RESCUE HORSE with LOW BACK PAIN gets GENTLY ADJUSTED by CHIROPRACTOR!

- Amigo is an 18 year old draft-cross (breed) that Christine personally adopted after she rescued him herself from slaughter. Christine is the founder of Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue in Mt. Airy, Maryland. Amigo has a tender lower back and Dr. Doug Willen, The Animal Cracker, gives Amigo a gentle thorough chiropractic adjustment.
Breed Description
Draft crosses come in many sizes, colors, and configurations. A cross is generally the progeny of any draft breed mare, such as a Blegian or Percheron, bred with a light breed stud, such as a Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse. The crosses are generally lighter boned and more spirited than the pure draft, and are often used for riding, jumping, dressage, and "light" harness work, such as showing and eventing.
Romance (and history) have it that all of our draft breeds descended from the age of knights in armor. They needed heavy, powerful mounts and the Great Horse of Flanders (a common ancestor to several breeds) provided the genetic material. The knights, encased in heavy armor on horseback, became the tanks of their time. They were later rendered obsolete by gunpowder, another element of the industrial revolution.
Be it for whatever reason - public appeal, versatility, practicality or economy - what was once regarded as an artifact of history has today become a tool of choice for many. The breed registries in this country confirm that it is growing. Any genome that has survived first gunpowder and then industrialization, can survive darn near anything. And survive is what the draft horse industry has done.

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue was formed to facilitate the rescue of Draft and Draft Cross horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect.
The Primary Function of the Rescue
GGDHR promotes the benefits and uses of Draft horses of all breeds as trail mounts, schooling mounts, and competition mounts. We educate the public through the use of brochures, pamphlets, and public presentations on the topics of: horse slaughter and cruelty, the responsibilities of horse ownership, the over-population and over-breeding of horses, and how over-breeding contributes to the horse slaughter industry. Learn more about our educational outreach here.
Slaughter is a highly profitable market and most of the public is unaware that the buyers for the slaughterhouses frequent public auctions to purchase their horses. We attend the same public auctions, choose the Draft horses we feel are the most viable candidates for rescue, and then outbid the meat buyer.
We transport the horses to our facility, where the horses are quarantined for a minimum of 21 days for illness. During that time, we begin to evaluate each individual horse and learn its personality and training level on the ground and under saddle. We ride the horses under many different circumstances, and evaluate for what level of rider the horse would best be suited. During this time, the horse also receives any necessary veterinary care, farrier care, dental care, and training.
When the horses have completed their quarantine, they are available to be placed into adoptive homes under a strict contract. The horses are advertised on our website and on the internet to help find suitable adoptive homes. Each horse is evaluated with its prospective adopter, and if we feel the horse and rider are a suitable match for one another, then the adopter may apply to adopt that horse. At that time, GGDHR would perform a background and reference check, and may at times also conduct home visits, if deemed necessary.
GGDHR is primarily funded by adoption fees, private donations, and sponsorships which facilitate the rescue of future draft horses from slaughter.

