    When you are in pain, nothing is right, nothing. When you are an animal and cannot tell someone that you hurt and where you hurt, it must feel like an impossible situation. Mr. Crothers, because of his expertise and his great ability to observe, is a lifesaver to horses.

      As someone who has suffered from chronic back pain for over 40 years, I can tell you it is very difficult to function at times and I can communicate my discomfort. I can only imagine the horrible life it must be to live when expectations exceed your ability to achieve regards how simple they may seem to someone who can not relate.

    Horses can definitely act out because of pain, mine was labelled "dangerous" and unridable; I even had farrier, trainers, etc. telling me to put him down. A major problem was he had unusually high withers and a "steepled" back rather than a flattish or round one. He fought the saddle as soon as you tried to put it on. I found an old McLellan-type saddle for him that worked wonders; it didn't touch the center of the horse's back but rests on either side of the backbone, ( it must fit the individual horse). Always worth trying to figure out if the horse is comfortable.

      @@bungodancereadie8018 It's obvious that you don't understand body language, have ANY understanding of chiropractology, or horsemanship.
      Yes, he was handsy, but that comes from knowing that the horse isn't an idiot and understands what you're asking him to do.
      Have you ever had nerve pain? Because if you ever had a vertebra out of alignment, you would understand the body language, the movements to reset the alignment, and the obvious relief.
      Horses don't "slip" in a lunge in sawdust at a trot unless there is a severe physical issue...or there's ice. I didn't see any snow in the barn....anyone else see that horribly "slippery" spot of ice?
      lol
      Honestly. How do you watch the horses behavior change so drastically after getting worked on and think it's the handler?

    Sad I didn't find this sooner. First western trainer I've seen ever address this issue, this way - kudos! Tired of watching 'problem' horses run ragged in the round pen. (Monty Hall, et all...)
    I was lucky enough to witness this type of 'pain vs behavior' treatment in the UK in the mid 1980s. Came back to US a few years later and had to really search it out as no one had heard of this approach. Unfortunately, it's still few and far between among anything other than almost Olympic calibre training facilities, and still mostly in Europe and by European trainers/riders.
    Pain should be taken into consideration whenever horses act out.

    Great Video. To all those nay-sayers....I've had a bad back on/off for the last 20 years, and I felt just like the horse! When the physical therapist would push his thumb in the right place (the sore spot) I'd feel like he had just stabbed me with a knife and my whole body would just about jump off the table. In the video, he's using a piece of wood to find the sore spots, probably because a horses hide is much thicker than human skin, so he needs more pressure to find them. I give this guy tons of credit. Chiropractic adjustment can be very uncomfortable, the relief comes later. But you can't tell a horse that, the horse has to learn to trust that he'll live through this, and the relief will come later. Great job guy!!!

      Not to disappoint you but horse skin (hide) is way thicker than that of humans. Which is why centuries ago people of many nations including ours had to use skins aka hides for their clothing and as material for the structures they lived in. Tepees etc, using buffalo, their horses when they died etc. The people of old did NOT live in structures made of super thin skin/hides like Bubba's butt. Sorry, you could have used Charmin or Viva & made better sense.

  • @troonharrison2610

    It wasn't discussed in the video, but I noticed that this horse carried its tail up and out, stiffly. After treatments, the tail was carried normally, hanging straight down softly. I have observed this many times in a horse in spinal pain. If the tail isn't right, seems the spine isn't right. Once everything is softly in alignment, the tail hangs properly. So if you think your horse has pain, check the tail.

    I watched this video in fascination. I am not at all experienced with horse behaviour, and the knowledgable reader may well laugh at my thoughts; but I think if this were just a mean or malicious horse, then he'd be fighting hard against this man. But with all the pain this animal is experiencing, he's really being very sweet. He comes right back to the trainer/chiropractor after each incident. If I were having such pain and someone was deliberately hurting those sore spots, I'd be cranky and maybe even bite back ;-) . But this horse doesn't do any of that, just attempts to get away from the pain. And yes, he has understandibly learned poor manners through all of that. I'm so pleased that this dear horse finally found someone who was able to correctly diagnose the real problem. It touched my heart to see the care this man had for this horse, and the horses' response. And kudos to the owner for not giving up on this lovely animal!

