Hi All:

I just had to get in my biased opinion on this one. Bring as mean and a lot
older and grouchier than Tom I went and did some research.

First let me advise any one interested in what can be done with the joints
of a horse to get a copy of several basic books. I suggest The Anatomy of
the Horse By Way & Lee--Lameness in Horses by O.R. Adams---The Lame Horse by
James R. Rooney and finally The Autopsy of the Horse also by Rooney.

Examine each of these so you will know how the horse is put together! In
this particular case examine the structure of the carpal joint!! If any one
little piece of bone, and there are
many, is out of line the slightest, the joint WILL NOT WORK. The horse will
be three legged lame. The radiographs are the most revealing. If you examine
them closely you will see what the Chiropractor, or other alternate
therapist says they do is impossible. Just wish I had a scanner so I could
actually show you with pictures. Of course I would be violating copyright
laws but what the hell!

Please, even though you heard some sound it does not mean something was out
of line and was forced back. You should hear me crack my fingers!!! Ever
hear of the witch doctor who cures by sucking out the poison and proves it
by spitting out the "vile black fluid"!!! And the sick patient is instantly
cured!! Proven many times to work but really folks, GET THE TRUE FACTS,
Study your anatomy! Look at the pictures. Read the books.
