Here’s the morale of the story. If the horse is doing something that is not normal or weird or bad behavior, we rule out the physical first.
Lucky Star still had his grumpy spots during the lesson. He flashed his ears back again when I put my feet in the stirrup with a little weight transfer. Sort of like I was going to get on him, ya know like mounting him. That’s just not his personality.
So, Lucky Star got to go see Dr. Randy again, but this time for a chiropractic adjustment.
One hip muscle was spasming, one side of his withers (shoulder) was out and his poll was out. Dr. Randy said Lucky Star really needed an adjustment.
It’s about 30 some miles to go see Dr. Randy and I didn’t hear Lucky Star neighing for the first time. He’s starting to accept being in the trailer as familiar now. Yay
Lucky Star needs some time to get familiar with his new adjusted body. He should be feeling great when he goes to stay with Tony and Jenny Vaught for his training starting in January. Yee Haw!
