I've never needed to do Levi's hocks, so obviously I dont. And he doesnt need a massage, so he doesnt get that, but massages for horses are great! I've seen people do it, and they melt.
Why does he need all the injections and accupuncture? BTW, I love the pic fro the show with you norman and your mom(?)

I've never had a horse that needed their hocks injected, but know plenty of horses that do. Moby gets a massage whenever the massage lady comes out to the BOs horse, and I've had acupuncture done on past horses..I'm terrified of needles so I really didnt like holding my horse while they were being poked into him...needless to say, he doesnt get acupuncture anymore =DD

Ive always heard not to start hock injections unless it is absolutly necessary because its not something you can just stop. But I dont know anything else about it, sorry  but I know chiropractors work wonders, we had a horse who came to our barn and had been trained in an illfitting saddle and would completly suck back if you ran you finger along her spine, it was HORRIBLE and after a few adjustments she was 90% improved and she is now fine 6 months later.... |
