Equine massage therapy and vertebral realignment services, including reiki and kinesiology taping With Equine Massage Therapy I have found such a way.
I whispered to the horse: trust no man in whose eye you don't see yourself reflected as an equal." - Don Vincenzo Giobbe (circa 1700)
I have been seriously involved with horses for over 40 years and an avid endurance rider for over 25. As such, it has become apparent that the aches and pains I encounter as a rider are likely also felt by my horses. I have constantly been looking for techniques to improve my horse's health, strength, mobility, and endurance without resorting to excessively expensive and potentially harmful pharmaceuticals. We often forget that our horses are athletes. As with human athletes, our equine friends perform more efficiently when they are well-balanced; contributing to enhanced strength, speed, and agility without increased joint arthritis and physical breakdown. Regardless of whether your horse is a competitive athlete or a backyard companion, massage therapy will increase their quality of life.
I currently have 13 horses confirmed for my trip to Gaspesie and Caraquet area. This would make mileage costs around $75 each horse which is actually more than a bodywork charge. So, knowing this, are folks still interested?
Planning my next trip Northeast. Who is interested in have bodywork done on their horse? I currently have Audree Daigle, Christine Boulay, Manjula Karunaratne , Marsha Thomas .. Please pm if you are interested and times available. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Is this a defect in the joint cartilage in a 10 month old c**t.
This was found during a whole horse dissection completed by Lindsey Field and Dr. Ivana Ruddock- Lange last week.
This is the articular surface of the humerus at the elbow (humeroradioulnar joint) from a 10-month-old c**t vet diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) on X-ray.
The circled area shows a distinct, deep area in the articular cartilage.
Dr. Sharon May-Davis has reported that this type of lesion is not seen in unridden, undriven horses, making it a particularly interesting finding in such a young c**t.
Could this” lesion” be related to the OCD?
OCD is a developmental orthopaedic disease in which cartilage fails to develop and mature normally into bone through the normal process of endochondral ossification. The exact cause remains unknown, although genetics, nutrition, growth rate, biomechanics and trauma have all been proposed as contributing factors.
At this stage, I don’t know whether this cartilage defect is part of the OCD process or an unrelated finding—but it certainly raises interesting questions.
I’d be very interested to hear from veterinary surgeons, pathologists and researchers who have seen similar lesions
What a great trip through Northeastern New Brunswick and Gaspesie. Huge thank you to all my clients and especially to my hosts.
I love all the horses.
What a great job!
