Navicular, Laminitis & Cushings – STOP focusing on the hoof

Navicular is an acute case of Diabetes.
Laminitis is Type I Diabetes.
Cushings is Type II Diabetes.

Contrary to popular belief these issues are not entirely hoof issues. Due to improper diet and trimming or shoeing, the body creates excessive amount of sugars the body cannot efficiently expel. In all herbivores, excess sugar and toxins must exit the body through the hoof in the heel area. If the toxins are unable to leave the body, pressure will build up in the heel area of the hoof which causes pain. To avoid the heel pain the horse will lean forward. When the horse leans forward it is no longer bearing weight in the heel area, causing the heels to contract. Navicular is simply contracted heels. Laminitis and Cushings are similar to Navicular, but with such extreme pressure in the heels the the bottom of the coffin bone is pushed up forcing the front of the coffin bone to rotate downward. The results are contracted heels, dropped soles, and the toe of the hoof turning up. A horse suffering from these issues typically has excessive long hair and weight gain, as well as white line disease which are all symptoms of too much sugar and toxins within the body.

The good news is there are simple things you can do to ELIMINATE Navicular, Laminitis and Cushings that DO NOT involve expensive treatments or protocols. They are explained in COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health.

STOP FEARING COLIC!

Colic is a disruption of the overall bodily functions due to muscles contracting upon internal organs. There are different degrees of colic. No matter how severe, you simply need to help your horse relax so it can return to functioning normally.

COLIC - Don’t let it overpower you. Watch how one client resolved her horse’s colic without the need for a vet or expensive medical intervention.

On your own, using simple Complete Horse Sense methods, you will relax your horse in a matter of minutes and ward off future bouts of colic without needing drugs, shots, and uncomfortable tubing. It can be a very peaceful experience.
These techniques are explained in COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health.

Cribbing is not due to BOREDOM

Cribbing is a lack of the proper minerals in the body. The horse is simply searching for minerals by sucking in air, biting and chewing on anything it can.

ELIMINATING Cribbing is very simple by providing your horse with proper minerals, as well as insure they are properly trimmed or shod. These two recommendations can be found in COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health.

DIARRHEA CAN BE SOLVED WITHOUT EXCESSIVE SUPPLEMENTS

Diarrhea is the result of a virus or bacteria in the system. Diarrhea can quickly lead to a state of dehydration as the chemical balance is shifted and the large colon can no longer absorb water into the body. Complete Horse Sense has developed a simple and inexpensive treatment protocol that will restore balance within the digestive system, allowing the body to eliminate the irritant.

RAIN ROT IS NOT CAUSED BY THE RAIN

Rain Rot cannot be cured with topical solutions. It is a virus and is in the blood supply, which explains why the majority of hair loss is along the spinal column. Implementing an inexpensive treatment protocol developed by Complete Horse Sense, will allow the body to eliminate the virus within the body and the hair will return within a matter of days.

EQUINE METABOLIC SYNDROME – IT’S SIMPLY A DISORDER OF THE BODY’S METABOLISM

Horse owners are told there is no cure for EMS – they are put on an expensive feed and pharmaceutical regimen, with the hope that one day there will be a cure. This is untrue. There is a cure. Changing to an inexpensive diet, an inexpensive mineral and altering the way they are trimmed or shod will eliminate the symptoms of EMS. It’s that simple.

THRUSH IS NOT DUE TO A BACTERIAL ENVIRONMENT

Thrush is an internal problem. It is wasted matter exiting through the cleft of the frog and cannot be cured with topical solutions. The body is telling you that the filter system is compromised. When thrush continues and becomes chronic, the body is continually cleaning itself out and the kidneys and liver are constantly being taxed. Simply eliminate the internal taxing of the filter system and Thrush will disappear. COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Healthprovides you with a step-by-step program to eliminate Thrush.

DSLD – Irreparable Damage to the suspensory ligaments- SIMPLY NOT TRUE

Horse diagnosed with DSLD do not have a degenerative disease. They have strained their ligaments by shifting their weight to alleviate the pain and pressure built up in the hooves. By simply changing the way they are trimmed or shod, along with simplifying their feed and mineral intake, the pressure will dissipate and the horse will begin to balance and heal itself on its own.

