Well its been a while since I've updated this. So a weeks ago (early march) Our school team had a quick entry into Waikato Secondary Schools Showjumping.
in short - It was a complete disaster. Cruise broke entirely. Wouldn't jump, studded himself, was so tense and freaked out etc etc.
So he was taken home immediately and the Vet came out. We suspected he had tied up. but took bloods and they came back clear.
So we turned to a chiropractor. We took Cruise to see Joanne Andrew who is a spinal therapist
and turns out his back was definitely causing him pain, enough for him to just breakdown.
So Cruise stayed a week in Matamata and in that time he had two treatments.
We had a dressage competition not long after his treatment but thankfully he was going to be okay during it.
Oh my gosh that's so horrible! At least you found out what was wrong and now he's on his way to a speedy recovery.
