WOW ..feeding herbs,pony feeling better

[haycroft]

i had posted a little while back saying that we may have to say goodbye to out little loan pony as hes has lami and possible cushings
he could hardly walk and in alot of pain(he has dropped soles aswell),being stuck in and so miserable(hes had lami on and off for several years the owner has been battling against this condition for years with him and other ponies and had one or two pts as tried everything but all ponies are different and will respond differently))

we've been feeding him herbs,chastetree berry,prolamin and micronised linessd(as hes underweight) since jan and in the l;ast few days hes a totally different pony..ok not 100% sound but alot more comfortable and wants to trot and alot better within himself..im so pleased but im not sure if this is only temperary and he may go down hill again

lets hope we have a lot more fun times with him

Agnus Castus (chaste berry) is having a great effect on my cushings pony too

Nice to hear some other success stories. I too have mine on Cushylife (contains Agnus Castus), Milk Thistle, Echincea and Pink Powder and he looks and feels fantastic.

I'm interested to read this as I am at the point of wondering if it is time for my little Shetland as he too has Cushings and laminitis and is so uncomfy it breaks my heart.

Would you mind posting where you get your supplies from so i can look into it?

Many thanks, and glad yours are improving.

on a similar note I wasn't sure if my daughter's pony (who was lame from Nov till end Jan with one thing after another) was ever going to come sound as he is old, lammi-prone & rather arthritic. I have been feeding him loads of herbal stuff & he was out joyfully going over four foot holly hedges hunting last week. He even took himself over some stock fencing with wire above from a standstill when he was fed up queuing for a gateway.

I have been getting stuff from natural horse supplies (was just looking for Boswellia/Devils Claw type products) and found it really informative.

He now has cinnamon, slippery elm bark, boswellia, mag ox & brewers yeast to add to the linseed, alfanuts, unmolassed beet & TS he was already having.

always found it interesting feeding herbs to horses sounds like it has some really good results.

is there anyone who feeds them regularly to horses who don't have obvious problems ie. cushings arthritis etc?

for non cushings related lami - dried nettles are also very good.

 

[berry]

Milk thistle and dandilion leaves are good for detoxing the liver and nettles help support the panceras which helps the boody to break down sugars safetly and reducess the amount of bad toxins which inflamme the panceras.
My mare has a weak liver and when has too much sugar/starch gets an infammed pancreas which leads to her being tight through her back and back end.

Pebbles suffered from laminitis for many years and none of the commercially available products worked. I discovered JK's Herbs (07547548141) and he improve and the laminitis was kept at bay. An alternative therapy shop openned locally and when I went in to browsw the proprieter's husband asked if I needed any help. Could he suggest anything for a pony with laminitis? Cup your hands around the pony's hoof and tell him you love him and want to make him better.So I did. Yes I now know it was reiki, but I didn't then and neither did Pebbles. A few weeks later I was greeted in the mornings by Pebbles bucking, rearing and kicking!! He has been lami free ever since, taking his job as nanny/fatherfigure to BJ very seriously, biting her backside whenever she does something he knows to be wrong!!! (She is 16hh and he is 12hh). This week Pebbles was ridden by a friend's daughter for her GCSE Spors exam and behaved perfectly even if the standard of riding wasn't!

I know it's a long time on, but if anyone is interested JK's Herbs now has an on–line shop and you can get Lami–ned here http://jksherbs.co.uk/JKs_Herbs/metabolic.html The phone number above is no longer in use. They can send it with a dose of Reiki if you request it — no extra charge ;-)
