The mysterious world of equine chiropractic care comes into sharp focus as Dr. Kiley Kelly, veterinarian and certified equine chiropractor, shares her professional journey and practical wisdom. What begins with the story of a family pony named Salty—transformed from bucking menace to dream ride after a single adjustment—evolves into a fascinating exploration of how subtle spinal issues profoundly affect horse performance and comfort.

Dr. Kelly demystifies the science behind vertebral subluxations—those slight misalignments that restrict motion and create cascading problems throughout a horse's body. She expertly distinguishes between genuine chiropractic needs and underlying lameness issues that require different veterinary attention, emphasizing how proper diagnosis prevents wasted time and resources. Her candid assessment of saddle fit as the primary culprit behind recurring chiropractic issues offers a wake-up call for many horse owners holding onto expensive but problematic equipment.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Dr. Kelly reveals the profound connection between rider and horse biomechanics. Her account of treating two different horses with identical subluxation patterns—resolved only after their teenage rider received human chiropractic care—illuminates how our own physical imbalances directly impact our equine partners. This holistic perspective extends to practical advice on preventative care, from regular dental work and balanced exercise to stretching techniques that maintain flexibility and comfort.
