I loved how the brown horse just stepped up to help you with the Yoda. He was so discreet in his approach. I appreciated the education of how to interact with a blind horse. Yoda is a massive. majestic beauty.
Great comment. I thought the same thing about the brown horse. He made sure Yoda was okay then just supervised. Wonderful person who took these special needs horses💞 Of course Dr Doug is such a blessing! Great job 👍
@@julz7753 Ye that's the impression I had aswell. The brown horse recognizes that his friend is blind, so he is protective and came close to see that he's ok.
I LOST IT when he said " deep breath in, and out" and then yoda did it XD that was the cutest freaking thing I ever seen! he was totally in tune with what you were doing and I think he enjoyed it
Yoda looked like he wanted to cry when you first you first touched him. He seemed overwhelmed with sadness from his past. Sir, YOU ARE AN EARTH ANGEL. SERIOUSLY.
I love how trusting Yoda was with you Doc. That other horse acted like your micro-managing supervisor standing over your shoulder. 🤣 This was very relaxing to watch. Great work with this majestic beauty named Yoda!
Rune was not micromanaging, he wanted in on it, he wanted to get worked on! If you know horses like I do, Rune was TOTALLY in love with "The Animal Cracker". He was giving signs of major horsey love.
Yoda is such a handsome guy! It's amazing how animals can 'feel', 'sense' that something is very wrong and they are in a dangerous situation. I'm so grateful that Gentle Giants Rescue saved all of these beautiful creatures! Dr. Doug, thank YOU for helping them and introducing us! Blessings to you!
Yoda looked like he was really understanding what you were trying to help him with ! Love the way you communicated with him. What a lovely old horse. Great video.
Yoda is absolutely beautiful. It's so sad that his sight could've been saved and yet he didn't get it. His legs are darker than his body. But one beautiful horse.
Thank goodness these two beautiful souls were saved. There's something almost spiritual about them. I love to see the relaxation, the lips hanging so loose and the head going down.
I love that facility, they take such good care of all the horses there. What a trusting, beautifully tempered giant. He will become a favorite I'm sure. Good job as always
Very good work and you can tell Yoda is moving and feeling much better. The brown horse, Rune was making sure his friend was alright and Yoda will probably do the same thing when your working on him, getting a sense of what is happening and listening to your soothing voice. Great and compassionate save and care the people do here saving these beautiful horses. They deserve a good life after years of hard labor. Thanks for taking care of these beautiful animals and being so patient and considerate of their feelings and your approach to them knowing they are blind.
Hi Yoda! I loved how curious Rune was of Dr. Doug. He was so stinking cute! It was like: "Can I join in?" 😂😂😂 Yoda is just such a beautiful horse. Thank you for everything you do to make all these animals' lives (horses, pigs, rosters, dogs, cats and what have you) a happier and more comfortable one Dr. Doug! One more thing: Will we see any video of you working on Rune?
Yoda is a gentleman without doubt. I think the bay horse was enthralled by your energy. . .and maybe a wee bit envious that Yoda was getting all the attention.
I want to start on a good note - thank you for helping Yoda, Dr. He's a beauty and so gentle and patient and seems so knowing and accepting. You feel like he's had a hard life and hadn't been loved and is learning how to be around good people who care for him - thank you also to helper Rune 😊 On a darker note - his previous abusers had that beautiful horse working for them and they didn't even try to help him? I find that sickening. Yoda could have avoided that blind fate - all those filth needed to do was a little preventative medicine - and Yoda was helping them - working with them - and they didn't even bother to help him. What sort of ungodly evil people would do that? Thank you to all that's good that he come into such good hands - I wish all beasties could have such good people looking after them.
Thank you, so much my friend. I get angry too. I don't get that much info, so I try to be diplomatic about it. But I can't help thinking about, the potential neglect that may have happened, and this saddens me, and sickens me.
