                                  I’VE GOT PEOPLE

In the world of today, with the hectic scheduling of work, school, family and friends, we find ourselves more and more dependent on “Our People” to help with daily tasks.  “Our People” do the gardening, clean the house, do the laundry, buy the groceries, take the kids to and from school, keep our books, make appointments for us, keep track of our daily schedules, take care of our health needs and do personal shopping for us.  In some cases we also have personal trainers, massage therapists, chiropractors, and even dog walkers.  If we need it done, there are “People” to do it for us.

Our equine friends now find themselves in the unique position of “Having People” too.  They have equine Chiropractors, Ferriers, Nutritionists, Massage Therapists, Horse Nannies, Dentists, Equine Ambulance Services, Equine Hospitals, Veterinarians and Personal Trainers.

In this section, I am delivering you the results of my interviews with professionals from these fields.  My goal is, as always, to help give you more information from a professional point of view and assist you in making an informed decision in regard to your horse’s needs.  I invite you to take part in this section, by contacting me, with respect to any personal interest you may have and if I haven’t done so all ready, I will be glad to schedule an interview with a professional to help answer your personal concerns.

EQUINE CHIROPRACTICS

The use of equine chiropractics is fairly new in the horse world, but is gaining in popularity.  There is still much controversy as to whether it really works or not. My own personal experience has shown me that when chiropractic is needed, and performed by a professional equine chiropractor, it does indeed work. I strongly advise, that if you are considering chiropractics for your horse, to have him examined by your vet first.  If he concurs, then ask him for a recommendation as to the equine chiropractor of his choice.  I find that it is extremely important for these two team members to work in harmony together.  For that matter, all of the members of your horse’s team must work in harmony together.  But just like any team, there must be a captain.  In this case, the captain of your horse’s team must be your veterinarian.

In this interview, I have chosen to speak with Dr. Butch Quay.  Dr. Quay is a member of the Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association, and is a Doctor of Chiropractic. He was recommended to me by my Veterinarian several years ago and he has been performing chiropractic adjustments for my client’s horses, as well as my own, ever since.  I enjoy a good working relationship with Dr. Quay and he works very closely with my vet, Ferrier, and any other team members that my vet thinks will be of benefit to the horse. 

Since Dr. Quay has been adjusting my client’s horses, I have seen a dramatic improvement in the level of their performance and demeanor.  My clients think that Dr. Quay is a miracle worker, and all of his equine clients love him.

Dr. Quay has graciously consented to this interview, in the endeavor of promoting a better understanding of the use of chiropractics in the equine industry.
