You were so patient with Amigo Doc! I love how you allow the animals to set their own limits as to what they can take that day. You are respectful of both your human and animal patients!

Thanks Megan, I appreciate the comment. I know that I rush sometimes, It's hard when you have 143 horses and the most I can do is 2 per hour. I only got to about 20 on this visit. But I also feel a sense of "get going, get going" because I need to spread some love to as many horses as possible. I don't charge when I go to a rescue farm.

My parents had 3 horses when I was less than 3 years old. Jocko, Jambo and Amigo. Long story short, Amigo is a very "cool" name for a horse. Loving kindness and lots of prayers your way Amigo. I am glad you have such a loving mom.

I appreciate how much you have refined your approach with the horses. Asking to work with them, much calmer energy , letting them sniff your booster box.... bravo. I perceive an enormous difference. Great to see your growth. 💞🙏🏻💞

I’m so happy that you decided to continue your education to help these beautiful animals, large and small. Growing up we had horses and never thought that they might be in pain. My dads dad raised draft horses here in Minnesota and was told he loved and treated his horses better than his wife and 13 kids. His horses were sought after. We have a few animal chiropractors here in MN.

If I lived near Doug he would deffinatley be my chiropractor. I just love his work and I am desperate for my first ever adjustment. At 59 years old my body is a bit worse for ware. I hill walked, cycled, swam, and worked as a horse wrangler here in Scotland. My poor old body has seen some abuse and injuries lol now I think it's time for some tender loving care and maintenance lol xxx

It's natural instinct for horses not to like things high up, because predators used to attack from above. These horses are very accepting but you need to keep the natural instincts in mind. They've been through enough.

I'm a little confused about this. Isn't Christine saying that she notices the sore back when the horse is cantering? If so, then the word "canter" would be correct, but I admit I don't know very much about horses and am here trying to learn more. If someone can explain that would be great!
@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen3 жыл бұрын
@@NarielleD5388 The word Canter is the verb. The Gerund form, Cantering is used commonly in colloquial speech. But you are correct in thinking it doesn't need the "ing" form to express "Canter" as a verb. However, that being said, you will hear it a lot. I think you will hardly ever hear (cantering) in the UK for example. " In the UK, it would be simply... "The horses set off at a canter" The phrase "the horse is cantering" is not grammatically correc or necessary, but it is a common colloquial phrase here in the states.

I always wonder why there is a difference between a horse killed for food for a person overseas is worse than for an animal to eat. To me, both reasons are equal, and making money off a pet you no longer want but don't want to give a second chance at life in the care of someone willing to take the burden of rehabilitation on.

This horse reminds me of Ben. He liked to play rough always giving me a bump with his head but never hard enough to put me on my ass. I'd give him a hard shove, he'd snort and I'd laugh and give him a treat.

When you worked on his atlas at 4:18 you said he was chewing and that was a good thing. Is that similar to a dog when it shakes itself off after being adjusted? The breed description and info on this big beauty made this video quite informative as well as interesting. Adios Amigo.
@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen3 жыл бұрын
Yes, my teachers, who are Vets, told me that the licking and chewing on the horse, and the shaking with the dog is pretty much the same. It is the animal showing an acceptance or integration of the work.

Usually horses do that when releasing anxiety/stress. A reset. You will see it when something “scary” happened but they didn’t die. Some people believe they are processing something they just learned.
