RESVERATROL is “found in foods such as peanuts, pistachios, grapes, red and white wine, blueberries, cranberries, and even cocoa and dark chocolate. The plants from which these foods come make resveratrol to fight fungal infection, ultraviolet radiation, stress, and injury.” (https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/diet-rich-resveratrol-offers-health-boost-201405157153)

:Good sources of Leucine-rich foods: Eggs, game, chicken, fish, seaweed, pumpkin, peas and pea protein, whole grain rice, sesame seeds, watercress, turnip greens, soy, sunflower seeds, kidney beans, figs, avocados, raisins, dates, apples, blueberries, olives and even bananas.

You can easily add these into your horse’s diet and not only save $$ but reduce or completely eliminate the chemical-ridden processed feeds!

ON HERD IMMUNITY

THINK ON THIS — “The more members of the herd (community) who were exposed to an INFECTIOUS DISEASE (caps mine for notice) and developed natural immunity to it, the less of a threat that disease posed to the entire herd (community). ”

–Dr. Arthur W. Hedrich, a health officer in Chicago, Illinois who observed that, “during 1900-1930, outbreaks of measles in Boston, MA appeared to be suppressed when 68 percent of the children contracted the virus.”

Hmmmmmmm … Hedrich’s findings came about in 1900s to 1930s. 3 DECADES later, the “Herd Immunity” WORDING was changed to, “The more members of a herd (community) who were VACCINATED against an infectious disease and developed immunity to it, the less of a threat that disease posed to the entire herd (community). “

“Hedrich’s theory of herd immunity has been twisted by the myth that vaccine acquired artificial immunity is identical to naturally acquired immunity, which is false. That myth serves to perpetuate the idea that only strict enforcement of mandatory vaccination laws will protect society from disease, which is also false. ” —thevaccinereaction.org

Now … OTOH,
The immune system is the body’s defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. … phagocytes, cells that chew up invading organisms.

Doesn’t it make sense to FEED THE IMMUNE SYSTEM to increase the body’s [PREVENTATIVE] state of homeostasis?

Woo Hoo! it’s done!

Natural Hoof Anthology

Wow – finally. Over 600 pages of full-color photos and illustrations all about …. Instant download in easy PDF format! An amazing offer at just $97!! Priceless information in this anthology that you won’t find anywhere else.

NATURAL HOOF ANTHOLOGY

Yvonne Welz, Editor of “The Horses Hoof” has reviewed it and says,

Gwen’s passion for the horse shines through in this beautiful compilation of articles. There is a huge amount of info in here!! Whether you are a beginner to natural hoof care or a seasoned expert, you will appreciate the wealth of tips, advice, and things that make you go “hmmmm”! All articles are written from the “whole horse” perspective – that every single thing we do to the horse affects every other part of the horse. Gwen covers just about every topic related to horse care and hoof trimming you can imagine, with much food for thought, and excellent photos/illustrations. An enjoyable read for everyone on that eternal quest to create more natural lives for our beloved horses!

David Jones, Founder and Owner of HoofArmor LLC has also reviewed it and says,

When I switched from Engineering to Hoof Care 28 years ago, the cutting edge was aluminum horseshoes. The accepted procedure was to balance the hooves, perhaps symmetrically, 50 degrees in the front and 55 in the back, and nail on the proper size horseshoe. There were choices … you could get keg shoes, barrel shoes, rim shoes, gaited horseshoes, with or without pads and that was about it. Over the years I have learned a lot and out of necessity, by trial and error and observations, I found things that could actually help horses, barefoot hoof care being one of them. Now, with this book, you don’t have to go through that. I learned that there is more to hoof care than fixing the hooves, and that there are an enormous amount of factors that we are still learning about. Much of that is in this book and it will give you the head start that I wish I had. Don’t ever stop learning because your horse is depending on you.

And then Nick Hill, owner of V&T Hoof Specialists in Bulgeria … he has seen it and wrote,

I would urge anyone who is interested in horses to read Gwenyth’s book,  You may or may not agree with everything (like most things written), but it is written over several years from personal experience by a very experienced professional who really cares about horse welfare and is always willing to share knowledge. So go get yourself a short cut to experience!!

Oldies but goodies

While going through some old PENZANCE Natural Hoofcare website pages that I had created back in the early, early 2000’s, I ran across some good Q & A’s from Dr. Tom Tesky on NATURAL HOOFCARE that I thought would be interesting to re-post and review. Here is the list: (I hope they are visible in mobile devices but if not, I know they are on a PC.)

ASK DR. TOM ARTICLES

EMS & more …

“What people also do not understand is that horses do not become metabolic from starch, but from feeds that are high in glycemic index- how fast the blood sugar spikes.”

That is a quote from someone last year when discussing a particular brand of horse feed that is organic and whole.  There was quite the debate about the WHOLE OATS and dried fruits, etc. that are in this feed.

I would reply, “What people also do not understand is that the glycemic index does NOT tell how fast the blood sugar spikes but how much sugar is in the feed.

The GLYCEMIC LOAD tells how fast the food rises the blood sugar.

“A food with a high GI raises blood sugar more than a food with a medium to low GI. But the glycemic index does not take into account the amount of carbohydrate in a food. So glycemic load is a better indicator of how a carbohydrate food will affect blood sugar.

It seems even the ‘experts’ are not aware of this.

For example, an apple has a Glycemic INDEX of 67!

Whoa — way higher than we’ve been told any metabolic horse should eat, right?

Well, the Glycemic LOAD is just ……. are you ready for this?

5

That’s right. 5.  In fact, apples are known to HELP REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR!

One CARROT has a glycemic index of  71!!!  BUT …

the GLYCEMIC LOAD is just —

6!!!

Carrots and Apples are actually HEALING for horses when incorporated into a RAW FORAGE DIET!

Check out more articles on GLYCEMIC INDEX VS. GLYCEMIC LOAD HERE.

What is a RAW FORAGE DIET?

Well, simple … basically a salad! RAW greens, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables … ORGANIC, these days, are best.

A tailored ‘salad’ is best for horses that need nutritional and dietary help. There are specific ingredients that can help, specifically, with specific conditions like EMS, Cushings, IR, Arthritis, Heaves, Laminitis and more.