Looks like Rune wanted to say hi too.he reminds me of Sammy just putting on a show in the background. Yoda was so good for you. Truly a gentle giant. Thank you for helping him he deserves this . 😊
Yoda is such a gentle giant. He is getting the love Dr. Doug gives through his great work on him. It sure seems Yoda is a horse that is overdue his "just deserts"! Thanks for your great service to the animals.👏👍🙏🌈
This was my favorite adjustment you’ve done atGentle Giants. My daughter is a new human and animal chiropractor. She’s loving her work on horses so much! I’m learning so much from your videos, and I’m telling everyone about this channel. Thanks!
I hold you in such high esteem Dr Willen. This video brought me to tears. Such lovely, dignified horses. Humans treatment of innocent creatures breaks my heart.
Gentle Giants is really a wonderful rescue - what a lovely place for two beautiful blind horses to enjoy. Yoda seemed to be very happy with the calm talking and comfortable releases he got- enjoyed Mr Curious supporting all the way! 😊
@@kennethsteelhammer 😁😁 Nope… one would be ghastly enough, never mind a safari! Would you like to visit here and try it out? 🦈🦈 We have a few baby sharks ( to look at) in our very nice aquarium in Cape Town …and you can swim with sand sharks in Durban - they just hang about on the bottom of their pool…😁
@@kennethsteelhammer They are amazing creatures- such ancient beings but terribly unpredictable and I’m sure you still have much to experience in life that cutting it short would be a pity!😀Also, one might have to love swimming in a very cold ocean…
Yoda is one big, big beauty. Amazing how adjusting his pec muscle creates the ability of him being able to widen his legs. Lots of amazing and informative info on this one. Thanks
I felt like it was positive. Yoda is in his teen years, and he won't change shape in 20 minutes. But I think you can see the process and approach. The main thing is that we were safe, respectful, and started to open him up, even if it was only a little.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen If only you could give them some exercises & stretches to do themselves between your visits. But then animals are much more in tune with their bodies than humans & unless they’re forced to work in unnatural postures for them, once the strains, spasms & knots are released, I’m sure they’re probably better at not immediately going back into bad habits like we humans. I do find it amazing that they just meet you, let you poke, prod, push & stretch them, even on sore spots, yet every animal I’ve seen looks at you afterwards like you’re a little bit magic
Omgosh. Heck yeah you can tell the difference in his hoof placement. Amazing job and what a sweetheart he is. Shame on the poor care people that had him before. God bless you and your family and the horse rescue team and their families. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Yoda is an absolutely gorgeous horse! And I loved the Brown horse who seemed to be volunteering as Yoda's "eyes". Don't tell me animals do not feel love! They absolutely have empathy and compassion for other animals...and for the human animal.
I wanted to know about dog chin whiskers today so I asked Siri. This answer came back and I copied a portion of it for blind dogs. I figured horses whiskers did the same thing for them as the dogs, and remembered this magnificent draft horse I had viewed earlier. Wanted to share with you. With much appreciation for what you do. “Like Antennae or Canes Whiskers function much as antennae do in insects. They help dogs get a sense of their surroundings, particularly in dim light or in the dark. They also function as canes do for blind people. Whiskers are especially helpful to dogs who have vision impairment. Reflexes When you gently touch a dog's whiskers, the dog's eye on the same side of the whiskers you've touched will blink reflexively. The dog will very likely turn his head away from the side you've touched.” Did you know this?
Clearly you have “IT”. This takes someone with just the right touch. You sir have a true gift. And all your patients are all the more better for it. (from YOU!)
I love this new channel that l have found,l never knew there was chiropractors for animals,this is wonderful and wonderful to watch and Yoda is beautiful.
I can't imagine, as a blind horse, having someone touch me all over. This video made me nervous, for the Doc😅. But Yoda handled it well. He must be very happy
#9:38 'You breathed on my whole brain' cracked me right up! Horses seem to be attracted to you, the brain breather was so curious, he needed to know what you were doing with his friend. You have such a soft approach to these blind beauties, when you talk to them, they respond with such delicate movements. You really do work so hard, thankyou for being you 😍💖
Today is a giant, very handsome and muscular Belgian Draft horse! It makes me very sad that he’s worked so hard all of his life and now is totally blind because his owner did not get him the medical care he needed for his eyes when he still had normal vision. Selfish of the owner and so sad for Yoda. I’m so happy that he’s retired, safe and loved by his humans at Gentle Giants Rescue in Mt. Airy. He had a permanent head me there and will receive the care he needs for the remainder of his life. Thank you Gentle Giants!! ❤ 23:51 ❤🐴🐴
I do enjoy seeing the other horses come along to love you up. They don’t need eyes to see your kindness. We had two partially sighted horses and they can ‘see’ remarkably well with their other senses, but then, horses are supernatural beings.
