ANIMAL CRACKER READS BODY LANGUAGE of HORSE and DELIVERS ADJUSTMENT! (PART 2 OF 2)

- Animal Cracker, Dr. Doug Willen, reads the body cues of Pixie, and adjusts the poll, TMJ, hip, lumbars and C6.The hips adjustment is pretty loud in this video.
Pixie, is a "Super Spokes-Person/Horse". She is a rescue horse that was surrendered to Rising Starr Horse Rescue. She is a permanent resident at Rising Starr. She has been working hard doing public events, visiting nursing homes, schools and parades helping educated people about responsible horse ownership!
HERE IS PIXIE'S FIRST CHIRO SESSION: • ACHEY TENDER JAW (TMJ)...
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.

She's giving him a run for his money. She's going to test, test, test. Beautiful little lady.
Hi Sara, yes she pushed me good!
:)
The other horse was telling Pixie to let Dr. Doug work his magic. What a beautiful little Rabicano Sorrel.
Haha, thanks Kathleen. I'm so glad you could be here. Yes, Rabicano Sorrel is a perfect call!
I love when you explain everything as you adjust cause not everyone understand it but you’re a great 👍teacher. No matter who you work on, people or animals, you always do an awesome 👏job. Have a nice 👍week doc
I appreciate that! Thank you sooo much Emma. Please send my best to Mark!
Well that was one feisty girl! She said stop touching my face. 😆 the way her head was going i thought she might just get ya. Good job as always Dr.Doug
Thank you Dellzy! I kept trying. She was testing me!
Poor Pixie was having a Helluva day 😞💔 Hopefully Dr.W was able to give her some RELIEF ‼️😉👍💖
I tried, I think we got to a good place by the end.
You have the patience of Job and I admire you. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom. ☮️💖🙏
Thank you J! I appreciate the kind words!
Dr. Willen, I want to say thank you for these videos. I have a neck issue that needs a chiropractor, but I have PTSD and was terrified to go to a chiropractor. I tried watching human chiropractic videos to learn what to expect, but I couldn't get past the fear. Then I found you, working so gently with horses and other animals, and explaining everything as you go. It was just the exposure therapy I needed. I've watched a dozen or more now, taking in as much as I can and registering the relief on the animals' faces. Unlike humans, that can't be faked, and has given me a lot of confidence. I will be going to my husband's chiropractor on Thursday afternoon. Thank you.
I think she was tougher for you than the big horses.. Lol
She gave you a few dirty looks with those beautiful eyes of hers!!😊💖
I think so too! the smaller ones can be tougher than the big ones. Same is true for the smaller dogs.
I can't help but laugh when he says "I'm going up under the tail" because I'm a 4 year old on the inside😅
Haha, thanks Coach!
Your r kind and patient for the animals sake....I was on my stomach and when my back was adjusted ...I kicked up...lol...
Hi Janelyn, thank you for watching, and I appreciate the kind words and support!
Doc
This was probably shot during the same day as the other video (of a sensitive Arabian). I thank you for telling the woman to give some slack but in 10 seconds she kept it tight anyways. If a horse can’t move it’s head at all that also results in irritation and sometimes even more moving around, trying to get relief. You did well, kept reminding yourself to breathe. I think that she was very tender and still didn’t trust you completely. I think she will feel a lot better after a few sessions, she seems like an onion - when you peel of one layer you find more stuff, again and again. Beginning to trust you more and more. For this spicy little girl I would also recommend a session outside in a paddock and more slack on the lead, she has to be able to chew comfortably after each adjustment but if she is kept on a short leash she gets distracted (I think). Great video as always! ❤️🙏🏻
Hi Pernilla, couldn't agree more. Thank you
I could feel the tension in the lead too. That tension translates to the horse. The woman should take deep breaths to help her to relax and connect to the horse. This helps in massage therapy too.
You said several things I am in agreement with as well. I immediately thought that another, quieter place was needed for this horse to be adjusted. Outside would be great, but maybe the weather wasn't cooperating.
