Such a beautiful relationship can be healing

People and horses often do some healing as a side effect of using these books to get an extraordinary relationship.  Here’s some excerpts from my post to the Bobby’s Diaries discussion group about more understanding of that process and how we can support us or our horses during that healing.

Horse flu - make your own homeopathic medicine

Given the horse flu epidemic in Australia, I have decided to publish, free, how to make a homeopathic medicine for your own horse who’s sick with the flu or any other virus.

Homeopathic medicine has always had the edge on modern drugs when it comes to viruses. Click here for detailed instructions on how to make your own homeopathic medicine, for your own sick horse.

While you’re out of action, take advantage of the down time to read the most life changing horse book you’re ever going to read - and it comes with a money back guarantee “love this book or get your money back”.

Understanding windsucking - a new perspective

Windsucking has traditionally been considered a bad habit or a vice.  Soserious a vice is it, that in some racing circles, a seller of the horse by racing law has to declare a horse as a windsucker.
 
But it appears that there’s more to windsucking than the bad habit that I thought it was.  Windsucking releases the feel good hormones, the endorphins, that have a similar effect to pain killing drugs that produce a “high”. There’s no doubt in my mind that a windsucker is the horse equivalent of a drug addict. 
 
When a horse windsucks he usually bites on to the edge of his stable or a fence post, arches his neck and takes a deep, grunting, sucking breath.  A windsucker has been or is usually stabled, they are most often racehorses.  I’ve known of horses that have had electric fencing to stop them and they’ve just reached down and sucked off their own legs.

Laminitis or founder is most commonly caused by sudden feed changes, overweight ponies and stress.  The drought here in Australia and the sudden end of that drought has increased the number of cases of laminitis.

Horse health - ten ways to reduce your vet bills

As well as being the author of Bobby’s Diaries, Straight from the Horse’s Mouth to You, we have here at our beautiful property at Tanjil South in the state of Victoria, in Australia, a horse hospital where we use alternative medicine and therapies to rehabilitate horses from illness and injury.  

We work on everything from simple muscle problems, to damaged ligaments, to skeletal problems such as arthritis and bone damage, to rashes, to cancers, to “nutty” horses with emotional problems. 

There are ten main reasons that I see horses here at the hospital, 10 ways that you can reduce your vet bills!

So you think your horse has stringhalt?

Bobby & Jenny warming upStringhalt is a nervous system disorder caused by either a lack of magnesium or a lack of  other minerals or trace elements that are necessary to absorbing the magnesium.

And in my experience as an alternative therapist, it’s totally curable.  Bobby was an extreme stringhalt case about 8 years ago.  Looks pretty good now, eh?
