on are so cute!...The pictures of him getting worked on are so cute! He looks like he adores the attention all the time, even more reason to treat him in all the ways. <br /><br />I was amazed at the difference acupuncture made for my mare after her accident. She also had chiro before her accident - I wasn't convinced that made a huge difference for her. Yoshi will probably get some of both at some point, but the current expenses of x-rays, shoes, etc are enough to make me cry a bit, so we'll wait till those are a bit less... regular of expenses.

I don't know if it would help your ankle but I recommend it. <br />This week the horses have the vet visit for their annual check up/vaccines and teeth. I'd love to try acupuncture on Irish and Carmen to see if it helps.

And yea this is actually #anklegate part 3, ugh. I broke it back in 2015, but had a nasty roll this past October. That was better in about two weeks tho. This roll was a little worse (dropping from the height of my horse with my full body weight coming down on the roll) and we are at 4.5wks with still some acute injury. It’s getting better with stretches tho, so we will see.

Even since the Isabel days she’s always prodded me to do more and better dressage work. How that gets done doesn’t really matter tho - on the trails, in a ring, wherever - what needs to happen is for Charlie to not trot around like a golden retriever in a doggie wheelchair. He needs to actually USE his hind end to carry more weight and build up his back strength... emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-26639121319610632762021-03-24T06:33:02.720-07:002021-03-24T06:33:02.720-07:00Lol Charlie is like drunk on the scent of grass rn...Lol Charlie is like drunk on the scent of grass rn (even tho there’s still barely any above ground) he’d eat anything!

You gotta get that checked out. I know American healthcare is a nightmare, but, worst case scenario, you take the dine & dash approach.<br /><br />Not sure if you spoke to your chiro about the last trail ride you and Chuck had, but I wonder if doing that more often might benefit his back?? Seems like a low pressure, fun way to get him working "correctly." I really do like the idea of either chiro or massage regularly for horses. It makes it clear as day where the weaknesses are, and you can track progress. Pretty much everyone at my barn has received their injections by this point, but I might shell out to get one of the cows a good massage session.T. A.
