Amazing


I had no idea that a chiropractor could do so much for a horse.

Cody's first trip to see Dr. DiAmato made such a difference. I trailered him over to the Polo Club to meet the Doc. He was a very nice man and Cody liked him right away, even though he was worried about being in such new surroundings.

The Doctor took his time getting Cody used to the thing he stands on to adjust horses (it's like a bale of hay only light weight and covered in vinyl). Then he started to work and I could tell it HURT. Cody was prancing in place and arching his neck, hating it...

But then... something clicked and everything relaxed. I swear he sighed in relief, closed his eyes and just stood there. Cody was sold on equine chiropractors and so was I.

The next day, Cody was feeling so much better than he had been. I saw a glimmer of life in his eyes. It was nothing short of amazing. No more bute. And he'll see the doctor again in two weeks. He's moving better and is a lot more alert and happy.
