Wanted to follow up and see how rehab is going ? Is neurectomy/fasciotomy an option for her ?

Love this! Making yourself vunerable by showing this showes courage and confidence. Awesome❤ Dont have a mechanical horse nearby, but found out that Alexandrer method and Feldenkrais is suppose to help with body-awarness. Holey Cow! I did NOT realized how my body was habitually " mis-alined"🙈😂😂 Changing my "off" habits during regular life has certainly made a difference in awarness what my body ( and its individual parrts) are doing while i ride my Ever Fogiving lil mare.

You have been riding a lame horse, unknowingly which isn't ususual or necessarily your fault. The video you previously did on Pssm 2 was total misinformation though. You used an unverified test and the horse should have had a proper lameness work up instead. As you are someone with a platform, your previous video is highly irresponsible. This test is a welfare issue as many horses will test "positive" but it is a total red herring.

@@emilyemilyemilyemilyemilyemil At the time when I posted about pssm it would not have been possible to take Blondie to the vets as she was too volatile to handle and wouldn’t have been able to have a fair lameness work up as her Adrenalin would have been too high. I appreciate social media is hard as I can’t possibly publish everything that takes place. My own vet was keen to hear about the genetic test that we did so I believe it is closer to being more respected. I don’t know how it could be deemed a welfare issue as for me it was simply a way I could help Blondie more through balancing how I feed her and understanding her whole body. Thanks to this test and the changes I made she was more regulated and able to have a lameness work up. I do feel I wish I had taken her sooner to the vets looking back but I didn’t push her and I’m just thankful I was able to take her and have the day that we had as she was ok ish to handle and she didn’t hurt anyone at the vet practice. My video isn’t irresponsible I’m learning like anyone else… so maybe be a bit kinder in the internet next time.

I appreciate you sharing your journey so much! I found you during the pandemic and we had a TB we had just bought who was labeled as “difficult”. We followed your groundwork and made so much progress but was still very unpredictable. He never had a lame step but we did a lameness eval and found a neurological problem. He is happily retired in the pasture. Before I found you I would have pushed on. Because of that experience we have noticed issues sooner (or at least asked questions sooner) with many other horses. Thank you for sharing your process

Very interesting video, and so refreshing to see someone looking so thoroughly and holistically at their horses welfare. It's rare. Natural Medicine Products (based in Devon) do bulk herbs if you are going down that route and feel like the ready made branded ones aren't focused enough. They're horsey people too and have lots of experience with supplements for balancing hormones etc too. Best of luck x

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing Miriam. I also have a ‘tricky’ mare and have stopped riding and am now doing full investigations, bodywork, supplements etc to address her reactivity and reluctance for work. It’s a journey that’s all about listening to what our horses are trying to tell us, learning about horsemanship and putting our own needs second to our horses wellbeing. Unfortunately it’s not something that everyone understands or supports. Would love a progress report.

I hope you're able to address the PSD with rehab. My horse ended up having suspensory surgery on both hind legs (they won't operate on one leg without the other). I had a new horse after he was cleared to start light work again. He was never able to go on the bit until after that surgery. Like you, I realized my poor guy was in pain most of his life. He has been mine since birth, so I know his history. He was 10 when he had the surgery. He's still doing well. I don't ask much of him because I want the relief from the surgery to last. If you want to learn more, let me know. How old is Blondie?

Wow, so interesting, Meri. Blondie is so lucky to have you working these things out for her. I must say, she looks so much more relaxed and comfortable within herself than I've ever seen her in any other videos -- so clearly much of the work you're doing for her is definitely on the right track. I know you feel lucky to have Blondie too :) what an incredible learning journey she's taking you on. No worries on intermittent YT -- I'd watch one of your videos anytime, months apart is fine for me -- this sort of thing takes so much time to learn and implement before you could possibly articulate it. So glad to hear your vet appt went so well and that Blondie is open to having others help her too -- its all progress, whole body style, right. And, Ralph is the cutest dog ever and his little smooch with Blondie was the sweetest.
