Training Tip Of The Month - Chiropractic Adjustments
Contributed by Debi Broadway
I'm
sure all of us have watched foals in the field playing with each other at one
time or another. They like to run,
rear, paw at one another, etc. Well,
prior to beginning their saddle training you might think about having a
chiropractic adjustment done on them. They
can pull a muscle or misalign their spine with their rough play. It is also a
good idea to have an adjustment done prior to having a saddle fitting.
You may find that your saddle doesn't need as much work or any work once
you get the horse adjusted properly. Chiropractic
work is not about pain, it's about providing the horse (or human) the ability to
move free and with greater ease. Riders
can improve their abilities if they receive adjustments also, it helps to keep
you limber in the saddle.