Wow! What concentration, Dr. DOUG & Michelle! Not only are the horses intense, the humans are even noisier!! But you got lots done, despite them all. You rock!
Wow. She became so calm after the last adjustment 👏
As a nurse for humans more than 30 years this horse is like many people who hope against hope that if they ignore it, it will go away. Denial, it’s often the first symptom of illness. 🤷🏼♀️
Horse is extra squirly and expressive with her head THATS for sure!
Hi Simone, thank you for your 30 years of service. I agree. Prey, animals will really disconnect from pain, too.
Pixie has learn that she can say no and get away with it lol with people less determined than Doug lol xxx
I applaud you... that pony was really testing your patience!!
Hi Jess, yes, I got tested that day. Thanks for watching!
I've had a rough week; I came home tonight, watched almost 3 of these videos, fell asleep on the couch, total wipe-out, woke up, 11 pm news was on, tablet was almost dead,...Thanks, Doc, for cracking me too, I feel so relaxed and well rested! Thanks for what you do for these animals...and us, apparently, by proxy. 😁😀😙
I'm working at a stable with around 25 horses - depending on how many guests hiring - and it's amazing to see these videos and learn more. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, me and my boss don't have time to spend on more education for me at the moment as we have so much work to do without help, so I had no idea chiropractic could do this much for horses.
I love how calm and secure you are with them and how one can see when they feel relief like "Oh, it... it doesn't hurt??? Anymore?? Well... thanks, human!"
Thanks for posting this!!!
When my uncle had his horses Unfortunately some of them passed away & he only had two left & Unfortunately they got stolen cos at the time horses were being stolen & killed at the time & this was back in the 90s & I was really upset about it & I still think about it even now as we never ever will know what happened to them so I just hope with what happened to them that they are in a much better place & my uncle was devastated with what happened to them & now my uncle who sadly passed away a few years ago & now he's up in heaven with his babies & other family members that I've lost aswell R.I.P to my family & the animals we've lost & loved & miss you all terribly ❤🌹🌈🕊XX.
Hi Joanne, I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncle and his horses. I wish to believe that the horses and him have rejoined in heaven, and are all happy again.
How Awful ‼️😞 I'm Sorry to Hear about what You All went through 💔
I'm so sorry to hear about your family's horrible and devastating loss.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Thank you & I like to think that aswell ❤
@@TheLarainsd Thank you ❤
"don't pretend you need to eat now....". If I had a nickel for every time I heard that
She’s a spunky character! 😃
Spunky is a perfect description!
Pixie was a challenge for ya. But, you were able to calm her down towards the last. Doc, you worked your magic again! It’s nice to see you give animals relief from joint/muscle pain or discomfort.
Maybe I can get my wife to make adjustments to my back to relieve my constant pain like you did for the horse. Hope she learns how by watching your videos. But, this old plow horse has already been put out to pasture permanently.
Hi J, I feel like an old plow horse on a lot of days, too! Thank you for watching. Hope you wife can have some success with your back.
She was an expressive spunky gal!
Pixie is so Spunky, I agree! Thanks Nan!
When the white of her eye showed, “ wow Doc that was amazing” .
Hi Doc, Pixie was watching every move you made, she is beautiful
I think you need to find a more quiet , less congested area where no one is intruding in your space. The stall area is way to busy .
I think Pixie would of like more treatment but she was getting to antsy. Linda , Florida 🐴
say Hi to “ Nuggs “ can wait to see Nugget
Hi Linda, we just filmed the 6th Nugget video, so that will be coming out soon. I agree, we had too many distractions that day, we eventually moved outside.
The eye you got when you first mentioned C6, if looks could kill. I like the feisty lady. Beautiful
5:57 her face went “😳”after this amazing adjustment. That’s my face after a chiropractic visit too! ❤
Haha! Really?! Thanks for sharing Elizamaine.
What an amazing result with Pixie . My goodness you had your work cut out with her ! So much patience !
