Horse that throws head up - back problem in horse - chiropractor for horses mass - south shore boston and north shore

Horses iniate movement by tucking the pelvis and flexing the low back. If your horse starts to throw his head on forward motion then there may be a subluxation ( stuck ) joint in the sacroiliac and or lumbar region. The head toss is to help your horse transfer his weight back to the hind end to aid in flexion of the lumbar and pelvis since they are not flexing on their own. A chiropractic evaluation will be able to determine if a subluxation complex is the cause and adjustments as well as specific exercises will correct it.
