2011 – Rock & Roll – 1-27-11 – MASSAGE
1/27/11: Joanne and Dave came for Rock’s massage and did more overall work again. Joanne climbed up on his back and did deep work on the hips, croup and then his withers and neck area. Afterwards, we took them to the indoor arena for a good roll since the ground outside is now frozen and muddy. They are now noticeable happy and relaxed.
Rock is finally getting some decent growth above the stress lines in his right front foot.
Roll got plenty of attention of his own since Rock is now standing and responding on his own and doesn’t need a header anymore. He has a much more happy face! Roll has no more fluid buildup in the hocks since his change of feed and stretching and lunging exercises.
Roll couldn’t believe it when I got on him for a massage. It’s clear he’s never been mounted before, but didn’t seem to mind at all and quickly relaxed. He really enjoyed finally getting his massage and traction.
Roll is loving every minute of it! Now he’s talking back! Now to the indoor arena for a good roll!
