Rico Day 70 #equinecomebackchallenge Rico had his third session with our equine chiropractor, Dr. Jill Esz Smith. She was very pleased with his progress although we are still dealing with the sensitivity and weakness on the left side, which is quite obvious longeing to the right. Once again, it takes the time it takes. We are going to change how we create awareness on the left hind. Instead of using tape on the leg, Ill be punching holes in a friends old spur strap that was headed for the garbage and attach some beads or small shells to it. The idea is to change the sensation, thereby creating awareness. In addition, Dr. Jill recommended adding Vitamin B1 to Ricos diet to help his short attention span. We dont know how long he was starved and it may be that not all of any possible neurological damage can be reversed. But, were hoping that this may help him to focus for a bit longer. He checks in and out frequently. :) Today he was also fixated on using the mailbox as a scratching post. I missed getting the funniest part on video. At one point, he had himself wrapped around the post. It was a riot watching him trying to manipulate the post and his body to get the EXACT spot. A Home For Every Horse youtu.be/M2UIuswskkU