Thank you for highlighting all your critters and the people who care for them. Some days I really need to see some good in the world and you never fail on that. Beautiful work!
Yoda and Rune! Such sweet horses. I hope that both of them can always and for ever be pasture buddies. Thank you for being so gentle with both of them. 😃
Yoda is a very sweet Belgian. His pal, Rue wanted part of the action, even though he is blind. Blind horses have an instinct that tells them to trust fully. Yoda was into his therapy session. The communication and trust between you and Yoda was awesome. Your methods for getting Yoda to relax was wonderful to see. Horses are so precious. Bless you for working with horses and animals.
Had a friend who had a blind horse. She put lavender bushes on one side of fence! And on other each fence had different fragrant herb or roses bushes! That horse knew where she was. Also gravel near fences to let hecould tell how close he was to fence
Both of those horses are gorgeous. And I love seeing the muscles release & Yoda taking those deeper breaths & standing more straight. My back is crying though lol. It’s been way too long since it’s had any love, but I’m glad these gorgeous big horses are getting some.
Such a sweet gentle giant of a horse. Hope he has a great life there. The same for the bay horse. Both are so sweet after going through what they have gone through.
Hi Yoda. You're a very sweet hearted pretty horse. You worked so hard for your owner. That's over now. Looks like a kind person has you now and just wants to give you all the love you deserve. Best wishes 🤗 * Dr Doug said leave a comment for Yoda*
Thanks for helping Yoda. I think he knows that you were helping him, and you earned his trust. The brown horse was checking to see what you were doing to his friend. So sad that those gentle giant draft horses are so abused. Lucky that those horses have a forever loving home. And can rest, and enjoy the rest of their lives. God Bless you for helping all of these animals. ❤️🐎
He is such a handsome boy, it is sad that he is blind but the good part is that he is in the best place he could be to be to get older. So glad that he was rescued.
I'm fairly new to your channel but I cant believe how you can wk with animals! What a God given gift that you do with such respect towards them! I'm a retired nurse and if I lived near you, I'd volunteer what ever help you might need. Esp while you are volunteering as well. I admire you greatly. May God bless you greatly for caring for His creatures! 🐕🐎🐴
I appreciate how gentle you are with a horse that's so much bigger and heavier than you are. I laugh though when I watch it work on him because I have someone who works on me and they use some of the exact same techniques and so I just kind of giggle. I also share with them your videos. You work on animals they work on people. Really enjoy watching you work with animals I love sharing your videos with my horse friends and they enjoy it.
Yeah, it's Friday and the weekend is starting off right with Dr. Doug's TLC (Tender Lovin' Crackin'). Rune and Yoda are an excellent duo. So glad they are getting the love & care they've deserved all life-long.
Bless you for the healing you help these animals have. I hope Yoda and friend have a long peaceful retirement. Thank you to the rescue for saving them.
Hi, I just watched your video with you working on Yoda, the blind drive tours. It really angers me and breaks my heart that horses that have difficulties such as blindness, deafness, and other challenges are thrown away by our society just because they’re not perfect. Keep up the good work with the horses.
