Gotta love what good food, ulcer medication, real turnout, a looooong chiropractic appointment and a Back On Track blanket can do. Remy is looking, feeling, and acting significantly better. He's always a willing horse, but it's great when he can really act on my demands. We still have a good 100-150 lbs until I'm really satisfied and comfortable riding him more than once a week, but he's feeling GREAT.
The story is I sent him out to a trainer in July . . . and got him back 250 lbs or more underweight in September. She was feeding him, but he had bleeding ulcers and just really couldn't handle the sudden workload and refused his hay. He also didn't really have room to move around in the pipe corral he was in, so just got STIFF. The chiropractor came out two weeks ago and spent over an hour, split into two sessions, on Remy. The BOT turnout blanket was recommended to extend the usefulness of the adjustment, and I love it.
Still needs WAY more muscle and weight, but he's getting there.
