  • The patient today is Dakota, an American Paint (breed) 18 years old, who has a little tenderness in the withers, causing extreme twitching. Tight hamstring, misaligned poll, and lower cervicals, too.
    Here is Dakota's first video: • 🐴 RESCUE HORSE with PA...
    RISING STARR HORSE RESCUE saves, rehabilitates, retrains and rehomes abandoned, neglected or abused horses and educate about at-risk horses and the importance of protecting them.
    By giving America's horses a second chance at life we give the community the chance to experience the love, patience and compassion horses have for humans.
    When Kelly Stackpole decided to open her barn to teach noncompetitive horse lessons in 2005, her goal was to bring her passion and love for these incredible animals to others and guide them toward finding a similar love and connection to horses. She did not expect, while looking for horses to fill her barn, to discover that young, sound and healthy horses as well as older horses were being disregarded and often sent off to slaughter. As soon as she became aware that any of the animals beloved to her were not treated in a humane way, she found another mission, and Rising Starr Horse Rescue was born.
    Rising Starr relies on a group of talented and specialized veterinarians, chiropractors, staff, and volunteers who work together to approach each horse’s rehabilitation. This team of dedicated individuals ensures that every horse becomes healthy, happy, and confident before moving on to its new home.
    Beyond restoring comfort and care to these horses, our purpose at Rising Starr is to inform others about the cruelty of horse slaughter while providing guidance on how to decrease the number of unwanted horses in the United States.
    Every member of our program treats all of our horses with the love and respect they deserve - it's their passion. Our volunteers include many teens and children, as we hope that by raising children that are thoughtful and caring about the treatment of horses, we will have the biggest impact on the future of America's horses.  Not only does RSHR have a Dedicated board but we are developing a Youth board to continue our work in the future.

    I love how the horse is so honest. Sometimes I feel like people give positive response to chiro work partially because they want to believe in it. Or that they are on camera. Can you trust it?
    But the horse doesn’t lie. You can see the visible difference in the honest response. No agenda. Just results. I love these horse videos, Dr.

    camera is keeping the horses attention. I was at a graduation party that was entertaining the kids with very short pony rides throughout the yard. It was a beautiful little stallion. Several kids had taken a short , tethered stroll through the shade trees when all of the sudden the horse reared and threw a little boy. No harm done , he just kinda rolled off. It seems that one of the kids in the group was using a drone about 30 yards away and everyone watched the horse lock attention immediately. They are aware of everything around them. Everything!

    Furthermore, I visited a great Chiropracter a few years ago (here in the UK), so not only can I relate to the sense of relief (I also felt a sense of Bliss afterward, hard to express, but a great side effect!) But I shall also make a point of booking myself an appointment as soon as finances allow. In my experience, worth every penny.

    I rub and feel of my animals all the time. It seems automatic and then one day, all of a sudden, there is a reaction to something that I have touched. It is comforting to watch you work. I feel gratitude for what you do for the animals. GOD bless

    Dakota is so beautiful. He looks just like my Diamond boy did in the face with those kind eyes. I’ve had many horses in my life so far but I had a special connection with Diamond. Sadly, he died about 4 years ago but it was good to be reminded of him today.

    This poor horse had so many twitches, I felt really sorry for him.
    I like how gentle the Dr talked to the horse, and felt him all over to find these muscles knots. Whatever the Dr did must have helped the horse,
    because at the end he laid his head on the Drs shoulder. The horse knew the Dr helped him. nice to watch, when the horse fells better.

    It's amazing to see, that after you fix just 1 thing, the horse realizes that you are there to help not hurt, and the trust factor, even after abusive situations, they relax into the treatment,. But if you hit a sensitive area, with no voice, they can still communicate, *Hey Doc, that's tender!* I always love to see the moment of relaxation come over the horse, dog, cat, bird, pig or whatever animal it is. You can physically "feel" the release for them if that makes sense Doc. I have a question for you though. We have a Siberian Husky/Yellow Labrador Cross. When he's feeling well, his nose is moist, but warm to the touch. And he has a very sporadic vomiting issue, his nose then becomes cold and dry. Could I try that gastric relief pressure point on him to help him? Or would that make the issue worse. He is 8 years old. In great health, no hip issue, (I know, because as a former breeder of a large breed dog, the vet showed me how to check his hips), there is zero resistance in range of motion forward or back on all four. Just the periodic vomiting. So again, my question is, as a second degree martial artist and knowing pressure points, I wonder if that upper GI Pressure point would help or hinder him. Best Regards and Stay Safe Everyone!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. Thanks Doc for answering my questions, I greatly appreciate it!! 💖 💖 💖 🇨🇦

    • @AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen

      Hi Jenn, thank you for watching this one, and part of the adventure for me is to bond with the horse,(or other animals), or build a bridge of trust. I have a long way to go, but I'm getting better every month.
      I think you should definitely try to find your Husky/Labs Pressure point. It's not an exact science, if you get near the point, and palpate, you can find the spot. Then hold it for a long time. I would do it every day for awhile, and keep feeling his nose, too. It won't make him worse. He will love it. I bet you will see results, too!
      Let me know.
      Doc

    I am scared of horses bc I have had first hand experience with how powerful they are. When you walked behind the horse I almost threw my phone. I am so glad that the baby "knew" you were trying to help bc that could have been some power thrown your way. Learning the horse language is helping me be not so afraid and since i have to do horse therapy for my kids, I am going to go binge watch some more horse from you. Thank you.
