An expression that I’m sure many of you are familiar with is “the eyes are the window of the soul”! Let this be a reminder to take heed of your equine companion’s state of health by paying close daily attention to his eyes. Your horse’s eyes will reflect a lot about both his mental and physical condition, revealing telltale signs if something may be amiss. Obvious physical expressions of unwellness include a glassy appearance, dullness, redness, Swelling, lachrymation (tearing) and other discharges, Itching/ irritation, small whitish marks or other irregularities on the surface of the eye, irregular pupil size, eye closing, aversion to touch, and photophobia (light sensitivity).

Horse supplies run the gamut from grooming products to nutritional supplements. But there is an essential horse supply that you shouldn’t leave your barn, or your saddlebag without. Horse first aid pack might be just the thing that could save your horse’s life.

Hollywood had often dramatized the situation wherein the rider shoots his horse because it is injured. Probably, he doesn’t have his first aid pack with him. No good comes from killing a horse over a minor injury if you could put it out of its agony without pulling the trigger.

Homeopathic Calendula is probably the best remedy for healing ANY kind of cut, wound, Ulcer, abrasion etc. Don’t believe me? Next time you get a paper cut, take a dose and see what happens! The healing power of this remedy is equally matched by it’s power to kill pain related to surgery, cuts, wounds, etc..

This recipe calls for pennyroyal. Believe it or not, Wal-Mart had some lovely pennyroyal plants this year and mine are growing and spreading beautifully. You can also buy dried pennyroyal leaf which would work as well.

Cut a large handful of pennyroyal (leaves and stems) and put them in a pint of water. Boil for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture and mix the liquid with an equal amount of mineral oil (I have used baby oil instead and it worked fine).
