Before treating an animal for any condition, many factors
should be taken into consideration. With so many choices
in healing for our animals in holistic and natural therapies,
it is always wise to take in the “whole” picture.
Many times we are so focused on the issue at hand and the
outcome, it is easy to omit some of these suggestions for
consideration. (to learn

I am not an animal communicator. However, I believe that
you cannot spend time with animals and not communicate with
them. In fact, even a change encounter with an animal can
make a lasting impact on your life. I was walking one evening
and suddenly felt myself turn around and go back the way
I had come and look down into an open pipe. (to

DNA is activated, new research shows, by waves and particles
of energized sound and light which, more than chemicals

We've all heard the old adage, “You are what you eat”. But
does that apply to our horses? In fact, equine nutrition
plays a crucial role if you want a happy, healthy horse.

continuing depletion of our natural resources, an increase
of toxins in our air and water, devitalized, man-made, imitation,
processed foods sucked dry of vital nutrients, packed with
artificial colors, flavors and preservatives can make your
head spin just trying to make simple choices. Reading Warnings

A small herd of woolycoated horses looks up alertly from
their watering hole. A moment later, a ghostly gray lifts
his head and stares int ently over the hill. With a toss

- Does your horse consistently win? Surpass your expectations?
Look forward to competition?
- Does he do it, or can he do it, without drugs, medications
and painkillers?
- Why medicate, mask and marginalize your horse’s
performance and actually put him at risk?
There is good
news for the horse industry. There are other ways to have

effective, performing in ultimate condition and keep him
performing longer with shorter recovery rates from the high
levels of the physical challenges and stress required of
today’s performance horse. (to

sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started
with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on Wednesday
but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7AM.