ABSCESSES & HOOF CRACKS ARE NOT CAUSED BY THE GROUND – STOP BLAMING YOUR FARRIER

Abscesses and cracks are the result of excess toxins in the horse’s body exiting through the weakest point in the hoof. As with many common ailments, they are a consequence of what is burdening the horse’s filter system – feeds, shots, worming and pharmaceuticals. Any foreign substance that disagrees with the body, and cannot be utilized and eliminated in urine, manure, or sweat must exit through the hooves. Abscesses and hoof cracks can be eliminated by changing what goes into the horse’s body and how it is trimmed or shod.

FLIES, MOSQUITOS, LICE AND PESTS – FLY MASKS AND FLY SPRAY ARE NOT NECESSARY

Insects clean up waste material are not around to simply torment your horse. Their sole purpose is to clean up the infected area of the horse. Mucus/crust present in or around the eyes means you have a system that is compromised. Insects on the belly are indicative of a digestive problem. Insects along the spine means there’s a virus running through the blood. Flies on top of the hips in mares indicate the horse has an ovary problem, which is usually due to muscles clamping upon the ovaries. Why are lice always in the mane? The lice are going to the hair follicle to extract out the blood and clean it up. They are there to clean the system, not tax it. Anytime there is an abundance of insects in a concentrated area you know that you have an internal problem in that area. A few bugs? No big deal – this is normal. COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health can show you a few simple methods to help your horse’s immune system and rid itself of pesky bugs.

RUNNY EYES – THIS IS NOT CAUSED FROM THE DUST OR PLUGGED TEAR DUCTS

When a horse has runny eyes, it means their immune system has been compromised. Eye ointments will only alleviate the symptoms, they will not address the underlying problem which is a taxed immune system. By simply following the methods outlined in COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health you will learn how to easily and inexpensively eliminate the root cause.

EXCESSIVE HEAT CYCLES – STOP TREATING THESE WITH PHARMACEUTICALS!

If your mare is always in heat it’s not because she’s just an unruly horse, she hurts. When there is a lack of sufficient hormones distributed through the body, the ovaries cannot regulate themselves on their own. Without a healthy amount of hormones regulating the ovaries, muscles contract causing pain and discomfort in the reproductive system. Using a synthetic hormone compromises the immune system because the body cannot process it appropriately. COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health. will show you how to easy it is for the horse to regulate its hormones on their own without introducing synthetic materials to their system.

BEHAVIOR, TRAINING AND SHOEING DIFFICULTIES – STOP BLAMING THE BREED

Behaviors are not inherent to specific pedigrees or breeds. Does your horse buck? What’s the first thing in the air? It’s the hindquarters. The horse is telling you to get off their sore kidneys and/or ovaries – depending upon the gender. Trailer loading difficulties? What’s the first thing a horse has to do before going into the trailer? It has to put their front legs in the trailer, putting pressure on the hindquarters which are already sore. A horse is made to work off its hindquarters. If you pick up a front leg and it lunges forward, what happens? Weight is distributed to the already painful hindquarters. Tell take signs of sore, contracting muscles include, but are not limited to, jerking the leg when a hind leg is picked up or hopping on a hind leg or leaning to one side so it looks/feels as if the horse will fall over.
Does your horse pull back when tied? If a horse has pain in the hindquarters, it will lean forward to get its front legs behind the plane of the shoulders and therefore taking the pressure off the hind end. When they are tied, they can’t do this and will try to throw their weight forward by rearing back or raring up.
Is your horse head shy? This is a pain issue, not a training issue. The horse has a headache and their immune system is compromised.
By simply following the methods outlined inCOMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health you will learn how to easily and inexpensively eliminate the root cause of behavioral, training and shoeing difficulties in a short period of time.

WORMS & BOTS – THEY ARE HERE FOR A PURPOSE – FOR PROTECTION, NOT DESTRUCTION

Worms & Bot flies basically serve the same function in nature – clean up what the body can’t. They are not designed to destroy the animal; rather they are there to help fix a larger underlying issue. Once you read COMPLETE HORSE SENSE – A Guide to Your Horse’s Overall Health you will understand how to eliminate this problem without the use of manufactured wormers.
