And massage therapist. I worked through my horse’s hi/low
issues (almost a club foot on his RF) a few years ago and it took us a solid
year of trimming about every 10 days, doing once a month chiro and every 2-3
weeks massage (sometimes more frequently depending on what the massage
therapist found).
Don’t forget the rear hooves too. They don’t show the
differences so much visibly as they do with an x-ray. But, the diagonal rears
will have similar issues to the fronts and will wreak more havoc on the spinal
column than the fronts since they’re more tightly attached to the spinal column
than the shoulders.

Janet,
I would have a good equine chiropractor look at her..I have a great one here in
the Auburn area..he travels within an hour or so and further for more $$.
I do ride Treeless, and have both Freeform and Bandos.

Subject: [RC] treeless saddles and low heel/high heel syndrome - help!

I would love some opinions please. My Arab mare has low heel/high heel
syndrome in the front which has created asymmetry in her shoulders. So my
current saddle doesn't fit perfectly and causes a dry spot behind her withers
on one side and even though she's a gray, you can still see a patch of white
hair. Her back doesn't appear sore, she seems very willing and forward,
and she completed her first season last year of limited distance rides (about
six) without any problems. But I feel it's just a matter of time before
I'll have some issues especially if I move up to 50's. Also, she only
wants me posting on one diagonal. So my question is; would a treeless
saddle be better? I have an excellent farrier (seriously probably the
best in northern Ca) and I'm going to start body work. I take dressage
lessons and try to ride as balanced as possible, and I'm light. So what
else can I do? Everything else about her is wonderful. I'm thinking
of going to convention and buying a Freeform....
Thanks, Janet