Yoda is a precious horse. I have so much compassion and love for these poor gentle giants that are overworked and abused. It’s beyond heartbreaking. I’m so glad you were there to help him, and that you approach with respect and true concern and love. Horses are so emotionally intelligent so this orchestrates well. 💯❤️ In a perfect world I could be one of your assistants. I would absolutely love to be a part of this. Animals simply own my heart, helping the helpless is beyond rewarding. Thank you for ALL you do. You’re simply amazing Dr Doug. 💯❤️🐴. 🐑 🐷 🐶🐱🐰🐓
Horses stick together ❤️ ♥️ please help. ...Thank goodness you can help...love how not only were both saved the owners try everything to help them live a happy pain free life♥️♥️♥️♥️
It is so interesting to see how the machinations relax their bodies and return them to a more normal position. You must have the ultimate in job satisfaction.
Very interesting observing two blind horses with the Hands-On chiropractic Care with verbal communication- the kinesthetic and verbal language is a pathway to communicate with these blind horses and the blind horses are showing what other horses won't and are very receptive. I hope you also treated the bay horse I think he was looking for treatment as well as to socialize with his friend. Great work. God bless
I loved how the brown horse just stepped up to help you with the Yoda. He was so discreet in his approach. I appreciated the education of how to interact with a blind horse. Yoda is a massive. majestic beauty.
Great comment. I thought the same thing about the brown horse. He made sure Yoda was okay then just supervised.
Wonderful person who took these special needs horses💞

I felt like he was watching out for his blind friend
@@julz7753 Ye that's the impression I had aswell. The brown horse recognizes that his friend is blind, so he is protective and came close to see that he's ok.

Hi, thanks for watching this video. I have to always remind myself to breathe. Its fun to see the horse, dog or cat exhale too!

@@comesahorseman all animals understand energy & mimic behaviors, not just horses.
@@comesahorseman I think it was just an expansion on your theme, not a criticism.
Yoda looked like he wanted to cry when you first you first touched him. He seemed overwhelmed with sadness from his past. Sir, YOU ARE AN EARTH ANGEL. SERIOUSLY.
Do you teach the owner how to do any of this, that doesnt involve cracking?
'Thank you' on Yoda's behalf. What a beautiful gentleman, he was very happy with the treatment. ☮️
I love how trusting Yoda was with you Doc. That other horse acted like your micro-managing supervisor standing over your shoulder. 🤣 This was very relaxing to watch. Great work with this majestic beauty named Yoda!
Thank you, Jeff, it was funny with the horse, Rune, was very involved. Totally blind, but "watching" every move!

Yoda looked like he was really understanding what you were trying to help him with ! Love the way you communicated with him. What a lovely old horse. Great video.
You are so kind, thanks Elaine!
Yoda is beautiful.
I agree!
This was the most moving experience- especially when you asked him to take a deep breathe. So adorable!!!!
Both horses are beautiful animals. They seem very friendly too.
They are!
Yoda is absolutely beautiful. It's so sad that his sight could've been saved and yet he didn't get it. His legs are darker than his body. But one beautiful horse.
It’s the way he has been clipped, the body has been clipped while the legs and head are left natural.
Thank goodness these two beautiful souls were saved. There's something almost spiritual about them. I love to see the relaxation, the lips hanging so loose and the head going down.
Yes, they both have such a great spirit!
I love that facility, they take such good care of all the horses there. What a trusting, beautifully tempered giant. He will become a favorite I'm sure. Good job as always
Yes, I hope he continues to make a lot of friends. He is very special. And Gentle Giants farm is a very special place, indeed!

I love how the rhune (dark red) horse is micromanaging the situation. I can almost hear him thinking “what are you doing to my buddy?”
i love how you read the animals’ body language so well with their responses to your adjustments. just found this channel and it’s really great
Awww Yoda is so gentle and so is the beauty behind you that wants attention also.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Like that we got to experience the process with a blind horse., the extra communication, connecting etc. And Rune in the background was special too.
Thanks Vaga, I had to keep the patter going. And I decided not to adjust the Atlas at the end, because I feel it may have really freaked him out.

I'm a retired nurse and if I lived near you, I'd volunteer what ever help you might need. Esp while you are volunteering as well. I admire you greatly. May God bless you greatly for caring for His creatures! 🐕🐎🐴
I appreciate how gentle you are with a horse that's so much bigger and heavier than you are. I laugh though when I watch it work on him because I have someone who works on me and they use some of the exact same techniques and so I just kind of giggle. I also share with them your videos. You work on animals they work on people. Really enjoy watching you work with animals I love sharing your videos with my horse friends and they enjoy it.
