| 1. What you
will learn: The seminars are primarily two day "hands-on"
horse adjusting clinics unless otherwise noted. All of the
horse adjustments are done by hand---NO MALLETS or any other
instrument is used. Sometimes during the horse adjusting seminars,
I will go over several dog adjusting moves. Most of the dog
adjustments are done by hand, but you will also learn how
to perform a very simple but effective adjusting sequence
using a professional chiropractic tool (metal mallet).
You will also learn how to perform The Pre-Race Adjusting
Sequence. This is used primarily on horses and can be used
right before the race. In many cases, using this sequence
can cut a full second off the time!
2. Can smaller people adjust horses? Yes, and again, yes!
Just because a horse is big does not mean you have to use
brute force to manipulate their spines. Speed is the essential
skill. Remember, chiropractors do not position a bone from
one point to another--rather, they restore normal joint function
by transferring motion from their body into their patient's
body.
3. What is a fair price to charge, or pay for a horse adjustment?
The average fee a chiropractor charges for a single horse
adjustment is $75.00. Dogs, usually around $35.00. This fee
is only for the adjustment and not for the exam or traveling.
There are some horse chiropractors around the country that
charge as much as $200.00 or higher just for the adjustment.
In my opinion, $200.00 is excessive and such a chiropractor
would be taking advantage of his patient, who probably has
no one else to turn to.
