Good for back

[glenatron]

I went to the chiropractor today. Judging by how much manipulation she had to do I think my skeleton must have been back to front. One of the nice things about our chiro is that she also runs a stud specialising in Dales ponies. It being the time of year it is there are some little ones around too and her daughter ( who also helps out with the back repairs ) offered me some introductions.

Happily I had my camera with me, although I only got decent pictures of two of the three foals I met as the third one was busy having a drink and then eating mum's poo so he wasn't being ever so photogenic.


Phantom is small and inquisitive and wants to play bitey games with everyone.


Trying to work out why mum is so interested in this green stuff by numbling on a sorrel leaf. His mum is going to the Royal Windsor Show next weekend- as you can see they've started the grooming already.


Fred is not a Dales, his mum is Thoroughbred/Irish Daft cross his dad is a Holsteiner- he looks like he's got a lot of dad's warmblood looks about him.


Fred was bravest of the foals and came over to say hello and be whiskery and inquisitive at me. Very cute indeed.


My parents have gone away for a couple of weeks so we are looking after their house and their puppy ( technically she's more of a young dog by this point ) for them. We were supposed to be off at Badminton now but it's looking increasingly unlikely we'll get there at all - sleepsy_mouse is pretty ill tonight and I don't think she'll be up to very much this weekend.

what cuties - all knees and ears...

G - Apollo sent SleepyMouse some long distance Reiki 8:10 p.m. Central Standard US time. Don't know if it will help but our best wishes to her recovery.

That last picture is amazing. What a good photographer you are. I hope sleepymouse is on the mend soon. Take care of her.

Is Sleepsy still sick from post surgery? I hope she's better soon!

We couldn't work out if it was the post-surgery thing or she was just independantly ill and the outcome was ill squared, but she was very rough.

Amazingly she was right as rain this morning :)

Well something certainly helped as she was fit enough to go to Badminton today and do some serious horsey shopping. It was a really big deal for her and I'm very happy it worked out.

Thank you, and I am doing everything I can to take good care of her.

Glad she's feeling better!

Hm great! I'm glad she was able to have some fun and you too until your next job starts. I'll have Apollo send some more energy tonight; no promises but he did say the energy was going somewhere. I had him look at her journal photos of her playing with Small as a reference.

Hope sleepsy_mouse is feeling better by now. Appendixes out=no fun. I do hope puppy sitting is entertaining, and that everyone's health is on the mend...

Hey G - Apollo did more Reiki for SleepyMouse last night around 10 p.m. (CST), and then this a.m. 9:15 (CST). He said she didn't draw as much energy this morning so hopefully that means she is feeling a lot better and didn't need it.

Have fun puppy sitting! and hope you two get some time to relax and do something for yourselves.
