More untwangling....

Well, Dino didn’t seem quite right still after his last session with David and then for no reason we could really establish got worse. Not sure if he’s fallen in the field or something but he’s not been good. So I sent some video to David yesterday and David came out to see him today.

Here’s the vid:

Watch on YouTube

He’s extremely jammed up all through that left hip, pelvis and lower spine. There was very little movement and Dino clearly found having it manipulated uncomfortable and sore. I’m supposed to be ride for 45 mins a day in walk and trot, 60% right rein and some haunches-in on the right to try and get it moving and stretch that left lumbar spine. No lunging, or small circles.

I have a massage booked for him next Wednesday as the muscles are also very stiff and could do with some easing up. Going to be a challenge finding things to keep him moving enough that are also fun and don’t make him too sore or stressed!

Poor pony. He did at least get some of the long grass to nom on today:

David will be back out in December. Hopefully things will have improved a bit by then at least.