  • @ZaCloud-Animations___she-her

    To all the people who think this man is a lousy trainer and that the horse is scared... please read this before complaining:
    Did you even watch the video and listen to his commentary? He's a chiropractor, not a trainer. Do you expect your doctor to treat you the same as your boss or friend? He's simply showing how to spot pain in a horse rather than chalking it up as bad behavior, finding out where the horse hurts, then addressing the out of place joints by popping them back into alignment. You can sometimes hear the popping if you listen carefully. By the third pop, you can see the horse start to realize it's helping. They still edge away since the popping is still new and intense, but eventually they tolerate it. Then at the end, you can see their smoother gait and more relaxed posture.
    If you care about horses, then you should be overjoyed to see a medical professional educate everyone that "problem" horses may just be in pain, and showing how fixing those issues can be quick and simple... then resulting in the horse feeling better. :)

Watch it again and keep your eye on this hands and you can see him slipping something back in his pocket I don't know what it is but it wasn't the Sandpaper things he have on his hands. It was in his right pocket I believe. I believe he was hurting the horse was something else. I'm not denying the horse was in pain I'm just saying that I believe that he was using something else besides the sandpaper his strength.

It's amazing how many idiots laughed at the chiropractic treatments and healing techniques back then that have been practiced in other parts of the world for over 4,000 years. And for the same reasons Herbal Medicine is all but outlawed in America. It's all about learning to recognize the body language.

    I'm not a horse person, but I have human medical training. Right at the beginning of the video (after the tie up), you can see the horse walking gingerly and lopsidedly on its hind feet, picking one up and favoring one side. I couldn't tell if it was a tender hoof or a spinal problem at that point, but it definitely looked off.
    Later in the video, when part of the neck and hip pain is relieved, you can see how good natured the animal is and not highstrung at all, letting the chiropractor tap and adjust the rest of his pain with little fuss. I'm impressed.

  • @Galemor1
    @Galemor1 5 років тому +3

    It's a beautiful horse..
    Many off his painproblems, seems to come from the very popular rollkur training, which put exctreme pressure on these points of the horses body. I am glad the new owner was willing to give this horse a better future, finding his problems and getting them fixed.
    My mare wasn't a problem horse, but she had been ridden very thight by her previous rider, so she had a lot of tension built up in her body, I did get some off just by riding on long reins and asking her to stretch as much as she could, like when trotting, she could trot as fast as she wanted to, but she wasn't allowed to switch to gallop, and that really helped. But she still had some issues/stiffness/tension, which I later found out was because she had artirithis in her back legs. (didn't remeber the legal term, but where bone grow a bridge and makes her joints less flexible) anyway, I didn't know, the previous owner didn't tell me about it and I had a guy do this, finding her hurting points and fix them, but she didn't always get better, and that was because he didn't know about the condition (since I didn't know and therefore hadn't told him) so what I am trying to say, is: Make sure to have a vet check your horse, take x-rays and stuff, so when you have someone helping you, they are aware and can do things differently.
    Again beautiful horse.

  • @mdee860
    @mdee860 4 роки тому +1

    Thank you for being a SMART, KIND chiropractor. I think this horse has neck damage & nerve damage. His back legs seem like borderline neuropathy or sciatica? Poor baby, he's so nice when nothing is hurting him. My ex-racehorse had a nerve too close to the skin in girth area. Once out of every 200 saddling up - if the girth was forward/ off by 1/4 inch - he would spasm & go ballistic, stiff front legs, almost falling down, whites of his eyes, etc. I had to quickly reach in to immediately loosen the girth & then everything would return to normal. I do wonder how many times he was beaten for his spasm at the race track??

