*** X-RAYS OF THE BACK AND NECK ARE NOT HELPFUL UNLESS THE HORSE IS DISPLAYING CLINICAL SIGNS OF PAIN ***

I’ve gone on about “kissing spine” often not causing any pain whatsoever in many horses. This afternoon I’m attending PPE/vetting lectures, which one again confirms these X-rays are not helpful when taken at a PPE (vetting) unless the vet is concerned about back or neck pain when examining the horse.

X-rays of the back and neck aren’t helpful at a PPE and are not recommended by FEEVA (Federation of European Equine Veterinary Associations).

Fun all around pony for an advanced beginner.

Buddy is a 16-year-old, unregistered 13.2hh POA pony located near Brandon. He is a true all-around pony who has done a little bit of everything, including ranch work, goat tying, trail riding, pony club, hunters, and jumpers.

Until the last few years, Buddy was primarily ridden Western by a family with boys who eventually outgrew him. He was then purchased by his current family to begin his career as an English jumping pony, and he has happily taken on his new job. Unfortunately, he has once again been outgrown, so it is time for Buddy to find his next family. He is a very brave guy and enjoys having a job to do.

PM me for more information.

This is when the trainer’s role becomes most crucial, by aligning the rider’s expectations with their actual ability.

"If we truly care about safety and welfare, we must look beyond the things we buy—better helmets, safety vests, and breakaway cups—and ask tougher questions about long-term preparation, accountability, and education," columnist Armand Leone writes. © Kimberly Loushin Opinion: Advancement Withou...
