Merrylegs Equine Therapy Case Study - "Ladybug" 10 yr old Paint Mare

Ladybug is a 10 yr old Paint Mare 15.3 HH.  She is primarily used for 

trail riding and on the odd occasion, hunting and packing.

Ladybug normally stands with her hind legs set behind her body (camped behind).  She is a very long horse and after the initial assessment I found that she had some soreness in the hindquarters and some issues in her back (longissimus dorsi).  I like these couple of  photos because they show how much this horse is leaning into the treatment.

I was laughing in this photo because after a few minutes of leaning into the treatment, then Ladybug relaxed her leg completely and let out a huge sigh.

Working on the offside, the same issues were found.  I spent most of this session just working on the back and hind quarters.  Since Ladybug is my horse I will be working with her on a continuing basis and will be updating her progress periodically on this blog - check back soon!
