The chiropractor came out today. On the side that Lucas has been the worst on (rushes though doorways) he had 6 ribs out of place. He had 2 on the other side as well. They were most swollen where my leg would be when I was riding him. He commented that he was amazed that Lucas was letting me ride him. He thought that the pressure of my legs must be really bothering him but he was a trooper for putting up with it.
Hes done work on Lucas before, and though that he looked the best than he's seen him look in years. That he was carrying enough weight had put some muscell tone he thought I was doing all the right stuff with him. He sujested some streaches to do to improve the musclle tone along his back but thought that it would improve in time.
He also said that my saddle fit!! the rigging rings had a bit of a twist to them (which were also pressing onto one of the ribs!) but he thinks we can get that strightened out. He of course liked my friends Wanger better, but thats ok I'll buy one eventuly but Im glad I just dont have to buy one right away. Liked the fit of the english saddle, loved the olgovy half pad (bonus points) and though that he should be ok being ridden in any of the 3.
