Probably at some point in our lives most of us – riders or
not – have suffered from backaches, charley horses, sciatica, or even perhaps
more drastically – slipped discs, herniated discs, or pinched vertebral nerves.
You know how painful any of these symptoms can be, and you know how they can be
treated: over-the-counter or stronger drugs and painkillers, massage,
chiropractic adjustments or even surgery.
But what about your horses? Do they suffer from back pain or
injuries that result in symptomatic lameness or other "behavioral
manifestations?" Many recent articles seem to prefer to attribute some of
these consequential behavioral issues to "stubbornness," "resistance,"
or even simply "bad behavior," but the solution is often right before
our eyes without the need for veterinary or chiropractic care.
