When to call the vet for your horse? When is it okay to self-medicate your horse (with, for example, herbs) and when is it essential to call the vet? Is it ever acceptable to take the advice of Joe Bloggs from the “I love my pony” forum? (PS I made that up…) Or perhaps you are worried that your vet might become irritated when you call on a daily basis.
Well done on buying one of the best bred horses in South Africa. Best bred horses deserve the best supplements and that is why we would like to offer you a free month’s supply of the herbal horse supplement of your choice.
Many years ago, a horse belonging to a friend of mine died of colic. When the autopsy was done, the vet found a huge ball of minerals in his stomach. This ball of unabsorbed and probably unabsorbable minerals was what had caused his death. Since then I have been very wary indeed of what I put into my horse’s feed.
the herbal horse is hugely honoured and very excited to be the official supplement sponsor for the horses doing this awesome, amazing, incredible ride. Isabel and Lloyd are doing an enormous circular ride around southern Africa in an attempt to raise global awareness of the plight of our beloved rhinos. The horses they are using will be fed Ultimate mix for the duration of the ride, hopefully keeping them healthy and sound.
