Teresa and Bug
In early September 2020, my horse slipped and fell on wet arena footing and presented lame. After exhausting all other methods of treatment, and still no results, I received a recommendation to try chiropractic care, enter Dr. Woodford. Dr. Woodford saw my horse for the first time in November of 2020 and did a very […]

Last year at the World Show, we got down there and Roy just wasn’t quite “right”. I had called my husband the night before my main class and said I didn’t think I’d get him shown as he was not feeling himself. It’s a lot on these horses (trailering for hours, being rode a tad […]
Cooter
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of great horses and some fantastic equine support staff. After all these years, I consider most show horses pretty easy to manage and keep in the condition physically and mentally to perform their best. That is, until the summer of 2013. My […]