    I wish more people would look at pain for equine behavioral issues. I can’t imagine how miserable this sweet horse has felt. It floored me when he showed immediate pain relief by licking his lips after the first adjustment at the poll. Big thumbs up for this video. BUT I wondered how a horse that won’t take a saddle has muscle development in his rear end and canter muscles over his croup. Then I’m pretty sure I heard him say they lunge him for a ‘couple of hours’!!! Running in small circles for more than a few minutes can cause anatomical problems in the most sound horses (or any person/animal). Especially one that doesn’t have self carriage. I hope I misunderstood him. He seems like he is a great gift to horses. But if they really are lunging him for ‘a couple hours’, he’s lucky to be as sound as he is.

    Ed Crothers Is this horse a Tennessee Walker? I ask because I've known several dark bay Walkers like this horse that went through "big lick" show "training" that's typically abusive both physically and psychologically. I think they come from the same small group of so called trainers and from similar blood lines.
    The horses not only have anxiety but seem to have full on panic attacks. They seem well trained but it's out of fear not trust and mutual communication.
    Just a hunch I've picked up on in the last few decades with a certain line of horses from the same general area. I think this group of horses suffer mentally as well as physically from being beaten with 2x4s and doing exagerated gates under saddle, like the "big lick".
    In my experience they benefit greatly from letting them heal mentally by helping them relax, trust, taking some demand and pressure off and just letting them be horses for a bit while you're helping them relax and trust and healing them physically.
    You do good work by thinking outside of the box and trying to understand horses better.
    Peace

      WhenTheWindigoComes - the Big Lick style training is mechanical, hoof length, heavy shoes, chains on ankles, plus chemical irritation to create conditioned foot snapping response. They literally take a pacer and square their gait into a hyperextendended running walk. I have fought against "training" practice this for 40+ years. The pain points are similar to the racing standardbred

      Absolutely, Mr. Crothers! Thank you for your contribution to the Equine world! Having owned, raised and trained my Anglo Arabian from a colt, there is more than meets the eye on a horse's behavior as it relates to their well-being. Animals cannot TELL us - but they can Show us~ Their recovery in health and training depends upon the human's knowledge, sensitivity and patience, powers of observance... and experience as to their success in becoming or returning to a well dispositioned and collected animal. Suffering is not allowed in my book!! So wonderful, what you are doing and have accomplished, ~ Thank You!!

    He is a beautiful animal... I am happy that he found the release from the pain that he needed. More people need to understand that horses cannot tell you that they hurt. its up to the owners to find out why they are doing certain behaviors. my very first thing that I do when I get a horse in, or buy a horse is to go over the basics on the ground and check for any pain signs... if you do not pay attention to this, there is no sense in trying to train the horse, as you can do more damage and cause bad "learned" behaviors that can be difficult to fix.

After we found out about animal chiropractic we have had that horse worked on two times per year spring and fall. He spent last summer at a kids camp being ridden by 10year old kids he’s completely different now then before we know some of this stuff. All our horses get one treatment per year just the problem horse gets two treatments.

Remember this horse would sooner or later be dead meat if it wasn't for Mr.Crothers. Whatever that isn't hurting will be for the better. This is obviously healing enough to relax the horse in a very short period of time.

    I’m sure I’m gonna get feedback from this but I’m going to say anyway. First of all I’ve had to have two spinal cord Surgeries due to the fact that I’m a firefighter/paramedic and destroyed my neck and my lumbar area. Who do you think diagnosed both of them? A chiropractor. When I went to regular doctors they kept saying there was nothing wrong. Fast forward to both MRIs and guess what ?then all of a sudden the doctors were willing to help me. So I guess I’m a little partial to human chiropractors. But I dated a guy that was an excellent chiropractor who only worked with emergency services people so he was very into spine etc. he also was a horse chiropractor. A very well known one.He did race horses, showhorses etc. And I went with him a couple of times and let me tell you after he adjusted them they would actually nuzzle him and love on him. I understand both sides but there are legitimate and very helpful chiropractors out there. For both humans and animals.

