Re: [RC] Re:cramping while shoeing - Jeannie GillenTotally agree with Judy....that's what we do with our horse...and she is fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Houle" <judyshatir@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 9:32 PM Subject: [RC] Re:cramping while shoeing This is a more commom problem than most people think. It sounds to me like this horse has a spasm in his hindquarter muscles, which is made more painful by being in the position required for shoeing. The horse may also need a chiropractic adjustment in the pelvic region. I would try finding a good equine massage therapist first, who could tell you whether an adjustment is also necessary. If the horse does get chiropractic work, it is important to also get a few sessions of massage afterward or the tight muscles will just pull it out of alignment again and you will be back to square one. I am a certified equine bodyworker, and one of my project horses during my certification had this very problem. The owner was buteing or giving banamine to the horse every time it had to be shod until I worked on her and solved the muscle spasm problem. In this case no chiro was needed. Good Luck.
