There are many systems for typing people including the Five Element one my horse typing system is based on. If I were looking to develop a personal relationship I would use the … Continue Reading »
This is an article I wrote a while back on managing chronic laminitis, and it highlights some basic management issues that are always important when dealing with a horse with chronic laminitis.

I took Remi to a ranch horse versatility training last Friday. He is still acting real spooky so I wanted to see how he would do away from home. He was relaxed when I loaded him but when we got to the new place and he saw lots of riders with ropes he got very … Continue Reading »
My baby chicks are 6 weeks old now and the hen who sat on the eggs abandoned the chicks a few weeks ago. It was really sad to see the 4 little chicks all huddled up to sleep at night with no hen to tuck them under her wings. Low and behold as I … Continue Reading »

I was on my regular Monday night Xango training call and one of our trainers was talking about helping new people get started in network marketing. Because doing network marketing in a professional way requires developing certain skill sets, Mike made the comparison of starting a network marketing home based business to beginning a workout … Continue Reading »
Many people, including myself, have been bucked off by horses with what I call sticky feet. A horse with sticky feet does not move forward smoothly but instead lags back even though he has plenty of energy. Horses with sticky feet are not lazy horses and in fact can move very energetically but tend … Continue Reading »
My 4 chicks have made it so far but it has been a challenge. I have a fox that is determined to eat all my chickens and hawks that circle constantly. The fox actually made it into the yard because I did not have the lower clasp tight. When the hens started squawking I … Continue Reading »
It has been such a pleasure having my brother, Morry, staying with me. As soon as he started feeling better he began helping out. He does most of the grocery shopping, which I hate to do, and is a much better cook than me. He has spread 2 piles of cedar chips and is well … Continue Reading »

Hering’s law of cure: Two hundred years ago homeopathic doctors did not have laboratory tests or MRI’s to diagnose and monitor patients. Homeopaths depended entirely on their powers of observation and these skills had to be well developed.

Guest post by Stephanie So there you are, sitting in a restaurant, watching this person draw little circles on a paper placemat. The person says, “All you have to do is find five people, and those people will find five people. And then, voila, you have this giant network and even bigger checks showing up … Continue Reading »
On my last post I started talking about cure, palliation and suppression of symptoms. This post continues that post. Palliation – This is what happens most often when treating symptoms. We have been conditioned to expect this most people don’t mind giving medicines long term as long as they get rid of symptoms. Many horse … Continue Reading »
I have been approaching my practice and life from a holistic perspective for about 20 years. This has been a process. I did not wake up one morning or read a book and decide to be holistic. I did, however, grasp the concept and I have been striving to achieve it ever since. I want … Continue Reading »
I love to watch the show called deadliest catch. It is on the discovery channel and follows Alaskan crab fisherman through a season of fishing. The conditions these men work in are amazing and they are just as amazing in their toughness. This is not some made for TV reality show but the recording of … Continue Reading »
Well, my little hen that Tess and I rescued from the fox did not make it. I nursed her 4 days and she got strong enough to stand up and walk around. I mixed up algae water for her to drink because she could not eat solid food. It was interesting to me that … Continue Reading »
Remi, my Yang Ming temperament horse, is very well behaved with one exception. At feeding time he puts his ears back and gets too much in my space. If I confront him he backs up and I insist he put his ears up before I put feed in his bucket. Lately he has been getting … Continue Reading »
I have learned the hard way that I can’t let my chickens run loose. I do let them out occasionally if I am feeding or working right where they are. The fox around here are not shy and will come right up to the house. Most of my hens are too big to fly out … Continue Reading »
Guest Post by Stephanie Running Into MLM Snobs? I just got off the phone with a good friend who is joining our MLM group. He’s in a really tricky place right now, and I sympathize with him a lot. He’s torn between excitement about the huge possibilities of this new opportunity and his fear of … Continue Reading »