Thanks Robin, have you ever seen my House of Chiro UA-cam channel? It's all people.
No I haven't. Thanks for the suggestion I'll check it out.
Yoda is an absolute unit! What a beautiful boy!
Yoda doesn't need eye sight...he uses the horse force!
What a handsome boy ❤️
That‘s the best comment today!!! Thanks AQUA
Glad gorgeous Yoda got some relief! Wonderful to see how thoughtful and respectful you were!
I could watch you all day dr Doug - you are so gentle tuned in loving and so professional with a great sense of fun...
Yeah, it's Friday and the weekend is starting off right with Dr. Doug's TLC (Tender Lovin' Crackin').
Rune and Yoda are an excellent duo. So glad they are getting the love & care they've deserved all life-long.
Well said!
Thanks Robin!
Happy Friday to you!
Yoda is gorgeous and a gentle giant. Love these videos. 💕🥰❤️😘❤️
Glad you like them!
Thank you Amy!
Doc
Yoda and Rune; two gentle sweethearts for sure. Thank you Dr. Willen for your soothing, compassionate work.
Bless you for the healing you help these animals have. I hope Yoda and friend have a long peaceful retirement. Thank you to the rescue for saving them.
It's amazing how you took a deep breath and Yoda did the same! 😮. They are sweethearts 💖
Hi, I just watched your video with you working on Yoda, the blind drive tours. It really angers me and breaks my heart that horses that have difficulties such as blindness, deafness, and other challenges are thrown away by our society just because they’re not perfect. Keep up the good work with the horses.
Yoda is a precious horse. I have so much compassion and love for these poor gentle giants that are overworked and abused. It’s beyond heartbreaking. I’m so glad you were there to help him, and that you approach with respect and true concern and love. Horses are so emotionally intelligent so this orchestrates well. 💯❤️
In a perfect world I could be one of your assistants. I would absolutely love to be a part of this. Animals simply own my heart, helping the helpless is beyond rewarding. Thank you for ALL you do. You’re simply amazing Dr Doug. 💯❤️🐴. 🐑 🐷 🐶🐱🐰🐓
Lots of love Yoda.
Peaceful to watch
Thanks Rachel!
Glad you could watch this one!
Beautiful horses. What a rewarding feeling you must get in just gaining the trust and taking stress off of them.
“Babe”, I love that☺️. Your approach is Just beautiful..
What a gentle giant. Being a plow horse, it’s so nice he can have a few years of leisure.
Your great love and compassion is evident to both humans and animals alike. Thank you so much.
Horses stick together ❤️ ♥️ please help. ...Thank goodness you can help...love how not only were both saved the owners try everything to help them live a happy pain free life♥️♥️♥️♥️
It is so interesting to see how the machinations relax their bodies and return them to a more normal position.
You must have the ultimate in job satisfaction.
Just had fire brigade here as little gits started fire on the embankment behind the house. Got to watch this to chill now x
Lynne, I pray that all are safe!
Glad you're all right.
Awww, thanks Lynne. I'm so glad you are here. I hope everything is okay behind your house!
Your the best doc. You know so much about what this guy going to do. Doc whisperer!
Thanks Constance, but I'm still a beginner on my journey. Thank you for your support.
I love you Yoda and also the brown horse. Thanks for helping them today Doc. 🥰
Your connection with animals is wonderful, such a pleasurer to watch.
Thank you for helping the horse there.
Very interesting observing two blind horses with the Hands-On chiropractic Care with verbal communication- the kinesthetic and verbal language is a pathway to communicate with these blind horses and the blind horses are showing what other horses won't and are very receptive. I hope you also treated the bay horse I think he was looking for treatment as well as to socialize with his friend. Great work. God bless
Thank you for watching!
Such a sweet thing to witness. ❤️💕 Thank you Doc, for sharing your gift with these wonderful creatures. 💕
