EqWBR is Going GREEN for the WellBeing of the Horses.

In an effort make things healthier for the horses at the rescue we have been making more changes over the last several months to reduce toxins to the horses, in the barn, the house and throughout the ranch.  For many years we have been using herbs and essential oils along with alternative therapies like kinesiology, cranio-sacral, chiropractic and therapeutic massage in our effort to bring well-being to our rescues.

For some time now, a dear friend, supporter and Red Ryder's former mom, Darice Massey, has been sharing with me how they have reduced toxins to their animals and themselves and got me excited about things that we could do to help the horses and is doing a personal fundraiser for EqWBR.

In 2014, we started replacing toxic products with safer, environmentally friendly ones through a wellness company and after reading their Wellness Guide, we have been following their tested remedies for horses. Remedies for abscesses, arthritis, fly control, girth itch, to sheath cleaning, thrush and so much more.   Not to mention cleaning in the barn.



The first remedy I used was a liniment mixture for Maverick. Along with the therapeutic massage I gave him daily, the Previcox to help pain management, I worked mixture into his arthritic knees and painful hips and hocks. I could see the difference immediately as he would reach down and nuzzle my hands on his knees when applying it and he would walk off with a little freer movement. The gloves were just so my hands wouldn't get full of wet, shedding hair and dirt.   We also use a mixture on Babee's abscess and foundered feet.

After making posts on Facebook people started asking me about what we were using so I thought I would share with everyone and if you have any interest you can contact Darice for more information yourself.    Angel, Karen & Nancy have already done so.   If you are on Facebook, you can "Like" her page Shop Safer With Darice where you will find good information, or contact her at 760-662-6555 or daricemassey@gmail.com.

She has offered me a teleconference for anyone who wants to pick her brain, like I do, on May 20th at 7pm so if you want to join us, just let either one of us know via email and we can get you the details.  Not giving anyone a sales pitch here, just passing on the information because I like the responses I am getting from our horses and thought you might too. Tried, like, now sharing.

Thank you all for your continued support!
