What any vet or equine specialist makes depends on the location of their practice, if they have partners and other factors. I do know from experience that I payed an equine chiropractor 75 dollars for 15 minutes. This was a few years ago so I don't know what the rate is today. I think you can find a chiropractor in your area from your vet or look at the yellow pages online.

What education or training do you need to become a animal chiropractor?
To become an animal chiropractor (eg: an equine chiropractor), one must have a doctorate in chiropractic or a doctorate in veterinary medicine.Thus, the steps will be:1) Complete a 4 year university/college undergraduate degree (eg: Bachelors of Science)2) Complete a 4 year doctorate in either chiropractic medicine or veterinary medicine3) Pass national/regional board exams for veterinary or chiropractic medicine3) Complete a certification program in animal manipulation (200 additional hours)Once this is completed, you can call yourself a doctor of animal (eg: equine) chiropractic.There are also 1 and 2 year programs available for someone who has no university or college training, called equine therapy. This is like becoming a massage therapist for horses, and I believe they also teach a couple of generic manipulation techniques. Once you have completed this program you can call yourself an equine therapist (many of these people call themselves equine chiropractors, but it is illegal to do so).
Train as an Equine Chiropractic?
Equine chiropractic is, like human chiropractic, a form of alternative medicine. Equine chiropractic involves carefully adjusting the spine and joints of a horse in order to relieve pain and enhance movement. Because of the way nerves pass through the spinal column and connect with other nerves elsewhere, adjusting the spinal column can affect other nerves. Chiropractic care is not a substitute for regular veterinary care, rather, it is a supplement.Equine chiropractors frequently work as part of a team including a veterinarian, especially in terms of relieving equine pain and post injury or strain therapy. In fact, many DVMs, or Doctors of Veterinary Medicine also pursue equine chiropractic training. A DVM degree is not required for equine chiropractic, though most equine chiropractics have a college degree, certification as an equine chiropractic, and, depending on the state, they may also have a license to practice equine chiropractic.An equine chiropractic needs to have a great deal of experience and comfort working with horses. They need to have strong observational skills, and good hand-eye coordination, and a fair amount of strength both in terms of performing chiropractic adjustments, and handling horses who may be in pain and discomfort and thus not at their best in terms of behavior.There are several steps to accomplish before attempting to practice as an equine chiropractor. First, study at an accredited school offering a doctorate in equine chiropractic. There are many different schools offering training, with or without a certificate. Generally speaking the longer programs that require a hundred hours or more in actual supervised clinical work with horses are better. In North America the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) offers an Animal Chiropractic Certification Commission (ACCC) certificate to graduates of accredited schools. Obtaining an ACCC certificate depends on first earning a degree as an equine chiropractor, then successfully passing a two-part exam; the exam consists of a written portion and a clinical portion that involves hands-on examination and treatment of a horse. Depending on the state, an equine chiropractor may then have to obtain a license. Note that even after licensing, some states required an equine chiropractor to be supervised by a DVM.
