Why would a horse dislike going downhill?

I have, and anyone who thinks the skeleton of a horse can be manipulated needs to think again. Certainly massage, exercise and stretching can ease muscle pain and the hi tech machines now available in equine hospitals, can identify nerve and ligament issues, but anyone who tells you they have put the back or neck 'back in place' is in fantasy land.

Care to tell my horse, chiropractor and vet who worked on my horse, under anaesthetic, manipulating his neck back into alignment. They worked together to get him sorted. He was out to such a degree that he collapsed under me when the nerves were trapped to both front legs at the same time.

I drove my chiropractor around for a year when he lost his license and I saw first hand the effects Chiros can have.

A large number of horses are out in the neck and poll, a surprisingly large number!
 
'...A chiropractor does not “put bones back in place,” but moves the joint through its normal range of motion...'


On the 'doesn't like downhill' subject, the Anticob is very sticky downhill and he vet suspects ulcers. It isn't the only sign he is showing though.
 
'the vets' mean that practice who practices chiropady.. and even they don't claim to be manipulating bones...
