In developing the Five-Element typing system my intention is to help people better understand their horses and handle them in ways most suited to each horse. The obvious next step is to actually change the way we approach our horses once we have determined their type. Let’s look at this from the horse’s point of … Continue Reading »
What a great party we had here last Saturday. Even the weather cooperated. My brother, Morry, and I worked hard to get some finishing touches and cleanup done around the place but I paid to have the house professionally cleaned. My friend, Lopeta, is housecleaner supreme and she really gave the house a thorough going … Continue Reading »
I was watching one of my hens last night right before bedtime. I heard her making that sound they make when they are annoyed but I could not see any cats or lurking fox around bothering her. As a matter of fact she was all by herself stomping around outside the pen. This is the … Continue Reading »

Bud is coming along very well. He has not had any obvious discomfort for over 3 weeks and I feel his gut is finally on the mend. He is able to handle larger meals and is close to being on free choice low starch Kool and Kalm. He gets his beet pulp 3 times a … Continue Reading »
Do you ever feel like the journey is just too hard and there is no end or rest in sight? I used to feel this way all the time. I used to think the solution to everything was to do more. I worked and worked until I could not work anymore. Then I usually got … Continue Reading »
Guest post by Stephanie Valentine I recently acquired a new perspective on the residual income that we earn from our MLM businesses, and I just had to blog about it. It’s a fascinating view of the overlooked value of the monthly MLM check, and definitely worth thinking about! It Takes How Long to Build an … Continue Reading »
I got through the health care bill. For those who believe in big government this bill is a dream come true. It creates layers and layers of bureaucracy that will lead to many new government jobs but not, in my opinion, improve care. It also spends lots and lots of money. The question I kept … Continue Reading »
Sorry, no time to blog today. I am reading the health care bill. My legislator does not seem to have time so I will do my own research. So far I am seeing lots of layers of bureaucracy that make it hard to really figure out how any of it will improve the current system. … Continue Reading »

Whether it is a foot hung in the fence or puncture wounds from sharp objects these horses are accident prone. The Wood horse temperament will tear things up but it is done on purpose and they rarely get … Continue Reading »
I put a call in yesterday to my stock broker. I have been watching the market go up but I am feeling less and less comfortable with being part of this system.

Other than the chickens routinely allowing themselves to be eaten by predators, my animals have been behaving. That is until yesterday. I went out to feed and Sally was crying and there was no sign of Sissy. I listened and sure enough, I could hear Sissy crying back from a distance. Further investigation revealed Sissy … Continue Reading »
I got blood work and food sensitivity results back on Bud last week and they confirmed several of my suspicions. Bud is still losing protein through his gut and he has increased immune response going on. This would be consistent with food sensitivities and indeed his tests came back with border line positive to both … Continue Reading »
Things have really changed in the 30+ years I have been caring for horses. It used to be oats and pasture were all you needed to feed a horse and the only concern was getting enough grain in the diet to keep the them fat without causing colic or founder. Hay was given only when … Continue Reading »
I have been following the news about health care and also talking to many different people. I have seen parts of what is in the actual bill in congress and heard many experts debate the pros and cons. You know what. I don’t care! I don’t know who is responsible for the current problems but … Continue Reading »
I am working on a Five Element feeding book and I am very excited about encouraging people to grow vegetables and herbs as food for their horses. The drought we are having right now has pointed out to me how much I depend on my horses having some native pasture to balance out their needs. … Continue Reading »
Bud’s muzzle came in and it seems to be a good fit. He is not that impressed but has not tried to get it off. I let him out for about 2 hours yesterday and he got to hang out across the fence from the horses when they went down to the lower pasture. Bud … Continue Reading »
I often think about how my path in spreading the word about holistic healing compares to spreading the word about network marketing. I know one of my biggest challenges in holistic healing has been helping people understand the concept of cure, palliation and suppression. People always ask me what herb or homeopathic remedy they can … Continue Reading »
