This whole time has been stressful for me, so I'm posting here to get things off my chest. About a week ago, I tried to bareback my mare, and .5 seconds after I got on, her knees folded and she fell to the ground. As you can imagine I went into full panic mode. Neither I nor my trainer could find where her pain was. Luckily, the vet took a look at her and found three points on her spine that were very painful, but there didn't seem to be any skeletal issues. Unfortunately, she can't be ridden for at least 2 weeks, probably closer to a month. Who knows how she did this to herself, but now I'm just giving her bute, and doing light groundwork to keep her mind active. Picture is of her after a nice bit of walking around.
