They need a vet because they are athletes and they have injuries and illnesses, same as us. I've never used one, but I can see the value in horse chiropractors, we are particularly dependent and hard on the back of a horse, and fixing backs is what chiropractors do. There may be very little difference between a shrink and a trainer sometimes, but I don't believe in psychics.
No - you get that way to save wear and tear on tack, to be able to find something instantly, and judge the size as you're walking up to it. :)
Well if my horses had a problem maybe, if my vet couldn't fix it. My post was meant lightly. No shrinks or pyschics though. I could have saved that rich lady a lot of money. All she had to do was smack that little dog when he tried to bite her and pop him with that mail he wanted to chew up.
That TV animal spychic woman is the only animal show I refuse to watch, even when Gidget is begging for Animal Planet. ;~D
Oh good, you're back. I thought maybe I had offended you about the chiropractor remark. I was told this in sincerity and I just had this vision of me in one stall and the horse in the other, laying on our bellies on shavings:')
funny thing is, I think most people who go to chiropractors are wasting their money. They get worse, I think sometimes.... but people have reported success with horse chiropractic for soreness and stiffness... who knows, maybe they are just as nuts ;~D
Damn it's cold here. Just came in from feeding....Brrrrrrr:)
Choctawsquaw has a cousin who had a chiropractor work on his horse. Made the horse worse.

Sorry:), I'm shivering from cold:)

I see it as with anything else. Some horses may have a serious problem that can be fixed. There was a horse at the stables that resisted putting weight on her back leg. Now the girl is riding her so that's good. For some is it just a back massage for their horse and a status thing though? Time will tell, I guess if it's just a fad.
She hasn't been around in awhile! Did she lose interest in us?
I've been hearing alot about chriopractors for the lasst..LOL..few years. I think it's a fad too, but I have seriously considered it for my mare. Nothing to lose with her.
Becky
ROTFL!
