My share horses had the back lady out today and she is also doing training for Iridology where she looks into the horses eyes and it can tell her if it has any hereditary problems from mum and/or dad, any past illness/injury (cant pick up operations as the anesthetic stops the signals to the body which shows up in the eyes)

It was really interesting and showed that the 23 nearly 24 year old is in fantastic shape (back and all over!) but had a foreleg injury many moons ago and that he has problems with his feet....(hes on farriers formula a shas rubbish feet, but you cant tel to look at as they have got better!!

) She got all that form looking in to his eyes!!

The other share horse (reason for back lady coming out) had pulled his groin(left hind)

poor boy...but would explain why he wasnt particularly sound and reluctant to work on the left rein...so after he had his massage and she showed us how to do the stretches she looked into his eyes and we found out he has a hereditary kidney weakness from his mums side so hes not to have a high protein diet...so no Haylage for him!!

I reccomend Pam Bryan to anyone who wants their horses backs doing and for the Iridology thing too....its soooooooooo interesting and could tell you all sorts about your horse!!!!

Chuffed to bits !!!!

Ps....shes very reasonable price wise too!!! PM and will give link...dont want to post it here as im nmot sure if its classed as advertising!!!

I'm the world's greatest cynic,so please excuse me. If you're happy with this person's info, great. But do be aware that any health treatment given to your horse by anyone, whatever their qualifications, should be first ok-ed by a vet. In particular, I'd be worried by a seemingly random diagnosis of "weak kidneys" that has made you put him on a low protein diet. My rescued mare Angel is on a low protein diet because of thoroughly investigated liver damage. What concerns me is that all animals need some protein but Angel's liver support diet (drawn up by the head nutritionist at D&H, in conjunction with extensive research by Prof Knottenbelt at Liverpool University) is that what protein she does have must be of the highest quality. Does your ned have any health problems that would indicate a low protein diet might help? Are you happy that all his nutritional requirements are still being met? I wonder what your vet would say if you told him/her what you were planning on doing and on whose authority.

Told you I was a cynic! Take care - an open mind is good but it needs to be backed up by common sense and a degree of critical questionning.
 
I have studied iridology a little and it is fascinating, in horses and in people. There is one place in the right eye of a horse which is supposed to show when a horse has an impaction building, very useful to know that one, can't hurt to have an advance warning and try to avert disaster! 'stress lines' do show up in stressy horses and not in laid-back ones too, fascinating... but no alternative to a good vet when necessary, of course.
 
Totally agree with you Kerilli!! We got the back lady out as horse wasnt right but wasnt bad enough to call the vet out,,,(who probably would have given bute and more time off!!) Back lady discoverd he had pulled his groin...massaged/manipulated and sorted that out told us how to do stretches and how to bring him back into work...(hacking in straight lines for a bit then working up to trot etc) If the back lady hadnt have worked then we would have got the vet out....(they were due back lady anyway!)

She didnt come out to do the Iridology, that was just an added extra which we found really interesting...
