New bridle and bit with bitting advice and teeth being seen too in the near future. Still strong under saddle at times and not been jumping as much now.

Bilateral foot placement was lateral in the front feet with the right fore being more noticeable. Right tuber coxae drop (slight). Similar in trot. Objective: Tension and restriction in the head and jaw. Temporalis muscles were even and showed no difficulties eating. Facial crest non-painful and some tension and resistance in masseter bilaterally. Initially unable to move mandible of the maxilla either direction. Released fascial and TMJ, able to move with slight restrictions felt when moving mandible to the right. Poll area and ears good, relaxed when this was applied. Neck was good, pre-scapula left side was higher tone and tense, released with massage. Some mild restriction in the ribs and lumbar regions, these had improved from previous visits. Some deeper areas of tension where k-tape was applied. Range of Motion: Back range of motion was good with nice pelvic rounding. Exercises [] [] [] [] [][]
