All natural horse care in the west of Ireland

Dermot McCourt (www.hoofsculpture.com) and his son John, together with my farrier Paddy Jr Van Raepenbusch came to see how Baby was doing today and to carry out some further treatment in our endeavour to make her comfortable.

This is a picture of Baby today 2nd February 2010

Woke up to 3 inches of snow this morning. I had to deliver something up to a neighbour in the village about 2 miles away but didn't think it would be too safe in the car.

So I tacked up Polly, including Rhythm Beads with jingle bells to help calm her, and decided to attempt it on horseback!! 

Meet Rhianne!! A Welsh Section A show pony. Rhianne and her owners came over for a play session today to introduce them all to NH. I met Ann, one of Rhianne's guardians, at the Parelli Celebration in November and offered to help Ann and her husband Garth familiarise themselves with NH. This was Rhianne and her owners first hands on experience with NH.

Harley's warts have gone!!!

7 weeks after starting treatment with Sarc-ex and Thuja cream with 2 weeks of Restore, Harley's warts have completely gone.

When I first spoke to my vet he suggested that it could be 6-9 months months for the virus to run it course so I am happy to sea the back of them in just under 8 weeks.

Poilly is on the same treatment for her sarcoids and while they haven't gone yet they certainly appear to be shrinking. Will keep you all posted on her progress
