Hi Anne, The conference in May is only a small affair, just for coaches really . I thought it might be a way to introduce your credetials . It may be best to do a video link up for that one ? I think the wellness , four f's might strike a cord. Then we can build on that and perhaps get you out here for the Australian International Horse Trials in November . The conference in May is organized by the ESA branch, their web site is www.sa.equestrain.org.au email- reception@efasa.com.au . Angela Yeend is the CEO.

Oh also you can use a good liniment like Absorbine, on the arthritic joint, or something that contains menthol, camphor and eucalyptus which help with inflammation and pain too. Arnica gel works also, again look online for natural arthritis remedies to try, if you can find liniment with comfrey in it, that is awesome too, good luck. Ann.

Yea i couldnt believe it either. Its really sad because he just absolutley loves his work and gets bored so easily. im not sure if we have slippery elm here as i have never seen it anywhere but i feed him rice bran oil would that help?
Thanks for your help.

We had x-rays done six months ago and some a few weeks and 3 or vets said that he definetley has Athritis and his x-rays have changed how th normally would in two years in six months. His fetlock is very swolen and he wont really stand on it. At the moment i really just want him out of pain i dont mind if i cant ride him i just dont like seeing him in pain. He is now getting Bone and Joint Supplement MSM and Glucosamine, Devils claw, and White willow. plus i got him one of those back on track boots and that seems to be helping him quite a bit.
We also had a chiropractor out to see him and she said his shoulder was out and she put it back in but his leg is so sore it hasent changed anything.
Im in New Zealand not Australia so wouldnt be going to the thing in australia maybe you can pop over here on your way there or back?

Hi Pam, I'm impressed with your web site. Maybe we can do something with the Equestrian South Australia conference in May? Possibly doing some clinics around that . Shoot us a email and we can have a yarn about it. Cheers Geoffrey

Hi Ann,
I just ran across your page here, and must say I am very happy to see what you have been doing with equine rehab. Basically, you are doing what I hope to be doing in the future.
Its too bad I am so far away (in Ontario), otherwise I would love to go to your clinics.
Keep up the great equine rehab work! There really needs to be more facilities like yours!
Nikki

Hello there, No I did not see her ride on Orion, I was wondering how he was doing, thanks for the info, is there any video to be seen of it? Chees, Ann.

Hi P. Ann,
I visited the link to your site and I also know Leslie, although I am not from out west. She was at our barn with Mark for a while and I used to watch her train (lots of hacking and long walks mixed into the schooling) I once even got to take Mark out on a hack! He was a perfect gentleman. Did you see her ride on Orion this past week? Unfortunately, he was very overwhelmed, but she did her best and did have some lovely moments.
