Saddle fitting for Pete
My lease horse and partner of 5 years, Remi, was sadly retired and I needed to have my saddle fitted to my new lease horse, Pete.
Here is Leanne at Schleese Saddlery measuring up Pete.
Thank you Leanne for getting us both setup for comfort!
And the dance is beautiful. You dance as one.
Thank you Daniel Kehres for letting me be part of yours and Rocky's journey towards Grand Prix!
This is Milo (aka Milo B Stallion). A very good boy who is even more handsome in 'person'!
It is both a joy and a privilege to work with this talented duo and helping them be the best they can be.
Good luck in Bécancour next week Emmanuelle Lord!

Unrecognized Body Lameness in Sport Horses – The Causes and Effects on Training and Performance
Participated in this very interesting 2 day seminar in Trois-Rivières given by Dr Audrey Declue (DeClue Equine), an equine vet who is a pioneer in the development of innovative and effective treatment for shivers-stringhalt syndrome and body lameness. Dr Declue also treats headshaking.
Body lameness is what it sounds like, basically lameness beyond the horse’s feet and legs (i.e. the axial skeleton).
Dr Declue has been working with Dr Gabrielle Martel, a vet from Montreal, sharing her approach and expertise.
One big take-away from the seminar is that Dr Declue breaks the body down into 3 sections, and treats the entire section. In the neck, for example, she will treat all of the cervicals and not just the single problem cervical identified in imaging. The second big take-away is that rehab is in terms of months and not weeks, and there is a very strict protocol of what the horse can and cannot do during this time.
This can be difficult for trainers and owners to accept, but Dr Declue has many happy and returning clients.

How sore feet in horses can cause tension throughout the body.
Bodywork will address the tension in the body, but the tension will return until the primary cause, the issue in the foot, has been resolved.
Releasing tension in the poll and topline is good for all horses and is especially important for dressage horses.
Perfect timing for this video by Jim Masterson as a follow up to my previous post!
Example of a dressage horse presenting lame on and off on the right fore, creating a secondary issue in the left C7-T1 junction which then becomes a primary issue.
