Where can I find a gypsy/ irish cob close to New York for a good price?

Hold your horses!! I am so excited by these responses.!! I went to the animal communicators class this past weekend and I actually read 9 animals..... but since I left the class, I've not gotten any readings... but that's okay... I saw it happen for myself and I can go back and take the class now whenever I want for practice since I had my first lesson....

When my other sweet horse, Toby, had a tendon issue my trainer introduced me to an oil... oh geez, I always forget the name.... Melrose I think it was, to bring circulation to his tendon.. and just a wee bit.... I guess I should ask him where he got the oil from... when I was in my class this weekend I learned that the accupuncture point for Olivers jaw is on his ear... and I've been rubbing there... right away he relaxes. Is it not just amazing how for such huge animals they are actually so sensitive, and so stimulated by natural stuff??? I love that.... so where do you get oils from??????

Hi Jenn, You may not have to desensitize Oliver pre-accupuncture. My experience with it (as a human who has had it and successfully solved tennis/golfer's elbow with it) is that it hurts very little. however, if you want to relax him try the herbs that relax humans, valerian, skullcap-I think-check it out for horses, and hops. I have used them, in a mixture sold by a herbalist for horses, on spooky youngsters going into new situations, and it took the edge off their fear, apparently, at least they were considerably calmer.

I would guess that you find a number of us do not poo-poo horse/pet/human psychics; it is something I can do with my horses, to some extent.

Hi you guys.... how is everyone today? I have a question.... my horse Oliver just got diagnosed by his animal psychic..... laugh if you will, but she came up with his problem when no one else did.... anyway, he has TMJ and Migraines from it.... she came with a light that simulates accupuncture and he seemingly felt so much better... I wonder if there is anything I can do to ready him for accupuncture... he's a little crabby somedays and might need some desensitizing... any suggestions? If I come up with anything I will pass it on.. TMJ can be quite debilitating..... he's apparently had it since he was a baby..... I have it too.. I just got fit with my nightguard at the dentist this morning... he and I are gonna be fixed up soon and on the road..... less crabby than we usually are.... happy trails... Jen

Dear friends, I thought you'd want to know the progress being made to help save the wild horses that have been in danger of a mass slaughter.

I am a DIY person and preventitive medicine is my middle name. Because vetting and horse care can be very expensive I find the homeopathic remedies are very effective and economical. Here I pay around $12 for a vial of little tablets which lasts months. Sometimes even a one time administration will prompt healing in the horse, that's what the remedies do, they prompt healing in the patient by balancing the chemistry in the body to heal itself. That's a loose definition of what it does.

Elaine, go to a naturopath or health food store. Here our local health food store carries all kinds of "remedies" which can be used on horses. Arnica is the most versatile and effective remedy. Usually the store owners can direct you. Also, google on line to learn more about arnica and natural remedies, and where to get them locally, if you have never used them it will open a whole new world of healing for you and your horse.

Cindy were would i buy that? I am trying to find someone in the area who is into equine massage but so far i have not came across anyone. I had him out walking last night and he was doing a lot better. I sure hope i am able to ride him again as he is my best horse.
thanks

Have you tried equine massage therapy or accupuncture for horses. Homeopathic remedies also work well to ease the pain. I suspect what is happening now with him is due to that ice injury. Just like us horses over compensate in another area when they get injured, so when we go to help them we always have to be aware that something else will most likely turn up somewhere else. Sounds like the ice injury was pretty severe, he is still quite a young horse. Try some Arnica it is amazing how it eases the pain and how quickly it works. Hopefully he just has a pinched nerve due to inflamation, the arnica will ease that.

I am not sure if he slipped or what has happened to make him so sore in his back leg. 4 years ago he severed an artery on the ice on his right front leg and ever since than he has not been the same.
i have been working on his front legs but i think he over compensates for the original injury and now i have been reading about stifles and almost think that is what he may have.
just not sure how to fix it or what to do.
