What Readers are Really Saying:   

EMS Equine Metabolic Syndrome, Holistic Hoof Care, Natural Horse Health and more!

 

"The article by Marijke van de Water, Equine Metabolic Syndrome & Laminitis in the Summer 2012 issue of The Horse's Hoof, is perhaps the best article I have ever read on the subject. It is very much appreciated. I just wanted to let you know. I wrote a note to this effect on the Equines Eating Well yahoo group earlier today on my yahoo address."

~ Forwarded from the editor of The Horse's Hoof Magazine

Read the complete article on Riva's Website.

 

"Marijke,

I have received the flyers and the books and am enjoying reading them and getting to know them so I can talk about them better when in the booth. What fabulous resources both of these books are. Thank you for the well thought out information you have provided in them. I hope we get your much needed books into the hands of many, many people.

Thank you for the opportunity to share them."

Arthritis or Laminitis?
It's not always clear

Did you know that many so-called arthritic horses are actually laminitic? And that the stiffness and soreness that horse owners observe is often caused by sore feet and not by sore joints or muscles. Many of these horses have sub-clinical laminitis, in other words there are no signs of heat, separation or digital pulse. There is however microscopic stretching or damage to the lamina resulting in pain and soreness. Over time the body starts to compensate for these painful feet making it look like arthritis.

 

For more information please see Marijke's article on Healing Laminitis & Metabolic Syndrome with Nutrition.

 

If you need help identifying your arthritic/laminitic horse please contact us or, better yet send us a video. The treatment programs vary depending on the individual horse but, either way, we will get your horse back on the road to recovery.

Pro-colon
Pro-Colon for Optimal Health
Horses in the Heat Wave
Keeping your horse healthy in stressful conditions

 

In many parts of Eastern U.S. and Canada the heat and drought this spring and summer has been relentless leading to shortages of hay and major changes in the equine lifestyle. 

 

Shadow&Harriet
Shadow & Harriet

Meet Shadow (age 29) and Harriet who enjoys feeding Shadow one bottle of alcoholic Stout to keep him rehydrated. They swear it works!

Gastricol
Gastricol for Cleansing and Digestive Upsets

 

Aside from Stout remember to offer the horses plenty of cool water every day, provide them with shade and don't work or exercise them in extreme heat. 

 

In extreme temperatures and/or rapid temperature fluctuations keep digestive reactions to a minimum by ensuring adequate levels of probiotics - Pro-Colon - � tsp daily and Gastricol - one dose daily to ensure intestinal movement, drain the liver and relieve any digestive upsets.
