It is imperative to be taller than your horse when working on their joints… why you ask? Because the joints in hind end are saggital, meaning up and down… if you thrust into it from a lateral position you will hurt the horse, make the problem worse and lose trust…. Chose a certified animal chiropractor… we know the angles!

As I look at my September calander I just wanted to mention that I’m not gonna be around for two whole weeks in September due to some planned trips. Please schedule way ahead of time for your horses adjustments

I frequently get asked, “How often should my horse be adjusted?”

A lot of it depends on the age of the horse, what your horse is used for, and how often your horse is used. Before I delve into that, let me emphasis that chiropractic is utilized for 3 primary reasons (there are more of course). 1- Acute palliative care, which is typically used for a new or recent injury/complaint. 2- Preventative or Maintenance care, which is typically used for preventing or decreasing possible future injuries/complaints or helping decrease recovery time for an injury/complaint. And chiropractic is also used for helping manage chronic issues. and 3- Improved Athletic Performance. Professional and Olympic human athletes use chiropractic care as an added edge in performance. The equine world quickly followed suit.
Barring no veterinarian emergencies or issues beyond the scope of chiropractic, chiropractic is primarily used for addressing pain and tenderness including sprains, strains, arthritis as well as decreased range of motion or function of the spine and extremities.
Let’s start from one end of the spectrum to the other. If you’re dealing with a pasture pony that is rarely ridden or a retired horse and there is no current acute or problematic issues, from a maintenance or preventative health standpoint, they typically are adjusted every 3 to 6 months. If your dealing with a national or world level competition horse, during the competition season, it’s not uncommon for them to be adjusted every 2 to 4 weeks. Often with these elite level horses, they usually get adjusted a few days before a big event to ensure peak performance. And for those that know their horse inside and out, they can be adjusted right before a race. **Note- most horses need at least 1 to 2 days off after an adjustment before being worked or ridden. I don’t recommend stall rest, turn them out and let them be a horse.** The majority not competing at national or world level horses typically get adjusted every 4 to 6 weeks during the competitive season. In the off season, most competition horses, to maintain optimal health are typically adjusted every 6 to 8 weeks. I find that most non-competitive or lower level performance horses do well getting adjusted every 6 to 8 weeks as well, which coincides with most farrier schedules. (I typically like to adjust horses right after their farrier appointment or after having their teeth worked on).
If a horse is ridden or worked daily, and again barring no emergencies or issues beyond the scope of chiropractic, I usually adjust them every 4 to 6 weeks. The average for most horses is every typically 5 weeks. If there is a injury or a problem that arises with no known cause and again baring no vet emergency and issues beyond the chiropractic scope, I will adjust them and check them again in 2 weeks.
Typically when a horse has been adjusted, we normally recommended that a horse not be adjusted again for a minimum of 2 weeks. Horses’ nervous systems are way more sensitive than humans.

I hope this helps.
