When a foal is born the curves of the neck start to develop during the first few months of life. If there is a difficult birth or even a normal birth, it is possible to have one of the vertebrae to be "stuck" in movement. This "stuck movement" is part of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex which affects nerves as well as muscles. This horse needs to have a chiropractic evaluation to be sure that normal developement will occur. All foals should have rountine chiropractic evaluation rather than waiting to see if the horse develops any problems later.
I call this preventitive care. Please contact me to have a foal check up.
