What's the Cause ? ...Continued ..continued
The Equine chiropractor was out again this last Saturday and confirms that the bucking may be related to Thistle’s heat cycle. She says that Thistle may be tightening up over her ovaries with each cycle causing pressure to her back. The chiropractor then showed us what we can do to help relieve the pressure, sort-of like a hemlick to the rear gut area. To me it looks like it would cause more problems than it would fix but Thistle seemed ok with the maneuver.
