I went out to help my horse do these stretches the chiropractor said he needed after his adjustment. The thing that really touches my heart about my horses is how hard they try to do what is asked, even when it is unpleasant. The chiropractor warned me not give him pain killers because he is so young, quick and athletic that if the pain does not limit him, he will over-exert and hurt himself more. My poor baby was so sore when I went to try to help him stretch that it was hard to make myself do it. My H helped and gave my baby treats while I did the stretches with him. Anyway, the horse really cooperated once we got started and was leaning into the stretches.
It was nice of my H to help after I melted down this morning. Had this weird alternating weeping, hysterical laughing thing going on. Oh, he probably helped because he was AFRAID, huh? LOL.
