🌟Stomach Points🌟

Bladder 20 & 21 are commonly used during the acupuncture scan as diagnostic points for stomach pain. These points are found just before and after the last rib about six fingers off midline. If steady, light to medium pressure over these points, illicits a response, it may be indicative of stomach pain.

❗️ please consult your regular veterinarian or an integrative medicine vet before over interpreting these results. Reactivity here may also be a result of back pain, poor saddle fit, or caudal rib restrictions.

The Army's Old Guard caisson unit resumed operation for President Jimmy Carter's funeral. The horse unit’s operation had been suspended by the Army in May 2023 following the deaths of two horses used to haul caissons in funerals at Arlington National Cemetery.

“We are executing our flagship mission,” said Lt. Col. Branden Quintana, commander of the Caisson Detachment, part of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment known as The Old Guard. “There’s no better way for us to pay our respect and honor the former president. It’s something we feel in the center of our heart, the pit of our stomach. This is the pinnacle.”
