April Leggett asked Angela to do a Hair Testing consult on her competition horses recently, and has been very pleased with the results.  Here's what April has to say: "Hi Angela, I just wanted to personally thank you and your team for their help with TANZA over the past couple of years. I am pretty certain I have my old horse back and I could not be happier. I have just returned from a Nationals Training weekend and she went awesome. On her toes, electric and wanting to run for the first time in years.. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I even got my Chiropractor

My heart goes out to all those who continue to be affected by fire and smoke across the country right now. We all know smoke can be toxic and affect the lungs and respiratory tract. Smoke affects every living being, it can do damage before you realise it. Horses should not be worked in smokey conditions, if they must work then keep it to low exertion over minimal time. If they’re worked hard then they may do irreparable damage to the lungs. I see many horses with breathing problems when we have little air pollution so please keep this in mind. Quite a number of

So much of Australia is or has been on fire. Thank goodness for all our fabulous dedicated enduring firies. Lungs and airways are being assaulted as we breathe the smoke laden air, particularly as the fires burn for extended periods of time in many areas. Here are my quick tips on which herbs that can help you and your horse’s respiratory systems. Aniseed – Pimpinella anisum. Aniseed relieves spasmodic cough, will help clear the lungs. Echinacea – angustifolia or purpurea. Echinacea boosts the immune system and is indicated in all airways dis-eases like cough, cold, conjunctivitis, sinusitis, bronchitis. Fennel – Foeniculum vulgare. Another useful herb which helps

Here's a story from our client Veronica Luxford, about her horse Bucky. "4 years ago I started immunizing my open winning barrel horse Tyrone Howdy Cowdy aka “Bucky” for Hendra. Over the next 12 months he gradually stopped winning and developed a dry, intermittent cough. The cough progressed to a wheeze and within 3 years – I had a horse who I couldn’t even ride down the road. I had tried repeated veterinary interventions which initially helped but he became resistant within 2 treatments. I tried salt therapy, multiple cough mixtures, oils, massage, chiropractics etc etc. Last year he almost died from a respiratory/asthmatic

Frankie was the kind of horse you come across fairly regularly.  Nappy, cranky, lackluster and unwilling to go forward. When Karen contacted me she had owned Frankie, a 9 year old Quarterhorse gelding, for 2 years.  She bought him from a woman who had owned him for 3 years, who in turn had bought him from a stock station for her daughter to ride. The daughter quickly lost interest so Frankie had been turned out onto large scrubby, drought affected land with some cattle. Karen was interested in Frankie as he was quite well bred and she wanted to campdraft him. Karen told me that

Bug Buster is a fabulous mix - it tastes foul but by golly it works!  It was initially formulated when Angela's partner had been diagnosed with probable septicaemia (blood poisoning). His temperature was through the roof, pulse weak and thready, he felt like he was dying. The local rural hospital had no available beds and told Angela to bring him back the next day. Angela had only been in practice treating humans for two years. All the medical and herbal books literature said don’t mess about with septicaemia, get to a hospital, but they had just been sent home!  She was at her

Long term client Joan reached out to Angela Davison and The Horse Herbalist as she was concerned about the escalating problems her daughter Amelia was having with her young horse, George. He had been started 12 months prior and had been brought along slowly and quietly. All was well until they went to their first small training day. He started the day a little nervous (understandably) but settled quite well as she rode him all round the showground and in between the rings in the company of a friend. She tied him to the float, which he’d experienced several times at home, with
