Me either. He's my favorite Dark colour & I have a particular Love for horses that nobody else seems to want..... Yet I always seem to get them to trust me.....

Often sitting up against a tree in a big open field where the horse(s) are grazing, with a book to read or my Journal to write in. Patience is Essential when working with horses like Pete !!

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I’m a retired RN who can’t stop worrying about you. I hope you’re giving yourself the same care you give your horses. I hope you see a back specialist who can diagnose and treat the problem. I swear by physical therapy. I have IT band issues that will never be “cured” but I do have a bunch of things I can do without resorting to pain meds that make me throw up. Naproxen or Tylenol in moderation and always with food can help. A big naproxen is what I call a special treat. Heat is great, but it has to be done right. A cold pack can reduce pain. Your back brace is only there to remind you to be careful. Voltaren is nice. I like the roll-on topicals. My mom used a soft spatula to put Bengay on her back. My dad treated his chronic back pain with brandy and beer. He would periodically see his “bone crusher” (chropractor). Point is, there are a lot of treatments. Don’t see treatment as weakness. Do for yourself what you would do for your horses: anything and everything. I can’t help caring. 💜💜💜 I won’t nag again. I’ve said my piece. 🥰

[@artemisXsidecross]

I would agree good physical therapy and therapist is the best way and stay away from meds that were not listed in your comment. Strong pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds are easy to start and hard to stop and were of little help. The hardest part of chronic back injury is what to decide to do which is best for each of us. 💚

[@jaanstephenswhite572]

Well I eill take over where you left off I have a very skender frame oresently very well hidden. Thst being said I too have demanded much from back and and I am paying fof it now Soooo Pretty please. Find a hot tub to relax out those muscles. Swimming and a sitting bicycicle just to reset equal movement on both sides. Then a very large cold pack on your back. Turmeric keeps inflammation down 👍🏻😉💪🏼💕 It will improve your future And the longevitybof your back No feet no horse No back no CC With boatloads of love Actually topical CBD works as well in a cumulative time frame

[@andreabell9194]

Yes, exactly! As someone who’s suffered through (and healed) two back injuries, I am also really concerned about CC. I know she’s really tough, but….there’s nothing like a back injury to bring us to a complete stop. I’m worried she’s just “gutting through it”, especially now that (as far as we know) her whole livelihood is horses and KZbin. But she’s so young, compared to me at least. There should be so much professional horseperson life ahead of her. But that’s potentially not going to happen if the back breaks down over time. My hope-which of course, she can feel completely free to discard-is that she get some proper diagnosis, some PT AND some help with all of the physical labor that’s so demanding.

When you were trimming his feet he was holding his head very high. In the round pen he was really lowering his head. So I guess we can say he’s way more comfortable moving around the round pen.

Dang it girl. You Gotta take care of yourself or you can’t take care of your horses. You do amazing things for horses and are helping educate the world. I changed my diet, 16 years ago changed my life. My spine is still covered in inoperable bone spurs but I don’t take meds just eat fresh homemade foods and have no pain, unless I falter from my diet. Anti-inflammatory diet is the only way to go. Steroids will destroy your body, it’s just a bandaid and then all the sudden you “need” spinal surgery and you aren’t riding anymore. I’m also a massage therapist for 16 years so aside from my personally journey, I see the affects of steroids everyday at work. I have 5 horses, 6 dogs on 1 acre. Do everything you do with my horses alone as well. From one horse woman to the next it’s time to make some changes for yourself.❤from the desert
