Hi, I bought my second horse in March and have been working really hard to get him in good shape. He is 10 years old, appy x Andy cross . His previous owner was too busy for him and thus he sat for a long time , and just got turned out in a small pen daily without much work. He has some behavioral issues , that we have been working out. And he’s really been showing improvement! It’s clear that he struggles going to the left more than the right. The muscling on his neck shows this and how he rides too. Cantering specifically to the left is super challenging for him, he can typically only go a time around at the canter under saddle to the left. I have been practicing stretching his neck both directions and bending but wanted some advice for other exercises to help him! Any ideas ?

To add:
He’s been seen by the vet. And we had a saddle properly fit to him. He’s not lame. The behavior issues are improving , initially he had ulcers that we treated so the majority of his issues were due to that. He is just lazy due to being out of shape and not wanting to work (I don’t blame him)

I have been on my current combination pill for a year now, had my lap in December of last year and haven’t missed any pills and I’m not pregnant. I started getting brown blood about a week ago (several days before my “period”) and it just hasn’t let up. I’m supposed to get my actual scheduled period soon but I’m so scared this breakthrough bleeding isn’t going to go away. I’m not sure what is causing it but it’s causing me a lot of pain and is just super annoying .
I contacted my dr’s office and the nurse just said if my pain is “too bad” then go to the er. The er isn’t going to help this so I’m so frustrated. Anyone have similar experiences?

I had this happen last year . I was on my previous pill for years and had the same thing happen only I bled for months . I had to switch doctors because she wouldn’t help me.

Why do medical professionals still go around telling people that antibiotics affects birth control. I recently had a sinus infection that led to pneumonia and was put on antibiotics. The provider warned me that my birth control would not be as effective. This myth is really annoying.
