Equine Chiropractor Larry Jones has travelled with I’ll Have Another throughout the colt’s Triple Crown run providing massage, stretching and adjustments for the horse, reports the New York Times.  Jones has worked with all types of horses around the world, including polo ponies, jumpers, quarter horses and thoroughbred racehorses. He worked with I’ll Have Another just four hours after the colt’s Preakness triumph to give I’ll Have Another a massage.  Afterwards, the horse cleaned his feed bin and was sleeping comfortably early in the night.

Jones objects to being called a chiropractor: “I’m not a chiropractor, I’m a positionalist,” he said. “I set the horses up so they do a biomechanical adjustment themselves. Mechanically, physically, mentally – they have a whole new outlook on their job after. They eat better, digest better, rest better.”

    Larry, any chance you can adjust a few negative attitudes such as the board of the CHRB & Barry Irwin the Belmont so we can all root for IHA and Doug without their whining.

    I USED A VIBRATER THAT THE OLD BARBERS USED HAD SPRINGS THAT WOULD SLIP OVER HAND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO A CHIROPRACTOR I SAW ONE OF THE BIG TWO HANDED THUMPERS .WOULDN’T LEAVE TILL HE SOLD IT TO ME. NEVER ADJUSTED ONE BUT IT IS GREAT FOR THEM. THEY ALSO SHOW MORE HAIR GLOSS FROM THE SKIN GETTING MORE BLOOD . AFTER A WHILE THEY GET TO WHERE THEY LEAN INTO IT.

    I’ve never heard of a horse chiropractor but it sounds interesting. I would recommend this to my equestrian friend.
