In part, this would depend on what prerequisites are required by the chiropractic college you are hoping to attend. At the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College there are no strict prerequisites except that you must have completed at least 3-years of an undergraduate university education.
No matter what school you attend, chiropractic college includes extensive training in all of the basic and applied sciences during the first two years, including cell biology and histology, biochemistry, anatomy, microbiology, immunology, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, exercise science, neuroscience, psychology, nutrition, etc., so the more science courses you can take before chiropractic college the better off you will be. Students with minimal science background have to work MUCH harder to keep up with their studies.
If you end up choosing not to pursue a chiropractic education, an extensive science background will give you lots of additional options such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, law, etc. In other words, it never hurts to take alot of science courses in college (or university).

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).
