“The rear of the hoof is possibly THE most important area for determining the health of the hoof. Bowker remarked that he kept trying to look elsewhere, but no matter what he did, it all kept coming back to the rear of the hoof! ” —

Annamaria Paul
Manager at Bose
Gwen is a wonderful teacher. When I first got my horse Jigs, he was pushy and didn’t listen. After a few sessions with her, he became a barn favorite for his good manner and sunny personality.
Gwen trained me I think, not JIGS :). I highly reccomend her.

Brian Reid
Owner, Horses Know the Way Home
Gwen,
What impresses me about you is, you look not only at the hoof but the whole horse and the whole horse environment. Who is the owner and where does the horse live and how are they treated and fed.
You stay on top of the the latest research and you follow up with pertinent information in a very timely fashion.

JOCELYNE, Quebec CAN
“… If it weren’t for you Gwen, my passion for horses would not have grown to what it is today. I started my online lessons with Gwen in 2008 and have taken many lessons with her. She really knows her stuff. My horse is healthy. My other horse, Corado, died of cancer at 18. He may not have lived as long if it weren’t for Gwen. Both of my horses never colicked, their feet were absolutely amazing (with Gwen’s guidance), never lame. … After 5 years of following Gwen’s method, I have proof that she knows her stuff (and if she doesn’t she’ll find the information). Love you Gwen. From Québec Canada”

RONN, New York :
Hi Gwen,
I first came to you because of my need to get ‘ real “ answers about natural hoof care. Your original Penzance website led me to enroll in your class Natural Hoof Care 101. I knew absolutely nothing at that time and had a horse that had recently foundered.
After working with you I working with you, I came away with the confidence that I had made the right decision to keep my horse as natural as possible, regardless of domestication.
I feel that overall your reasoning has been solid throughout the years and that is why I still call upon you as one of my two ” go to ” mentors regarding anything hoof. The other is K C LaPierre. Beyond the hoof, especially respecting nutrition, Gwen– u da girl !
—————————————–
JOAN, FL : ”My life and the health and vitality of all my animals has been forever transformed for the better. Thanks Gwen for all you give to all of us. You are a gifted healer and teacher.”
—————————————-
MA : Thank you Gwen, for your inspiring articles and ideas. Together with Mark Rashid, you are one of the greatest horsepersons of recent times.
—————————————-
VANESSA, NH :
“I would entrust the care and well-being of any horse, sound or lame, healthy or sick, troubled or at peace, to Gwen Santagate. I give her my highest recommendation because she is one of the most honest, wisest, and most circumspect people I have ever met. She goes the extra mile (or ten) for the horse’s sake and makes every animal’s total well-being her top priority. My horse recommends her, too -four hooves up! – because, thanks to her, and her alone, he is alive and well.”

Principles of Natural Healing
The Principles of Natural Healing
as noted in “The Nature of Animal Healing” by Dr. Marty Goldstein
-
Disease is an absence of health, and vice versa: health is an absence of disease. But health was here first!
-
Disease is a process used by nature in an attempt to get itself healthy.
-
Degenerative disease is not caused by nature. It is an aberration of nature (caused mostly by – in my opinion – man).
-
Cancer is nothing more than a severe aberration of nature manifested in and by the body.
-
Sickness is an excuse to get healthy.
-
Don’t mess with Mother Nature!
-
the mechanism for healing is already built into all individuals. Healing therefore occurs most rapidly when we realign with the natural laws governing that mechanism.
-
Pure health is spontaneous healing.
-
The immune system functions maximally and at peak efficiency in its totally unaltered state.
-
The degree to which we have to work toward health is directly proportional to the amount we have messed it up in the first place. Health is simple; disease brings in complexity.
-
Generally, it’s not what you put into the body that restores health; rather it’s what you let the body eliminate.
-
Physically, health isn’t everything, but without it, everything is nothing.
-
Food, including the necessary vitamins and minerals, was intended not to improve, but rather to maintain, the body. Therefore the need for treatment reflects the degree to which the individual has strayed from nature.
-
The body does not have to degenerate or age nearly as quickly as we presume. Each body cell has the ability to replicate itself 100 percent, and the process should continue for longer than we currently expect if we minimize deleterious effects on the cellular structure. It is only what we choose to do to the body, both consciously and unconsciously, that leads to the premature aging we experience.
-
Genetic predispositions to disease are only predispositions, and do not have to manifest if health is maintained. Once a genetically predisposed disease condition appears clinically, it can be reversed, although with more difficulty, as a course toward health is taken.
-
Nature and the being itself are the true healers. The practitioner, in the guise of being the healer, is truly the guide. Or: Physician, heal thyself!
-
Nature uses disease to establish balance. Only when our bodies are out of balance are we subject to disease, and if we can just endure the natural healing process, the disease will soon abate, having restored us to the balance that is optimal health!
About Dr. Goldstein: Dr. Goldstein is a graduate of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and runs a renowned clinic in South Salem, NY.
In his practice, Dr. Goldstein has had extraordinary success treating cancer and leukemia. He believes that the best way to cure an animal who is ill is to help the animal cure itself. We are not the true healers of our pets –THEY are. By treating the root of the problem instead of its symptoms, holistic medicine enables our pets to regain and maintain their own health.

It’s Been a Tough Winter
It’s been a tough winter – everywhere and for everyone. Even for the horses. Their bodies use up alot of energy to stay warm and keep their systems going. Like us, they can get spasms during chills and shivering that will get ‘stuck’ and need help releasing. They slip and twist on the ice – that, too, can set up spasms in the body. If these issues are not identified and released they can precipitate behavioral challenges for the handler and rider come spring conditioning. Challenges that cannot be ‘disciplined’ or ‘punished’ away but must be viewed from a whole horse perspective.
I offer FULL consults – both distance and on farm. From head to hoof, your entire horse is evaluated and ‘treated’ using my WHOLE HEALTH for the WHOLE HORSE protocol.
Email to me if you’d like more info: caballus@charter.net or shoot me a PM here on Facebook. I work with all ages, all breeds, all disciplines.
Your horse deserves a break today!
