Horseworks talks. Join us with

0:06

founder April love as we talk

0:06

about equine care. Learn what

0:10

you can do to keep your horse

0:10

happy, healthy, rideable and

0:15

sound through their 30s. Have a

0:15

question you'd like to submit to

0:19

the podcast? Just email

0:19

[email protected] for

0:24

a chance to get it featured on

0:24

the next episode.

0:26

So, I actually work

0:26

on people as well, too. So, you

0:57

know, on a people skeleton,

0:57

because I don't have a horse

1:30

So that's the same thing on

1:30

horses. So where's the first

1:31

skeleton. Here's our first rib

1:31

and a lot of the chiropractors

1:34

serve on the horses? Jean, my UK

1:34

instructor found me in 2010 and

1:39

came to the States because she

1:39

was doing cranial sacral. And

1:43

everything kept pointing back to

1:43

the thoracic outlet impingement

1:48

and the first rib but no one

1:48

else was talking about it. So

1:53

and we can post a picture like

1:53

this, you know, online, but here

1:57

is a horse skeleton. Okay, you

1:57

know, and you can see where the

2:02

first rib is all the way up deep

2:02

under the point of the shoulder.

2:07

So all it does, is it tweaks a

2:07

little bit sideways and how does

2:08

and body workers are missing

2:08

getting this adjusted. And when

2:12

it get tweaked? So horse running

2:12

through a pasture in winter mud

2:17

bog, gopher holes, pulling a

2:17

front shoe with a hind some

2:21

horses that continually have

2:21

both first ribs misaligned are

2:25

leaning over a solid fence to

2:25

graze on the other side. A horse

2:30

trailer straight load, two horse

2:30

straight loads stopping hard and

2:35

the shoulders get pushed. Okay,

2:35

all of those things, especially

2:40

in foals, you'll see a foals

2:40

running and take like a whole

2:44

tough tumble somersault and like

2:44

we need to go work on that foal.

2:45

we take a fall, neck muscles up

2:45

here, when your neck kind of

2:49

So on this picture, which is

2:49

hard to see, but I have it on

3:09

YouTube and I have it in my

3:09

classes and stuff. The right

3:21

goes this way, and your shoulder

3:21

kind of goes the other way. Just

3:28

shoulder has no gap. I don't

3:28

know if you can see this with

3:48

the glare and the left shoulder

3:48

has a gap here. So all it is is

4:01

kind of tips that rib up. It's

4:01

not like ribs come out. They're

4:09

that the shoulder can't come

4:09

through freely. Not that it's

4:10

So the foals it starting as

4:10

early as you know, a couple of

4:14

days old couple of weeks old

4:14

it's starting the starting the

4:18

high low hoof syndrome. It's

4:18

creating tendon and suspensory

4:22

strain and tear. When we think

4:22

it's a weakness, we think, oh,

4:26

this horse just doesn't have the

4:26

muscling to go to the right. So

4:29

causing a lot of pain but the

4:29

right shoulder can't move

4:30

we need to work him or if the

4:30

right shoulder can't work

4:33

correctly. The left one has to

4:33

work twice as hard but a horse

4:37

works the diagonal right? So if

4:37

it can't move this shoulder,

4:39

not poking. So people say oh,

4:39

it's first ribs out, and I try

4:41

it's going to kind of lift its

4:41

body and tweak it and it's going

4:45

to go back to the left hind leg.

4:45

So if first rib is out on the

4:48

freely. So on this horse, okay,

4:48

he wouldn't have wanted to take

4:49

right side, the right stifle is

4:49

going to have issues this hip is

4:53

going to be back on the horse

4:53

and this inside hock on the left

4:57

hind is going to be tighter and

4:57

that foot turning in, trying to

5:01

pick up to give you right lead

5:01

canter, when really could just

5:05

fix all that in five minutes.

5:05

And that's what my program

5:08

teaches you. right lead canter. So in how

5:09

he's loading the hoof through

5:09

On horses on the left side, I

5:09

had a client call me and it

5:15

and correct the lingo to

5:15

misaligned so all the ribs

5:16

creates the horses that roar.

5:16

And the horses that roar, it's a

5:20

flap, um, dealing with recurrent

5:20

laryngeal nerve, okay. And this

5:27

is only if it's on the left side

5:27

of the horse. So when I worked

5:29

the lifetime of the horse, the

5:29

left foot got bigger. That's

5:31

on the horse, all the cranial

5:31

bones were compressed on the

5:35

left side compressing this end

5:35

of the nerve and the first rib

5:39

was out on the left side

5:39

compressing the other end of the

5:41

nerve down in a thoracic outlet.

