Did You Know...
7.1 million Americans are involved in the industry as horse owners, service providers, employees and volunteers. 3.6 million and 4.3 million of those participated in showing and recreation, respectively, with some overlap in cases of people who participate in both activities. 941,000 people participated in racing in either a professional or volunteer capacity. 1.9 million people own horses. In addition to the people actually involved in the industry, tens of millions more Americans participate as spectators. Horse & Acorns- Acorns can create a BIG problem for horses.
While Patti was out of town, not only did her horse devour acorns, the girl who was caring for Gypsy neglected to give her water and her hay, another no-no. Gypsy became impacted, her bowels as hard as a rock. They tried mineral oil with no results. Since Gypsy was 22, surgery was not option. The vet told Patti she had no choice but to have the horse "put down" would be back the next day to do it. The horse had been suffering from colic days and rolling, which they do when they're in pain. A backhoe was brought bury Gypsy the next day. Patti refused to believe the situation was hopeless. She remembered the Herb-Lax I had sent her. Herb-Lax®![]() Promotes Regularity*
A diet rich in fiber, plenty of liquids, and regular exercise all contribute to regularity. For occasional periods of irregularity, gentle Herb-Lax can help.*
An original Dr. Shaklee formula, Herb-Lax contains an enhanced prioprientary blend, including Senna leaf, which has been used for thousands of years as a natural laxative, plus other complementary herbs.
Since she trusted Shaklee completely, she got the Herb-and the turkey baster and headed back to the barn. She gave Gypsy 30 Herb-that night. The next morning Gypsy's bowels started to move and didn't stop. noon, Patti called the vet to tell her Gypsy's colic was better, her bowels had moved and she was grazing in the pasture. The vet was at a loss for words and told Patti, "I was getting ready to leave. I would have been there in an hour to put Gypsy down!" Patti decided to give each horse 10 Herb-Lax a day until the acorns were gone. Since the dogs were also eating them, she gave them each 1 Herb-Lax plus DTX. She said the acorns cause poisoning in the system and create a very toxic
condition. Patti received a phone call from a girl who was having the same problem with her three year old filly. This horse was also impacted, dehydrated and had a tube down its nose to get water into its system. They gave this horse 30 Herb-Lax every 6 hours and its bowels started moving. She called Patti the next day to tell her horse was fine. Contributed by Pam Hoeppner Did You Know... Arabians have one less rib, one less lumbar bone, and one or two fewer tail vertebrae than other horses.
Horse Thrush- Spray diluted Basic G into horses' hooves to discourage bacterial infections such as thrush from manure/moisture. Works great for prevention and works even if the bacteria has gotten a "foot" hold.
