This is definitely a problem for me. Good news is, every time I ride I am more relaxed and lose my death-grip on the reins : ) I'm finally getting the concept of light contact. Brigid

Veterinary Chiropractor Clinics
This message is from: Mary Ellen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is from Mel Thomas Chiropractic Veterinary Care in Snohomish, WA.. I firmly believe in Chiropractic Care. In my job as Program Director for a Therapeutic Riding Program, we don't always get perfectly conformed horses(there are very few out there) and everyone needs a little help now then. In my previous position, the vet let it be known he would not step in the barn if a chiropractor or accupuncture or massage person was there. I really didn't like that attitude, but he did donate his services we put up with it. However, in my new situation, not only do we have two phenomenal vet clinics who donate their services, WE HAVE A VETERINARY CHIROPRACTOR. His name is Dr. Michael Salewski and he works from Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital in Snohomish, Washington. Their phone number is (360)568-3111. Address is 11308 -92 St. SE, Snohomish, WA 98290. I can't say enough good things about this vet actually their whole clinic is top notch. Dr. Mike does accupressure, chiropractic, and will instruct the owner how to releave muscles exercises to do to keep his work going. Sometimes, he's had to see our horses 3 times, others only once. Whatever is best for the horse. Because he is so good popular, an appointment with him is a week or 10 days out, but he's worth it. I highly recommend the clinic Dr. Mike Salewski. Hope this helps, Mel Thomas From Snohomish, WA - (A Little Way North East of Seattle) Where the forecast calls for rain until August, the creeks are rising the sun doesn't shine often. (But it's green)

Mel, silly question here, but I gotta ask it. Do you use fjords in your program? We're in Portland, just a little ways from you g, but I'd be interested in seeing your program sometime, if it's okay with you. Have a vested interest you know, with my son. Pamela
