⚠️🌼 𝙍𝘼𝙂𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙏 𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝙏- 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩! 🌼⚠️

It’s that time of year again - the yellow flowers might be bright and cheery, but ragwort is no friend to horses. We’re seeing it popping up all over Aberdeenshire just now - in paddocks, field margins, and even creeping into hay.

⚠️ 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮:
Ragwort contains toxins that damage the liver and sadly, once the damage is done, there’s no specific cure. Horses don’t usually eat it fresh (it tastes nasty), but once it’s dried in hay, they can’t tell – this can pose a significant risk.

We’ve seen heartbreaking cases over the years, and the worst part is, signs often don’t show until the liver is already badly compromised and it is too late to treat.

🧐 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩:
Right now it’s tall, with clusters of yellow daisy-like flowers and tough, ragged leaves. Have a good walk round your fields, especially along fence lines and rough ground, and any fields used for making hay.

🧤 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙮:
• Always wear gloves – the toxins can be absorbed through skin.
• Pull it up by the roots if you can (a ragwort fork helps!).
• Don’t leave pulled plants lying about – wilted ragwort is actually more palatable to horses.
• Bag it and dispose of it properly.

💬 Not sure if you’ve got ragwort or something else? Snap a photo and give us a shout - we’re happy to help.

Let’s stay ahead of it and keep your horses safe this summer. 🌾🐴

Equine salt therapy (also known as halotherapy) is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy for horses that involves the inhalation of microscopic salt particles to support respiratory and skin health.

How It Works:
• Horses are placed in a salt therapy room or trailer, or a portable seaclimate machine is used in the horse box
• A halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt into fine particles and disperses it into the air

Inhalation and Absorption:
• The horse inhales the salt particles deep into its lungs and airways.
• The salt also settles on the skin, especially beneficial for horses with skin issues.
Effects on the Respiratory System:
• Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and breaks up mucus

It helps:
• Clear mucus and congestion from airways
• Reduce inflammation in the lungs
• Kill bacteria in the respiratory tract
• Improve breathing efficiency
Effects on the Skin:
• Salt can help reduce skin irritation, fungal infections, and dermatitis.
• It has antimicrobial and drying effects on skin conditions.

Sometimes the things we love the most can also bring us the deepest worry. For us, it was my daughter’s 21-year-old pony. After two terrifying breathing attacks, nights of stress and fear, and vet visits, we were left feeling helpless. Medications and management changes gave some relief, but the worry of “what if it happens again?” never went away.

I spent sleepless nights researching, determined to find another way. That’s when I came across equine salt therapy. We invested in a Seaclimate unit, converted a trailer into a salt chamber, and began treatments. The difference we saw was nothing short of incredible. Our pony could breathe easier, was more comfortable, and for the first time in a long time, we felt hope. To date she has not had any flare ups 🙌🏻

We never set out to start a business. But after witnessing what salt therapy did for us—and realizing so many horse owners had never even heard of it—I knew I had to share it. Slowly, word spread, and now we’ve been able to help many horses struggling with breathing issues, allergies, skin conditions, and overall wellbeing.

What began as a desperate search to save one pony has become a mission to give others the same chance. If you could take a moment to like and share, you’ll be helping us spread awareness of how beneficial salt therapy can be.

Thank you for reading and supporting this journey. 💙🐴

Equine salt therapy can be especially beneficial in autumn, when horses may face respiratory stress due to seasonal changes, stable dust, and fluctuating temperatures. Here’s a breakdown of how it can help and what to consider:

🍂 Why Autumn Matters

🦠 Dust & Mold Increase: stables are often closed up more as nights get cooler, increasing exposure to dust, hay particles, and mold spores.

😮‍💨 Respiratory Vulnerability: Horses prone to COPD/RAO (Recurrent Airway Obstruction, “heaves”) may flare up during this season.

🍊 Immune Support: Seasonal shifts can weaken immunity, making horses more susceptible to coughs, allergies, or infections.

☀️ Post-Summer Recovery: Horses may carry residual dust and pollen irritation from summer pastures.

Horses coming back into work after box rest often struggle with reduced lung capacity due to a buildup of dust, ammonia or allergens.

Equine salt therapy can be beneficial in this situation because:
😮‍💨 Respiratory health: Salt particles help clear mucus, reduce airway inflammation, and improve lung function—important after a period of reduced movement in a stable.
🦠 Immune support: Salt therapy can help boost natural defenses, reducing the risk of respiratory infections.
💪🏻 Recovery & performance: By improving breathing efficiency, horses may return to fitness more comfortably.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Stress reduction: The therapy sessions are calm and relaxing, supporting overall well-being after the stress of confinement.

It’s used as a non-invasive, drug-free support alongside veterinary care, physio, and a gradual return-to-work program.

Miss Lola has completed her three day salt therapy regime. Her owner reported an increased thirst post session. This is a positive outcome as the salt therapy aids with removal of toxins, improving the function of the digestive system, lymphatic system and circulation system; positively influencing the overall wellbeing of the horse.
