When you add $22 to your order so you get free shipping bc you don't want to pay $9 for shipping. Logic

Lmao my guy was originally priced at $2,500, and I negotiated down to $1,700. Who doesn't want to save money if possible?? In my book there is always room to at least TRY TO negotiate. Like someone else said, just bc someone is trying to get a price lowered doesn't mean the horse is going to a bad home/someone that can't necessarily afford the horse. All of my trainer's horses were either free or bought for under $1,000.

The initial purchase is the cheapest part of owning a horse.

THE INITIAL PURCHASE IS THE CHEAPEST PART OF OWNING A HORSE.

Just because you can afford the horses sale price doesn’t mean you can afford the horse.

Smh people

I got my gelding adjusted by my vet who is also a chiropractor twice before getting him a massage. It seemed to really help him. We were having problems with him bucking at the canter and after the adjustments and massage he was a different horse. I don't think order matters too much tbh from what I've seen/read. Everyone honestly has their own opinion about it. All I know is chiro works well when combined with massage. I can't say anything about acupuncture as I have never tried it.

As far as learning to massage Loki yourself I would be careful. Not that you can't take classes and learn, but from what I learned watching my massage therapist work on my horse and talking with her, there is a lot to consider and work on right down to the little fibers of the muscles. It's the slightest of movements that can make a big difference to the horse.

My massage therapist in my area happens to also be Elisa Wallace's therapist as well since I live close to her barn in Georgia. She is the same therapist Elisa took to Rolex with her to work on her top horse Johnny and who regularly works on all her other horses including the mustangs if you follow anything eventing. So I was super confident with her working on my gelding since she is really knowledgeable/experienced.

It's all a matter, like others have said, about finding good people who are well versed in what they are practicing.

equine chiropractic..

QUESTION.

I’m getting Loki into a more regular chiro/acupuncture/massage program. His uphill structure makes him an ideal candidate for back soreness. I hear that chiropractic work is better if done with relaxed muscles.  So, i assume i should get the massage therapy/acupuncture done before the chiro? I’ve tried the massage therapy, i find it give mediocre results.  I’ve always wanted to try the acupuncture, i hear great things, but i’ve never gotten around to it. So, should I do acupuncture, massage therapy, or both? would that be overkill?

My TB gelding literally did the same thing with the board I mean. I was boarding at a really nice farm and the barn wasn't constructed very with horse strength in mind, just to look fancy. The barn owner used aussie tie rings so basically getting stuck in the crossties or breaking them was almost not possible if they are used correctly. They are also called the blocker tie rings. That is until some really dumb boarders, who had an older horse that figured out he could pull out of them, tied the long leadropes in knots making it impossible to have the crossties break.

Keep in mind my horse WAS wearing a leather halter. He had never done this before but something snapped and he backed up too far. As soon as he backed up the board ripped on the wall on one side like nothing, but the other didn't. My horse barely put much strength into pulling it off, but my dad saw later the nails holding the already thin board were way to short to hold it to the wall under minimal pressure. So my horse was still stuck to the crossties on one side. Happened to be the washrack was right next to the end of the barn so my gelding ran in and out of the barn around the wall while being tied on one side and dragging a giant board with nails sticking out on the other, whipping it around the aisle and making in impossible for me to get near him without getting whacked by it.

It was horrible and I had to wait until he finally stopped and stood still which he eventually did. Luckily he wasn't hurt at all and escaped all injuries that could have happened. Ever since then he's been funny about tying in general. I have since taught him to ground tie when I groom him and if I crosstie him I only use the aussie ties and now have a nylon breakway halter which breaks much easier than leather. If I must single tie, usually to the trailer, I make sure I use hay string in case he does freak out.

People who choose to tie their horses without any form of breakaway anything (ie: leather/breakaway halter, twine, etc) make me furious.