Thanks so much 😊 Elaine!
She is checking you out really good.
Yes, she was! Thanks Constance for watching this one!
Felt like I was watching Jumanji....was just waiting for someone to roll a 6 for the stampede of horses, construction workers and volunteers. Poor Pixie couldn’t have her treatment in peace. Haha!
Hahahaha, I love the Jumanji reference! That is exactly the vibe. Glad you could be here Calvin! Say hello to your Dad!
Little Pixie needs to learn some ground manners. What a cutie though.
I know, Pixie is a little challenging. She is cute!
Or someone who will make her listen and pay attention to what is going on -
Tough customer! Great job. 🌈
Yes it was! Thank you Sharp Lady, I'm glad you could be here!!
Doc
Wow, she sure needed that!🤗
Hi Beth, nice to see you here! Yes she needed that.
Howdy Doc, Pixie is giving you a work out today but I see you can handle it very well. Have a great and GOD bless you and yours!
Thanks 👍 Renate, bless you and yours, too!
The look on her face with that first adjustment shown was priceless. Cute pony. Would be adorable in harness.
Pixie was certainly thinking "oh wow! This is scary..... but scary awesome...." I could hear those cracks too. Great job Doc! 👏👏👍🙏
I’m relaxed and sleepy your voice is so calming
“I have cried twice in my life. Once when I was seven and I was hit by a school bus, and then again when I heard that Li’l Sebastian passed. His memory will live on as today we light a fire that will burn on for eternity.”
Hahaha, I love that episode, Rocky!
this was funny to me...big draft horses didn't give you as much trouble as this little pony...like a chihuahua!! the smaller...more 'temper'!! lol
So good.... Thank you.
Brilliant Video. Pixie has a lot of character.
Thanks Delia! I agree, Pixie does have a lot of character.
pony acting like a pony. I like how Dr. Doug doesnt fight or force her, just gentle and soothing.
I like how hes able to read them more so now than when he started
Hi Dr. Crackers. 💙💜❤🧡🤎💛💚
Ms. Soozie! Thank you for stopping by this evening!!
Awww she's so pretty
Hi Cheryl, yes, she is really beautiful!
Thank you Doug! Can’t wait
Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Kerry, great to have you here tonight. Hope you are well in Australia!! Thank you, thank you!
I believe that all animals respond to compassion and understanding. Your knowledge of the understanding is remarkable would you consider yourself an empath? I really enjoyed this video...with or without distractions.
Well said! I guess I am an empath.
She was such a little brat i love it
hahaha, well said!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen thanks! Its nice to see animals able to relax once the pain starts going away, but she is so tiny and dramatic its so cute. Even one of the workers said "be nice, Pixie." As they walked by! 😂 sounds like shes a troublemaker.
My goodness Doc you have a smarty on your hands to Day!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
😁 so true, so true. Thanks Joanne!
Another great job and video thanks 💖😁
Thank you Janet, I try!
So patient and calm Doug. And a Parks and Rec Sebastián reference 🙂
I wanted to tell you Dr Doug I love your approach and how you are with all the animals xxx
Hi i could see she is relaxed by the end of the treatment. ❤️
When she heard you say her name she looked.
LOL, yes she did! I noticed that when I watched it back.
This is awesome to watch!!
I'm so glad you like the videos Denise! Thank you for participating!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen I love the videos, I look forward to watching them.
At first, the horse looked so pissed:
„What is this strange man doing? Why should I be putting up with this? 😤“
Then at the first adjustment, the horse looked like it had just taken a massive bong rip ha ha ha. 😵💫
Her reaction @ 1:20...🤣🤣🤣
Like OH, that's what you were doing...ok.
Dr Doug, Pixie is really giving you dirty looks ☺
Pixie gave you such a side eye after the first C7 adjustment. Poor girl. She hides her pain too well.
I'm 22 and I didn't know chiropractic was for animals too!! Glad to know this exist thanks for ur work!
