Jess – Exercise Prescription
30/11/23
Jess was seen following a kick in the field had caused a fractured hind-limb splint bone. She has
been on rest and is now slowly returning to work. In walk there was increased rib movement to
the right with increased weight bearing on the right hind-limb which was seen as increased fetlock
drop on the right hand side. Straight moving and landing. Reduced pelvic movement on the right
hand side.
Globally Jess has lost some muscle mass and so her saddle will need to be checked before ridden
work commences. I hope that she becomes more balanced before this occurs.
Triceps long head held increased tone. In the right hind, her gastrocnemius, semitendinosus and
gluteal were in spasm and this extended into the lower back on this side.
Taping was applied to alleviate some of the tension.
