Lodi is built like a daschund; he has a very long back and short legs.  This has always made him prone to back soreness.  Lodi has been worked on by other chiropractors and massage therapists but none have been able to address his jaw soreness as well as Jacquie and none have given me tools to help Lodi with his TMJ problems between sessions.  Lodi has always looked weak in his loin area but since Jacquie has worked on him, he has looked stronger.  I know she can’t change a horse’s conformation, but I think she did.

Just over two years ago, Lodi kicked through a smooth and hot wire fence.  He jerked his legs back, twisted around and fell down.  When he returned to work, he was very uncomfortable with his left lead canter.  He had trouble picking the lead up and if you were able to get the lead, he couldn’t maintain it for more than one 20 meter circle and really struggled going in a straight line on that lead.  Vets and other chiropractors have not been able to help me with this problem.  Since Jacquie has worked on Lodi, he not only picks up the left lead, but he is able to maintain it for several laps around the arena.  Beginner riders learning how to canter are able to get Lodi into the left lead and keep him in it.