Yes, relax the lead (I could see/feel the tension) and deep belly breaths to help ground the nice lady. Tension is translated through the lead the same way as in the leash of a dog.
Absolutely beautiful face.
Pixie had a lot bad spots. Pretty horse she is.
Aww poor angel 😭😭
I am so fascinated by the transition from start to finish. I have a question for you Dr. Doug. Do you ever align a horse's spine by pulling it's tail? I watched a shoer do this to the horses before he trims their feet. I haven't seen you do this before and I'm curious. Thank you.
Yes, I do some tail adjusting. I haven't done it in any videos yet.
Calming music may help this horse relax a bit. She seems high strung. She really calmed down tho once she gotta adjusted. Maybe her behaviors are a pain response.
Long live Lil Sebastian!
Hey! My horse is Pixie! (Except my horse is cuter wink)
Hi Juliann, what type of horse is your Pixie? Thank you for watching this one!
Doc
♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Dida!
Do you work on humans also, Doc?!? Just taking that from Samuel’s remark here! Also was this Pixie one of the hardest horses you have worked on?!? Of course you are in a large stable with lots of noise and banging, people talking, horses moving around, etc., etc.! Well, I remember a dark horse you worked on, perhaps at that same stable/place?!? That horse to move around that much, compared to this one!!! But you are very patient, I have to say that!!!! A lot more patient than I would be I think!!!?!!!
I think Pixie was upset that she got fussed at in the start of this video.
Too much noise and activity in that Barn, just like the Arabian, very high strung beauties. The woman seemed a bit preoccupied, and aggravated with this beautiful horse. Thinking maybe this horse is under quite a bit of stress with all the activities she does as an ambassador for this Connecticut horse rescue group. Hope the woman can calm down herself. I'm sure she is under quite a bit of stress herself, running this rescue mission for horses. Maybe the money issues are getting difficult. That wouldn't be surprising in the financial condition of our country. She may benefit from an adjustment herself. I wish this horse rescue barn to continue, and to become highly successful.
It’s ALWAYS the LEFT tmj 😂
I wish it was the right TMJ, because my left shoulder has chronic pain.
I did wonder, if you Dr Willen, suffer some physical pains from your career? I have arthritis in my left hand (from violin playing) and in the right hand from marking schoolwork…certain specific finger points.
This is for everyone who’s been commenting about their fear of going to a human chiropractor . Not all chiropractors are right for a particular patient. I’ve tried several, and luckily found a fantastic chiropractor who also does acupuncture. I’m in heaven. He’s got the same kind of intuitive touch as was displayed in this video. So, keep looking! Chiropractic relieves a lot of pain.
Funnily enough, I have owned horses, and I can say that they do get headaches. I’m not sure if they feel just like ours, but a horse can definitely have pain in the top of its head.
I believe horses carry their stress in their mouths.
