Final treatment day for Ivy. Mesotherapy has really made a HUGE difference in her lower back pain. Just had the saddle fitter pick up the saddle and I should be ready to go. This week will be the real treat ( riding bareback). Not that I mind but w/ a horse that hasn't been ridden in a month you never know what they might do. I am much more aware about back soreness now. I still think her issues are conformational, but I'm sure 30 days of training in a saddle that wasn't hers didn't help. The saddle fitter was having a fit and told me to call the trainer up and complain. He has a point, no horse should come back w/ that much pain. I just assumed that she was working hard and that was the result. A horse working hard correctly should not be in that much pain. It seemed that all the horses he checked that day were back sore to some degree. I know most of the saddles needed to be adjusted too. We are moving forward to the new show season and a bit of jumping for fun. She is still for sale, but not pushing it due to winter being here.