It’s great to see Amigo getting better.🤗
Yeah! Amigo! Lovely one ☺️🙏🏻
Doctor, what a great job helping the horse today. Thank you for your time and service. I truly wish more docs..like you would give to the animals. It would be so wonderful❣️
You were so patient with Amigo Doc! I love how you allow the animals to set their own limits as to what they can take that day. You are respectful of both your human and animal patients!
Thanks Megan, I appreciate the comment. I know that I rush sometimes, It's hard when you have 143 horses and the most I can do is 2 per hour. I only got to about 20 on this visit. But I also feel a sense of "get going, get going" because I need to spread some love to as many horses as possible. I don't charge when I go to a rescue farm.
13:24 Love his reaction when you asked “Do you feel that Amigo?” 😄 Thank you as always Doc for giving up so much time and effort to help these animals!
My pleasure! Thanks Aimee!
I appreciate how much you have refined your approach with the horses. Asking to work with them, much calmer energy , letting them sniff your booster box.... bravo. I perceive an enormous difference. Great to see your growth. 💞🙏🏻💞
I’m so happy that you decided to continue your education to help these beautiful animals, large and small. Growing up we had horses and never thought that they might be in pain. My dads dad raised draft horses here in Minnesota and was told he loved and treated his horses better than his wife and 13 kids. His horses were sought after. We have a few animal chiropractors here in MN.
I liked your Jinga analogy.
Hola Amigo! El Doctor Willen realmente arregló bien! Grandes ajustes Doc! 🐶💯
The thoracic adjustments are just extremely satisfying but nice work with the atlas and cervicals too! You made a new friend in Amigo, Doc!
Hahaha, thank you Calvin, I love your spanish! Bravo!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Dad taught me. He took 8 years of it between HS and College! Haha!
@@CalvinTheBostonTerrierist Wow, a bilingual dog!
It was funny when you kept coming closer, he kept moving away and finally when you got to him at 12:42, Amigo still wasn’t having it and thought I’m done for today. Have a nice 👍weekend Dr Willen
Hi Emma, yes, I tried, and Amigo kept moving. I have to go with the flow. I try to do as much as I can, and then it's time to stop. Thank you for watching this video! Dr. Doug
💕💓💞 thank you for helping this wonderful horse. 💕😇🌈
What a wonderful doctor I wish you could work on me ☺️
“I’m going to do a little deep tissue” Amigo thinks not! A few humans would like to walk away in that moment too!
So true!! Nobody wants the elbow. I'm glad you got to see this one Vaga, especially with the elbow moment! :)
I love how Amigo keeps looking to his owner for reassurance. He really trust’s her.
So true, it was great to have her assist me.
Thank you so much for another great video!!
Awww, thank you Alex! I liked working with Amigo, I hope it shows.
What patience you have to have to get a result ! Well worth it !
Yes, some times it takes a little longer, and you also have to know when to stop. I'm always learning.
on-screen text: ...at the *canter*
At the "canner" is what he was rescued from ;)
I'm sorry, I missed the moment, can you clarify Darla, please? Doc
I'm a little confused about this. Isn't Christine saying that she notices the sore back when the horse is cantering? If so, then the word "canter" would be correct, but I admit I don't know very much about horses and am here trying to learn more. If someone can explain that would be great!
@@NarielleD5388 The word Canter is the verb. The Gerund form, Cantering is used commonly in colloquial speech. But you are correct in thinking it doesn't need the "ing" form to express "Canter" as a verb. However, that being said, you will hear it a lot.
I think you will hardly ever hear (cantering) in the UK for example. " In the UK, it would be simply... "The horses set off at a canter" The phrase "the horse is cantering" is not grammatically correc or necessary, but it is a common colloquial phrase here in the states.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen ok, so then the word should be "canter" and not "canner"?
Oh, I see what you are saying. We had a typo in editing. Sorry. I hope you can get past that when you watch the video.
This horse reminds me of Ben. He liked to play rough always giving me a bump with his head but never hard enough to put me on my ass. I'd give him a hard shove, he'd snort and I'd laugh and give him a treat.
Another success. Yeah😇💕🌈
Oy.. L-%. That's the one that got me, too, buddy.
I always wonder why there is a difference between a horse killed for food for a person overseas is worse than for an animal to eat. To me, both reasons are equal, and making money off a pet you no longer want but don't want to give a second chance at life in the care of someone willing to take the burden of rehabilitation on.
❤️❤️❤️🐴
Hi Dida, thanks for being here! Hope you have a great weekend!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Hi doc, hope you have a great weekend as well 🙂
Watching all these videos. I want MY atlas done! 🤪
When you worked on his atlas at 4:18 you said he was chewing and that was a good thing. Is that similar to a dog when it shakes itself off after being adjusted? The breed description and info on this big beauty made this video quite informative as well as interesting. Adios Amigo.
Yes, my teachers, who are Vets, told me that the licking and chewing on the horse, and the shaking with the dog is pretty much the same. It is the animal showing an acceptance or integration of the work.
Usually horses do that when releasing anxiety/stress. A reset. You will see it when something “scary” happened but they didn’t die.
Some people believe they are processing something they just learned.
@@lesasmith427 Very very interesting. Thanks!

My parents had 3 horses when I was less than 3 years old. Jocko, Jambo and Amigo. Long story short, Amigo is a very "cool" name for a horse. Loving kindness and lots of prayers your way Amigo. I am glad you have such a loving mom.
That‘s awesome, I like that, thanks for sharing.
Another neat horse. Good to see his pain reduced.
Hi J, Amigo is great! Thanks for watching this one!
Never ever get tired of watching you work your magic! Gorgeous baby
The other horse is watching closely. She's like "oh oh me me plz!!" 😆
🥰🥰
It's natural instinct for horses not to like things high up, because predators used to attack from above. These horses are very accepting but you need to keep the natural instincts in mind. They've been through enough.
If I lived near Doug he would deffinatley be my chiropractor. I just love his work and I am desperate for my first ever adjustment. At 59 years old my body is a bit worse for ware. I hill walked, cycled, swam, and worked as a horse wrangler here in Scotland. My poor old body has seen some abuse and injuries lol now I think it's time for some tender loving care and maintenance lol xxx
Amigo is beautiful. Definitely a gentle giant. Great work Doc! 👍🙏😊
Many thanks, how are you Haarsha, hope you are well!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Hey Doc, all well thank you. I am meeting an animal chiropractor tomorrow to treat Mary Nikita. I am looking forward to seeing how that will go. Hope you are well too, Doc! 😊
@@haarshabalraj Please let me know! Good luck!
Maybe he’s seen your other videos where you use your “killer” elbow and he’s saying “No way!! Lol.
That's true, Amigo knew about the elbow!!
Christina, I love your comments ❤
@@jacqueykoo517 lol thanks! 😁
Nope! No deep tissue massage today. Maybe when you come back. 🤗
@Lv11 he said he needed to come back in 2 weeks
Haha, I know, it wasn't going to happen. I'm always exploring, and learning lessons as I go thru each patient.
At work rn but when immoff watching yr vids they are that good
Hi X, thanks for watching, I'm trying to consistently put out 3 videos per week on both channels. I'm so glad you are enjoying them. Doc
I just found your channel.
I never knew there was such a thing as chiropractic for horsies (insert embarrassed face)
I’ve often wondered while rubbing and touching about the uneven feel on either side of the spine. I obviously know nothing but I bet a realignment is needed.
Hi Juliann, thanks for checking out my newest channel. I love working with horses and other animals. I am posting an average of 3 videos per week. I hope you can come back! Dr. Doug
I have never and would never knowingly eat horse's for me it like taking a bite out of my pet cat. These are my two favourite animals cats and horse's.