Hope you had a great weekend everyone!! Hey Doc, I do that "Doug Tug" and it seems to be helping out our Labraberian very well. I also checked his "ATLAS". I could get 2 fingers on the right side and only 1 finger on the left. As I don't know how to do the adjustment correctly, I just rocked it gently from side to side, and I did that for about 5 minutes. As I neared the 5 minute mark, all of a sudden, because of the gentle massage and constant pressure on the wings, I felt it slip and give a little POP!! So I checked the spaces again and I could get 2 fingers on either side!! My mother was looking at me like I was nuts, and she was saying, Duke doesn't like that, stop doing it! So I asked her to really look at his eyes. He had fallen asleep and was snoring as soon as it went POP!! The minute I stopped, he opened his eyes, yawned, stood up, gave a big stretch with butt in the air, and fully stood up, and came around the coffee table and shook it out!! I was quite pleased with myself, and gave myself a virtual pat on the back for a job well done. As I'm the only one he trusts to cut his nails, I knew I could do the Doug Tug with no issue. And I have no idea what made me check the Atlas today, but I'm super glad I did!! I did no bone maneuvering at all, just massage, and it slipped back in all nice and even. Have a great evening Everyone!! I know I'm going to enjoy mine, knowing I helped my fathers dog feel more comfortable today. Oh, and I did some gentle traction on his tail after the Atlas. He really seemed to enjoy all the attention!! I do the Doug Tug twice a week, and and it seems to be helping, but I check everyday. If there is any spasm then it gets done an extra day that week. Thank you so much for letting me learn from you something that can help my dads dog, and the 2 cats that are here as well. We have not had a hairball incident since I've been doing the Tug on them, but I do put a hairball remedy on their paw that they lick off and they can then pass it rather that vomit it up. Have a Great Week!! Stay Safe Everyone!!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦
Hi Jenn! Your comment was the highlight of my morning! It's true, you don't have to pop the Atlas, sustained pressure works great. It takes more time, but it gets the job done in many cases. If it's stuck, it probably needs a thrust. There are chiropractic techniques that do not involve pops. One that I remember ( I never studied this one), but its called DNFT. Directional Non Force Technique, and you were basically doing that. You must be in the right spot, and then you can guide the alignment. I find dogs and horses will help push back into you, and help with their own bodies. Bravo, Bravo!
I'm also glad that the Doug Tug is working too.
Have a wonderful day, my friend!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen This is a dog, that at 2 years of age, after going for his 45 minute lunch time walk, an 18 month old came over to. He sat down, and let this little one pull on his ears, and climb on him to ride him like a horse, and (he's large enough for an 18 mth old to do that with!!! LOL), but as soon as the little one started to lose his balance, it was Duke who stood up, and the toddler grabbed him by the Ear and the Scruff. All Duke did was lean his body the other way until the little one had his feet back under him, then he went through the sprinkler at the park, got a drink, and I gave the little one 1/2 a milk bone to give to Duke as a reward for being such a good boy. The father was right there, ready to yank his son out of the way if Duke got exuberant in taking his treat. I just said to Duke 2 words. EASY, BABY!! Our dog didn't even touch the child at all, but the child giggled. So I asked, Why are you laughing?? He told me, Doggie's whiskers tickled, like Daddy!!! Just goes to show, there are no bad dogs. It is ALL UP TO THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LEASH that teaches the dog how to be. Best Regards and Stay Safe Everyone!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦
@@jenniferlehman2464 Hi Jenn, that is such a sweet story! Loved it. Good point, "the other end of the leash" is where the responsibility lies! Well said. Thanks Jenn!
Can we have you come to Czech republic and fix people for a change? :D i dont know if you fix people as well, but I know that I would become a horse for you to fix my back !
What kind of horse is she???
Not positive. They didn't tell me.
works on huge draft horse Draft horse doesn't even move a foot. Works on pony. lol perpetual "squirrel!" reaction. freakin' ponies!
Hi Holly, I'm going back to Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue this weekend, and volunteering for 3 days. Hope to film 20+ horses. You are so right. The draft horses are easy compared to the spunky ones.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen love watching you and the big drafts. cant wait to see the videos!
Interesting how ppl suddenly speak horse in the comments
Pixy is really suspicious of you at first.
I don't blame her, she hasn't had that much experience with my type of work. I hope she will remember it wasn't so bad!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen I hope so too. You can really see her calm down and more relaxed.
She needs an attitude adjustment too.
That pony needs to be messed up with more. She too antsy
That’s a bad spot to do this
I don't get it.. at all
?
It's just another like from parks and rec When Adam Scott is talking about lol Sebastian
Pixie doesn't seem to like you very much. Hmmm. Previous bad experience?
Did you see her first adjustment?
Pixie is a typical pony, full of attitude, and she is a spoiled little madam on top of it.
Her attitude toward him improves throughout the adjustment, even with a million distractions.
That horse is not ready to treat. To much going on around her. I wouldnt want to be around this horse. and you click your mouth to simulate a bone/joint realignment seeded to me.
She has the look like, what the fuck did you just to to me. But the body language says do it again.
