Is your horse not well?

Well its been a couple of busy weeks, spent a week in the Wellington and Manawatu area, looking at a mixture of sport horses/race horses, not well horses and maintenance checks.

Then home for a few days, and off to the Waikato for some racehorses, Auckland for some follow ups and back to the Waikato again. Phew, my poor wee car!

Saw some the usuual mixture of things that the owners had no real idea were there, and already had some very positive feedback on things that were found. It highlights again, how brilliant this tool is for maintenance. We cant always know whats going on with our horses, and often mistake their sudden lack of enthusiasim for disobedience or a numer of other things, and often there is a physical reason. The more I see the more clear it is that our horses just give and give and give, and by the time they say ENOUGH, they really have reason too. I listen to my horses a lot more now.

This is an interesting picture of a horse with a virus, best swollen glands I have seen!

Also this week I did a folow up on a horse I have seen 3 times now, and he went from being a bit of a sore wee camper, and with the help of the camera to identify the areas and a qualified therpist to work on the areas, he is looking pretty good now, and has progressed from a couple months of just walking work, to back into work.
