Ladyhawk had an injury which caused at least partial blindness in her
right eye, and probably as a result of adjusting to that she had several injured areas, as well as
a deformed right front foot. The farrier has to work hard to keep her balanced.
Chiropractic exam revealed tightness and a shoulder and hips out of adjustment, as well as a
left hind fetlock slightly swollen and out of whack. She moved better after her adjustment,
but there is still room for improvement; she used to stay by herself
with her good side presented to the herd for safety, but now
Prophet considers her 'his' property and he helps protect her blind side. She never lost
weight - came a little underweight, gained and is now in good form. I find she works best
under saddle, trusting in her rider - because of the vision difficulty. She is very kind and
easy to handle and responsive to her riders - and a great steadying influence on the trail for more
excitable horses.
