Ok I know everyone has been wondering about Esme...the poor dear. This is the report from the vet yesterday: (I have pasted it from the report) Today your horse had a chiropractic adjustment. A chiropractic adjustment is a low amplitude, high velocity thrust at a specific contact point for a specific joint. It is designed to help the specific joint attain a more normal range of motion. Esme was adjusted on both sides of her pelvis, all of her lumbar vertebrae, her last 3 thoracic vertebrae, her poll, left side of her neck, her right shoulder and both accessory carpals. Esme has the apparance of a knocked down hip on her her right tubar coxae and compestates drastically with her right hind limb. She also has severely sore front limbs. From her stance it would appear that the pain is from her feet. I recommend that she be taken to a shoeing facility such as Jason Rotrammels and have both feet blocked, x-rays taken and then shoed appropriately. By temporarily blocking her feet she will be comfortable during the x-rays and shoein So the poor dear has been road hard, and was then thrown away at the auction. We will next be setting up an appointment with the vet and the special farrier to get her on her road to recovery. Coordinating them together may be difficult with fitting in my schedule as well, but we will work on it asap She is already feeling better, she trotted to me last night when I came home from work. It is going to take awhile but we will begin the long process of helping her
