Did you know that there only 200 certified chiropractors in the United States? Only 800 certified veterinarian acupuncturists in the world? And 9.2 million horses in the United States alone.

Many times there are simply not enough practitioners to go around. It once took me six weeks to get an appointment. By then my horse was fine. In the meantime, I saved money, and more importantly, I learned a lot from helping my horse get better. So, what is the solution?

More words you don't want to see on your feed label. Please read and understand what your are feeding your horse

• Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA)

• Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT )

• Ethoxyquin, an EPA-regulated pesticide. This now does not have to be labeled. It is a rubber stabilizer and aids as a preservative for long shelf life.

All of these substances are banned from human food, and some promote kidney disease, stomach tumors and more, so why should are be feeding them to your horse?

Even if you feed commercial feeds you can always add the Big Sky to remove the toxicants. Or Bentonite clay, Miracle Clay is the best.

Watch your protein intake
The University of Kentucky feels that a diet high in protein and low in fiber can predispose stressed horses to become ill. Among the disorders listed are Potomac horse fever, strangles, salmonella, ulcers, abortions, epiphysis, etc. Stress factors can be wefor forming splints, spavins, and ringbone. In the kidneys and bladder, it can form stones. By suppressing magnesium, an unusable calcium overload contributes to tight muscles and anxiety. So please check your protein intake.
