Just one treatment from the chiropractor? I am calling to get an
appointment for my boy today. Kim Henneman is the one I will use. She was the
first in this area and I used her years ago for my first Arab that died due to
an impacted enterolithe. My boy is resting one hind or the other all of the time
now. My regular vet told me it was probably his sacroiliac. Sure hope it only
takes one treatment. I need to find more work. Between the daughters 4-H, Pony
Club and the cost of fuel, I am slowly going under. Beccy in Ut.

I had a horse that just could not trot. He was a horse we had bred and
raised. He went to a trainer for about a year for western pleasure training.
When he came home, I started trail riding him and he had the slowest pokey
walk I had ever ridden. He was only about 4 yrs. old and he had no forward
energy. But that changed when we started up a hill. He would bolt and start
bucking until we got to the top. Sometimes, out of nowehere, he would bolt and
runaway. I thought he just needed an attitude readjustment.
I started taking dressage lessons on him and my instructor could not
figure out why he just could not seem to trot. He wasn't using his rear end at
all.
So I had her chiropractor come out and she said he had a sacroiliac
problem. She adjusted him and then had me do deep massaging of his hind
quarters using a hand held massager about twice a day... 5 to 10 minutes per
side.
He stopped bolting and bucking going up hills but it still took him a
while before he actually started using his rear end with a forward trot.