5:41

And the nerve flap starts to get

5:46

really lazy. So the horses when

5:46

they're worked, will have this

5:46

should be able to move. Okay, so

5:46

when I work on people's issues,

5:49

your wide hoof your loading

5:49

hoof. So that would be the 51-52

5:50

kind of roaring sound. And the

5:50

vets will say, Well, you just

5:54

have to keep riding until it

5:54

gets worse so we can do the

5:57

surgery and they call it the tie

5:57

back surgery. And once you do

6:03

that three to five thousand

6:03

dollars and you're continually

6:06

tying that flap back, the horse

6:06

can get dust and food and debris

6:09

degrees with the low flat heel.

6:09

This would be your clubby foot

6:10

straight down in its lungs, it

6:10

doesn't have that open closed

6:14

door. So on that horse, we did

6:14

the cranial decompression on the

6:19

left side, fix the first rib

6:19

issue opened up that home there

6:24

we did cold laser treatment for

6:24

nerve tissue breakdown and

6:25

thoracic outlet, frozen shoulder

6:25

tendinitis, bursitis, carpal

6:29

regeneration and fed some herbs

6:29

to help nerve repair. And he

6:30

that 54 or 55 degrees can cut

6:30

this heel down, wouldn't want to

6:34

went from a stage four roar,

6:34

which meant she would lead him

6:40

next to the golf cart and he

6:40

couldn't even trot. Without a

6:43

rider. He couldn't get the air

6:43

to being able to trot freely on

6:49

a lunge line and be worked again

6:49

just not be a competition horse.

6:51

take right lead canter. But on a

6:51

barrel racing horse, that

6:52

So it was nice to see that we

6:52

could you know help repair some

6:57

of that. So especially if I see

6:57

performance horses, racetrack

7:01

horses, hunter jumpers, if they

7:01

have the cranial bones

7:03

tunnel syndrome locked up neck,

7:03

it's all in the first rib,

7:05

compressed on the left and the

7:05

first rib on the left, they're

7:07

going to start having those

7:07

breathing issues. So it's really

7:11

important to address all this as

7:11

a foal.

7:11

shoulder has kind of already

7:11

tipped that way so they can do

7:14

I'm seeing lately with all our

7:14

hays and grains being so mineral

7:18

deficient and you know we've

7:18

lost most of our hay fields and

7:23

what they're growing they have

7:23

to put so many chemicals on and

7:26

Roundup Ready seeds and

7:26

everything to get better crops.

7:29

That first rib is being out on

7:29

80% of all the horses I work on

7:31

to good barrels to the right.

7:31

But they can't get the shoulder

7:35

on a regular basis, even my

7:35

monthly horses, there's

7:38

because on us, it locks up the

7:38

collarbone. So every time you go

7:38

something in their bodies that

7:38

it's not holding that alignment.

7:43

We have you know, Hawaii here

7:43

rain mud often you know, so

7:47

they're slipping and sliding in

7:47

it, that kind of stuff. But it

7:51

used to only be once in a while

7:51

thing and now it's all the time.

7:52

around this rib to take a barrel

7:52

to the left. So I can walk up to

7:55

So when I look at horses today,

7:55

this is 2023, every single horse

8:00

I see has first rib out on one

8:00

side, if not both.

8:05

And the compensation of that

8:05

actually tips up the he can't

8:10

move, you know, this shoulder,

8:10

this hip is actually coming back

8:14

a horse and just by the muscling

8:14

around the shoulder say doesn't

8:15

but tipping up. So if it's out

8:15

on both sides, the illium

8:16

to use that shoulder, you're

8:16

using these neck muscles to

8:19

ischium the illium hip right

8:19

here is actually tipping up on

8:23

the horse, putting the psoas in

8:23

spasm and that's creating the

8:28

roach back where the horses are

8:28

up in here just these two bones

8:32

shifting down your reining

8:32

horses have that all the time

8:35

from the sliding stop. So that

8:35

needs to be addressed like every

8:36

want to you know do left barrel.

8:36

So you probably do two rights

8:38

week when they're working. Keep

8:38

the hips in perfect alignment.

8:42

So my whole program is kind of

8:42

based on the fact that 99% of

8:49

the other professional equine

8:49

body workers out there aren't

8:51

bring the shoulder forward and

8:51

people will get a really short neck.

8:52

addressing the first rib.

8:52

Because it's so deep under the

8:55

shoulder, they don't know how to

8:55

get to it without hurting the

8:57

and a left or doesn't want to

8:57

jump on the right lead because

8:59

horse, it's way under the point

8:59

of the shoulder. And the method

9:04

that I developed is a two person

9:04

move where they're voluntarily

9:08

doing a movement and then the

9:08

rib just drops back in. So I

9:12

teach the gallbladder 20 line

9:12

checkpoint and how to check if

9:15

your horses first rib is out of

9:15

alignment. And if you go out to

9:17

he can't get that shoulder up

9:17

and around.

