While stretching my aching muscles yesterday (yes just stretching) I seem to have pulled or torn a muscle in my shoulders\/back. Oh it was horrible, I felt like someone had stabbed me. I somehow managed to get myself and the dogs to work (while hobbling down the street to my store very hunched over). I spent pretty much the entire day sitting at my desk in agonizing pain. When it was finally time to leave I went straight home and slept until my husband was very kindly able to give me a very long massage, which actually helped some. I am definitely much better today (I can atleast stand up straight) but I still can&#8217;t turn my head without agonizing pain. I guess it was bound to happen with all the heavy (man) lifting I have been doing lately &#8211; but stretching? What am I 50 years old? Hardly, atleast not yet&#8230;..this should not be happening to me at 25.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, my sore muscles got me thinking about my ponies sore muscles &#8211; which I&#8217;m sure they have. So I searched youtube and came across a video that goes into a pretty good short description of message techniques that you can use on your own horse at home. Maybe I can talk someone into using these techniques on me later tonight. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J1XK-BXBjLs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>-KD<br \/>\nwww.ponypaintings.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So my hulk muscles have come with a price it seems.
