Heartwarming Success Story
Sophie is doing really well! She is so much more focused! Today I 
took her out to the arena for the first time in months. Usually she'd   
be whinnying and staring at the 'Fairies', but today she stayed with   
me and did what I asked of her. We were spreading compost in the   
pasture so that was a distraction for her, but she handled it much   
better than she has handled distractions in the past. I was very proud   
of her!

Herbal De-Wormers: Do They Kill Parasites?
The question of whether or not natural de-wormers will act to kill worms is generated by the false belief system that good parasite management is a relentless war of eradication with DSC00964toxic weapons, i.e. chemical de-wormers. But, horses, like most other animals including people, are not supposed to have a sterile intestinal system. A healthy intestinal system is a complex eco-system which relies on the balance between small numbers of microorganisms including bacteria (good and bad), yeast, viruses, and some parasites to maintain its good health. If horses are never exposed to pathogens, including parasites, they will never build natural immunity and resistance. Read more....
Seven Ways to Connect with Your Horse 

There's no doubt that horses are a big part of the lives of many people. I know for me, the joy that spending time with horses brings me is immeasurable but have you ever wondered how you can connect with your horse at a deeper level? Sometimes the simple things in life can be a significant source for peace and joy. Here are 7 Ways to Connect with Your Horse.

One...

riva1Hang out with your horse without asking anything from her/him. Horses spend eighty percent of their time "hanging out" with the herd, i.e. standing in a group, grooming one another or leaning over the water trough. Be part of the herd by sitting with them, walking with them (no halters), or sit under the moon together. One horse telepathically conveyed to me that he liked the white lawn chair and the coffee cup. It had no meaning to me at the time but his owner later shared with me that every morning she sat beside his hay pile in a white lawn chair with her morning coffee while he munched on his hay. Small pleasures...

Red Deer Report
Horse Health Practitioner Workshop, Red Deer AB 

Our two day Horse Health Practitioner Workshop was held in early September in Red Deer, Alberta. There were 19 students with varied professions - chiropractors, massage therapists, sports therapists, acupunturists, veterinarians, barefoot trimmers, reiki practitioners and other body work professionals. 

Marijke van de Water facilitated a day of classroom study on diet, nutrition, natural medicine, case studies and barefoot trimming and then taught and demonstrated
The Marijke Method. The next day the students had the opportunity to work on their own horses at a local stable. The students worked in teams of 3 for a total of 6 horses to practice the method. 
 
The horses were very active and very excited to be there which challenged everyone's handling skills. But everyone eventually settled in and the students did a great job on formulating health programs for each horse after which they presented their cases to the rest of the group.
 
The weekend was fun, informative, interactive and the student feedback was very satisfactory. Thank you to all of the participants who attended and made this weekend event successful.