    I had a horse that was identical to all of the issues and pain this horse exhibits. Unfortunately, neither veterinarians, chiropractors, nutritionists did not have any consensus. Unfortunately, by the time I stopped listening to the "experts" and went by my "gut," (which was a lot or reading and research) - it was too late. We often just don't listen with our eyes wide open. The Cushings medication caused a very adverse reaction. Too bad we sometimes only learn from our mistakes. I recognized the things going on with this horse immediately as the signs were identical.

    he has possibly hurt himself by going backwards, both at the poll and his back-bone - has someone put the rope "over his wither and inbetween his front legs for the pulling at halter problem? What a nice frightened horse hope they take more time and show him no more pain...I once purchase a throughbred off Tack, could not go near his poss for a year! till he learned to trust. does not happen FAST. questions should these adjustments not go on both sides?

    This is not a training video this is a chiropractic release video. The moves he is making are to identify where the pain is, he has to locate based on the type of movements that trigger. He says clearly enough that the owner sent this horse to MANY trainers and none could fix his issues because it was thought behavioral. He says the owner will tire this horse out for 2 hours to get it to comply finally to saddle etc. That is a clueless owner! This guy has literally just saved this horses life. This horse has been put through the ringer with neck pain, back pain and hip out of joint. Also it has an ulcer and needs different feed and medication. Anyone who actually watched and listened to this entire video could not in any way deduce this was abusive or quackery, unless you are mentally unstable and have too much of an ego to learn something. Thank GOD for compassionate people who are willing to listen and watch the body language of the animal instead of beating it into submission. All the training in the world wouldn’t have fixed what was wrong with this beautiful horse. Well done and yes the audio would be better if it was on a mike on the person and not on the camera. Bless your continued healing of animals.

    I had a friend many years ago and she had a 16.1 Irish X , he was long in the body , he had a similar Gait in the hind quarters, to this Quarter Horse (although the Quarter horse is far more compact , you can clearly see how his top line is causing other pain points.) this was same for friends horse , a Veterinarian was called out to examine him and Vet diagnosed a he had a tilted pelvis, he would never move correctly, on contacting the Dealer who sold him to her, she said when he was a youngster and playing in field with others young stock, he slipped up and rolled out and up onto his hind quarters, from this one single incident that did not cause any pain or obvious symptoms , at this time his bones were still supple and growing, as he aged the tilt in his pelvis became more obvious , so his breeding and the incident meant he would be perfectly able to be used as a general riding horse and nothing more , no jumping , dressage, just hacking he never had any other Top Line Problems that stemmed from this, unlike the poor chap in the video. and being more compactly built it is inevitable he would have other alignment issues up to his poll . I do hope owner did seek veterinarian help had him scanned , bloods etc., was a very interesting Video and i have seen chiropractors work on horses backs before with some marvellous outcomes. Although i must admit i have never seen any using tools as this man did. Not saying it is wrong if he is Trained , but was interesting to see how he took this pain approach into why the horse was playing up, and not just assuming it was training issues, nice Video interesting watch , yes the Horse did look to be moving better afterwards. but i suspect it was short lived and more session of therapy were required.

And if he is in pain then why is he being worked? Nothing wrong with this horses its the people. Bet he is stalled most of the time too.

  • @hoofhearted3035

    He's leaning on the rope because you have a web halter on. When ever he jumps back or moves away you take away the pressure...so he's learning that the pressure goes away when he moves away or jumps back. They are motivated by pressure but learn from the correctly timed release of that pressure. You probably already know this, but you're not practicing it. Poor horse.

  • @hoofhearted3035
    @hoofhearted3035 6 років тому

    He starts to rear because he has not been taught to lower his head. He's head shy because no one worked on that with him (in small steps). He has not been taught to stay out of your personal space. Snapping the lead rope does not help to get him out of your space, because your arm length cannot change. You can back him up but not without going with him; therefore, he has not gotten out of your space. Maybe he does have pain, but I'm sorry, no one has worked on ground manners. No one has been his leader that he respects. He crowds you. He jumped around even before you touched his stomach. Cheers.
