Today finds me with Dr Don Moore of Fruita Colorado. Don has been a vet for 33 years and doing alternate medicine for 10 years. I've had several clients whose horses need the help of a chiropractor but I couldn't get them to call and get Doc there. So I loaded doc up and off we went.

   The first horse had been stuck in sucking mud on the mtn, his back was in bad shape, the horse was loading the inside of his back feet and flaring bad on the lateral, doc worked on him 5 times and now the horse has no flares, and is going good with no more trouble. The owner was given stretching exercises to do and did them.   The next horse was supposed to be Naviculer, I didn't think so, his foot was to round and the horse was hard to handle. I suspected a shoulder problem, and that’s what it was right shoulder was in bad shape, the left rear was also in bad shape, when we have a problem on one limb the horse will stress the diagonal limb so we must look at the whole horse.Doc is still working on this horse and will the rest of the horses life. A lot of the horse's problems are his conformation, short neck and long legs.

 

   Next is a mare that I can't shoe with out dope, now her shoulders are fixed and she stands good for shoeing or trimming.

   Next is an Arab that got beat up by another horse, I could not pick up his back  feet, he wouldn't kick but could not stand on either back leg, the horse was reluctant to do a lot of what he was trained for. 5 sessions with Doc and massage therapy and the horse is back to his self.

 

     This list goes on and on with what Doc and I do as a team. I don't like to get a prescription from a vet to shoe a horse. I charge $500 to fill the prescription. Doc Moore will tell me what he found and show me the radiographs, we put our heads together and the horse benefits. This is a team effort and it works, Doc respects me and I respect him.

 

   Doc used to sell another brand of algae now that he has seen gale e3live he is sold. And we may be able to get it in a nation wide store, we are working on that

 

 

  Folks I hope you all understand that Doc and I try to work as a team, and we work for the horse.

   I told one lady that I work for the horse and not her, she said well let that sob write the check. then I got a 50 tip from her.

  Till next time see ya keep hammering
