Conditions We Treat

When Something'sJust Not Right

Many of these conditions go undiagnosed for months — or are dismissed as “behavioral.” Dr. Barbie finds the real cause.

Kissing Spine

Overriding dorsal spinous processes causing chronic back pain, poor performance, and resistance under saddle.

Subtle or overt gait abnormalities from musculoskeletal dysfunction — often misdiagnosed or left untreated.

Unexplained drop in athletic performance, refusals, or loss of impulsion that conventional exams miss.

Inability or reluctance to take a specific lead — almost always a musculoskeletal issue, not a training problem.

Bucking under saddle is a pain response, not a behavior problem. Identify and treat the root cause.

Degenerative joint disease causing stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility — especially in older horses.

Chronic nervous system activation leading to ulcers, stereotypies, and immune suppression. Acupuncture resets the system.

Muscular or structural back pain from poor saddle fit, overwork, or compensatory patterns.
