"I had planned on breeding and had chosen the stallion when I went to visit a friend. We were talking about young horses and she mentioned that she had just purchased two young dressage prospects to bring along for resale. She said one was big and…"

"Thanks, Jan! I knew about Heather Samson but I wasn't aware that she could work with someone via e-mail! I live in Toronto and was so disappointed when I realized that she is in Ottawa. I will definitely contact her. Thanks, again!"

Valerie Tate replied to Barnmice Admin's discussion What are your fitness challenges and what types of injuries have you had?
"Hi, I have a lot of problems in my lower back (below the waist)/ hip area. My SI joint is part of it but mainly it is the muscles. A lot of the problems started because my older horse has quite a wide back and I am only 5 feet tall. I have tried…"

Hi, Valerie!

I read your post about injuries and riding issues. I am 52, an equine industry professional, and I was having so much difficulty with my back (specifically my SI joint) last year that I thought I would have to give up dressage and live on anti-inflammatories. I turned to Heather Sansom, of EquiFitt, and she gave me a series of exercises and stretches (all done by e-mail and over the phone) which have completely resolved my problems. I also am very short (5'2") and I ride big horses, all WB's, most of them 16.2 and over. I also broke my back in my late teens, and have scoliosis, ;which exacerbated everything else. Heather's exercises/stretches are not at all what I would have thought I needed, but she was very definitely correct, and I am riding without pain again! You can contact Heather via this site - she has a very helpful blog.

Hey Val,
How ya doin'? I just joined Barnmice. It's a great site. I have already met another member. I talked to her about finding a pony for Emma and she suggested I post a discussion on forum so let's hope someone out there who has an out-grown pony finds me.
