Pet Health PEMF

Last week we had an incident. We went to the ER and had it cleaned and stitched. Doctors opted out of antibiotics unless there became an issue so not to upset the micro biome in the gut unless necessary. It was a grinder that did this so infection was a worry. However we started Gagoti Healing’s ESP-15 on it immediately to pull any possible infection and kick up the healing process. Left is the day it happened. Right is last night. The little bit of dark in the injury is the ESP-15. It’s healing beautifully and have had zero indication of infection. No itching, no discomfort since day 2, no infection, big win. Picture before stitches in comments.

Sadie and Daisy taking turns getting their sessions. Such happy little girls. Sadie, the white fluffy girl, is 16 years young! She still jumps around and she’s still queen of the house. Lol

We can’t wait to see everyone today! I told him to “cheese” and now he just looks like Chandler. 😂

This is what I mean when I say, most pets love it. Daisy NEVER wants to get off the mat.

Miss Sadie has been getting her regular PEMF sessions for her arthritis and glaucoma and she’s feeling so much better. Now we are working on getting that muscle back with some low impact exercise.

Horses are mentally and physically designed to be outside and in motion.

Horses in a natural environment will travel 10-30+ miles a day foraging.

In feral or wild type herds, cribbing / weaving / colic / EMS are typically not observed (if ever).

These are conditions that usually come from human created environments that prevent horses from doing what their minds and bodies need.

Just like dogs should not be crated for 24 hours a day (a crate can be like a den to dogs to a point but not for full days), horses are not best served by being stalled all day (or at all, in many cases).

Horses can learn to enjoy fans, windbreaks, shelter, the absence of flies, hay on front of them in a bag and so forth, sure, but that does not mean that it's actually best for them when over used.

Movement and interaction with our kind, in humans and horses, is vital.

Lack of movement, constant stalling, deprivation of equine friends and too lush a diet are killing or damaging our horses.

A person may sit and even enjoy days of not doing anything or seeing anyone, but there on long term health implications.

Do your absolute best to try to allow your horse to have natural movement in the outdoors as much as possible with at least one equine friend.

Select boarding facilities that make sure horses get a great chance at moving freely outdoors with a pal or herd, too.

Don't bubble wrap them.

We don't live in a perfect world, so everyone doesn't have 100 acres to offer their equine partner, but do the best you can to give them what their health needs, for mind and body.

I cannot shout this loud enough. This woman is amazing. I’ll post her website in the comments. While this post is about EPM, don’t limit her. She’s helped with other issues and even with our dogs.

Testing and diagnosis misleads.
The difference between what success in treatment means to you vs what “success” means when they’re recommending their treatments. Why does this matter?

Why you can’t expect Neuro and muscular symptoms to disappear during treatment. The difference between treatment and recovery.

Why it matters so much that Thrive Feed is so particular about what goes in it, where it comes from, and quality testing before using. This is why it’s so different. You can’t base information on feed or supplements simply by what’s on the bag or container. It matters where it comes from. It matters how it’s put together. And the quality of what goes in it matters. If it’s cheaper, there’s usually a good reason.

The amazing benefits of the ProSix.

Why it matters so much to protect that gut!

Why after care and support is soooo important!

This information is not just for the horses struggling. This information is to help prevent infection and help keep that immune system up!

And the NUMBER ONE post of 2022:

Horses sleep in three different positions: standing, semi-recumbent, and fully recumbent.

Each of these positions allow the horse to reach different levels of sleep.

1. Standing, which is the safest position for a prey animal, offers the lightest level of sleep.
This allows the horse to wake and run away quickly if in danger.
2. Semi-recumbent, as shown in the picture, is where the horse lays down, but with their legs underneath them.
This allows for a deeper sleep than standing, but their legs are still underneath them for a quick stand up and run away.
3. Fully recumbent is where a horse is laid flat out on their sides. This is the only position in which a horse can get to REM sleep - deep, restful sleep.

However due to the horse's body size, they can only lay fully out for 45 minutes a time or risk crushing internal organs.

In total, horses need anywhere from 30 min to 3 hours of REM sleep a day.

What happens if a horse doesn't get enough sleep? In the next post we'll go over common symptoms of a sleep-deprived horse.

Horse Owners: If you are feeding Top of the Rockies alfalfa cubes - STOP! Over 100 horses have died or become ill from apparent botulism.

Please check the following date codes: 111222, 111322, 111422, 111522, and 111622.

Note: Alfalfa cubes in general do not cause botulism - this is contaminated feed!

Horses are amazingly tolerant, giving creatures.

It unfortunately means they’re often exploited due to the ambitions of the human. After their basic needs are met, you must be very thoughtful in the training of your horse.

Your first duty is to preserve the purity of the paces. What does this mean? Walk has 4 beats, trot has 2, canter has 3, gallop has 4. ALWAYS. If not, something is wrong biomechanically, and your horse is at risk of injury. BTW impure paces can usually be detected in a photograph, even though it is only a “moment in time”, AND this applies to all disciplines.

Strapping a horse’s mouth shut with a crank/flash (or other) noseband very often contributes. The fact is, a horse cannot maintain full range of motion with his hind legs if he can’t move his tongue and jaw. FACT.

For jumping, if the horse bolts off - away from, towards, or after a jump, putting on a bigger bit and a martingale will not fix it. If a horse hesitates or stops, pulling out the whip will NEVER make him more confident.

These are just a few hints that your horse is asking for HELP. Go back. Consolidate the basics. I have a FREE guide to help with this, you can download it now https://www.classicaljumping.com/next-level-freebie

Another wonderful thing about horses is they're retrainable. If you ignore the hints, eventually the horse will either break down, or will SHOUT to get your attention, and you will get hurt.

After all, horses are dangerous. We tell everyone that. But actually they are not. We wouldn’t be able to ride them if they were truly dangerous. You know what’s dangerous? People are.

Ponder this excerpt from Franz Mairinger’s book “Horses are made to be Horses”:

I recall an incident in Sydney when we had a lame horse with a very bad tendon, and the rider wanted to start the horse the next day. We asked Roy Stewart, the veterinary surgeon, and he said, ‘Yes, that’s the trouble. People always think that horses are made for man, but that’s not true. Horses are made to be horses’. I thought about that a lot, and decided that if I should write a book I would call it Horses are made to be Horses.

(Franz Mairinger was the first coach of an Australian Olympic Equestrian Team, his excellent book is out of print, but can occasionally be found second hand - buy it if you see it)

😍 She’s just so sweet. ❤️❤️

🥰Just had a customer in to pick up Dog’s Thrive Food and reported that their senior dog is not only off of his pain medication for three weeks now but is able to go up and down the stairs and play, which he was unable to do before. Also said her other dog is completely off “all medications” and all they’ve changed was their food from commercial to Dog’s Thrive. She even said the shedding is down! When you don’t put the bad stuff in, you don’t have to supplement and medicate it away. I am not claiming that this food is healing illness or injury. However it simply does not have cheap or inappropriate ingredients in it that feed inflammation in the body. Small changes=big wins!! ❤️💪🏼❤️
