Updated: Oct 6, 2023


As an equine therapist, I'm passionate about helping my clients understand the importance of natural equine health. In today's post, I want to share some valuable resources that have shaped my approach and knowledge in this field.


Strongyles larvae causing musculoskeletal issue including back pain

One issue that occurs more often than one might expect is a larval problem causing musculoskeletal issues. This can be difficult to diagnose with traditional medicine but can be found using osteopathic techniques. I often refer my clients to "The Whole Horse" for insights into treatment protocols for L4 larvae at the anterior mesenteric artery (Link: Treatment Protocol for L4 Larvae at Anterior Mesenteric Artery). This article provides valuable information on managing this specific issue.

Pre-Purchase Exams that go deeper than the surface.

Another critical topic is pre-purchase exams to ensure you're making the right decisions when bringing a new horse into your life. An exam that goes deeper than surface level and lameness can help you to ensure the long term health of your new horse, or uncover issues that may arise in the future. You can find comprehensive guidance on this subject at "The Whole Horse" (Link: Pre-Purchase Exam).


Osteopathy as a horse health tool.

Many people are unfamiliar with osteopathy, but it's a pivotal element in your horse's health. It revolves around the musculoskeletal system. Through gentle manipulations and holistic approaches, osteopathy enhances circulation, reduces pain, and boosts overall vitality. Whether it's addressing lameness, managing chronic conditions, or optimizing performance, osteopathy plays a vital role in ensuring your horse's health and happiness.


For an in-depth exploration of this topic, I recommend reading "What is Osteopathy?" by Equine Wellness Magazine (Link: What is Osteopathy?).
