Lao Tzu- The Old Sage, Chinese philosopher
Thanks to
Dr. Suzan Seelye, Sage is finally on her way to some big changes in her body.
At her first visit on May 7th, 2009, she spent about three and a half hours
with Sage. I have never had a chiropractic session that lasted that
long, was as in-depth, or treated the horse with as much respect as
the session I witnessed with Dr. Seeyle.
Dr.
Seeyle spent a lot of time "pausing" with Sage, letting her adjust
to new feelings and sensations in her evolving body. Or, perhaps I
should say devolving; maybe she is going back to the body that she
was born with and destined to have before she was messed up by
humans.
Dr. Seeyle calls Sage's conformation "compromised" because it is not
her true conformation. Her true conformation will come with some
further work from Dr. Seeyle, Sage, and myself.
I was not supposed to do anything with Sage for a few days after
this first session, but I could not resist checking on her the next
day. I just looked and petted and made sure she was ok.
When she saw me, she came trotting up and whinnying exuberantly. It
was quite a joy to see and hear. She was very affectionate, and
seemed very relaxed. Her stance even continued to look good, and she
seemed to be maintaining more width between her legs. And she layed
down and rolled about 2 feet from me shortly after I reached her and
then shook her entire body hard. She has never dropped to the ground
in her pasture two feet away from me and rolled. It was almost as if
to say, I trust you, and thank you for helping me feel good, and to
be the horse I am meant to be.
Read more on Sage's case and why she needed this
from Dr. Seeyle herself.
