Some great feedback on horse treatments from Trish after Imbil course
September 15, 2008
Hi Kath & Steve,
Sorry I haven’t contacted you sooner…. life’s a little manic at present!
I have done a few practice “patients” apart from my own horses who have responded very well especially the quarter horse “Mudcrab” although I can’t help feeling there is something a bit bigger there than I can deal with????
My friend down the road has a an exracehorse that was nearly starved to death during the drought. She has rehabilitated him quite sucessfully although he was very rough to ride and didn’t quite finish fleshing out. When I assessed him (with my very limited skill level) it was obvious he has a problem with the offside hip… so much so that he was virtually stepping into the nearside front footprint with the offside foot when he walked.
I did a course of treatments as you suggested and there was a noticeable improvement especially after the first and second treatments! He is now a lot more comfortable to ride - Barb can actually rise to BOTH legs now and he stepping much straighter with his leg.
He has also filled out considerably…. not sure if they have changed his diet significantly.
Another change we have noticed is that Sonny can now lift his tail to poo rather than just put it to one side.
He really enjoyed the treatment… when I arrived the second time he actually stepped his hip toward me and rested his leg…had a hard time getting to stand on it. Much yawning, farting and head dropping.
Have been keeping my hand in on my horses and also my mum’s old dog who had trouble getting up after a big day of running around. She seemed to be able to get up more easily after 2 treatments.
Thanks for a great introduction into what is obviously a very effective treatment! Looking forward to taking it further….
Thanks
Trish