9:18

all the horses in your field,

9:18

you'll see that they're all out

9:21

of alignment and you'll have

9:21

tight tendons you'll have front

9:24

hooves out of balance and rear

9:24

hooves out of balance all

9:27

because of this one little

9:27

bugger right there.

9:33

One little bugger that makes

9:33

lots of big issues. Um, so you

9:39

told us the importance of it how

9:39

you know the misalignment can be

9:42

caused but so now how would we

9:42

identify and also how often

9:47

would you say to check for the

9:47

misalignment?

9:50

So if people are doing my yoga

9:50

program once you do this whole

9:55

body work program, the horse

9:55

should be able to turn back on

9:58

the carrot stretch and touch the

9:58

nose all the way back to the

10:01

stifle. And if you're doing that

10:01

every day because I tell on do

10:05

that when you're feeding the

10:05

horse in the morning. And if

10:09

they're touching both stifles

10:09

you're usually pretty good. All

10:12

of a sudden you have a short

10:12

side, you have something to fix

10:16

before you tack it up and ride

10:16

it. So and then that's one part

10:20

of the yoga stretch that checks

10:20

the whole neck and the front end

10:24

a little bit, but it lets you

10:24

know what's going on up there.

10:27

And if you need something,

10:27

because, you know, I was

10:30

training endurance horses, so we

10:30

turn them out on three acres,

10:33

they're flying up and down the

10:33

hill, you know, so we had to

10:37

check that every day before you

10:37

tack it up and ride it because

10:40

once you tack it up, and ride

10:40

the horse with the first rib

10:43

out, you have the whole

10:43

compensation program again.

10:47

So I actually have a YouTube

10:47

video on how to check for first

10:51

rib misalignment. And if you

10:51

look at gallbladder 21, it

10:55

actually says neck to shoulder

10:55

connection. So we'll put you

10:59

know one finger on each side of

10:59

that point. And I'll just wiggle

11:04

with this finger just a little

11:04

bit, and does the whole chest of

11:08

the horse shoot over? And then

11:08

we'll do this side, we'll wiggle

11:11

a little bit. And you're looking

11:11

does this you know, shift over?

11:15

So and we can give you that

11:15

video link. But it's not a push,

11:19

I get people that push so hard.

11:19

I said yeah, if you push that

11:21

hard, the horse is gonna move,

11:21

it's just finding that gall

11:24

bladder 21 checkpoint on each

11:24

side, just the tip of your

11:28

finger, wiggle, wiggle, does the

11:28

horse move, wiggle, wiggle and

11:32

does the horse move? The release that I do is so

11:34

easy, if you do it correctly,

11:38

that if the horse doesn't need

11:38

it, you're not gonna hurt them.

11:41

And if it's kind of iffy, the

11:41

first rib could be just a little

11:45

bit tweaked. So I just tell

11:45

people do it anyway. And then

11:48

you'll notice the second part of

11:48

my horse yoga is all about, you

11:54

know, when we do the front leg

11:54

circles, you know, up and

11:57

around, it's freeing all these

11:57

ribs under the shoulder. So if

12:03

your horse can't turn barrels,

12:03

or is got a heavy choppy trot,

12:06

you know, going to check the

12:06

first rib first.

12:09

But, you know, so ribs come in

12:09

and tuck into the spine and

12:15

little synovial joint. So if

12:15

one's out, the rest are going to

12:19

be tweaked by like tight

12:19

intercostal muscles, you know,

12:23

when you've had like a pinch in

12:23

your side or a spasm in your

12:26

side is gonna shorten you that

12:26

so the whole point of the

12:30

picking up the front leg and

12:30

doing the up and around leg

12:34

circles, is actually to free up

12:34

all of these ribs. And once

12:38

these are free, your horse can

12:38

be light on the front end. And

12:41

then we're riding the weakest

12:41

point. So you know, in my horse

12:45

yoga and stuff, we always show

12:45

like lift all the ribs, which

12:49

kind of frees up the spine. And,

12:49

you know, because your horse's

12:53

spine should be flexible, like a

12:53

cat, you get some horses that

12:56

are just trotting with their

12:56

head up and they're back hollow

12:58

and they don't have any swing

12:58

and movement. You know, after

13:02

our program, when the horses

13:02

come in, they're walking with

13:06

their head up and down like this

13:06

like using the nuchal ligament

13:10

to try and bring each leg

13:10

through like this. And when they

13:13

leave, they look like you know,

13:13

someone that would be carrying

13:16

like one of those big, you know,

13:16

things on their head that heads

13:20

going this way and the shoulders

13:20

are going this way, and the

13:22

whole barrel is swinging to the

13:22

left and then swinging to the

13:25

right, and the hips are doing

13:25

this. And then you know, you

13:28

have all these different, you

13:28

know, body parts that can move

13:31

correctly. They just totally

13:31

changed when we do this program

13:36

in one hour, they get four

13:36

inches longer, two inches

13:39

taller, and they just seem to

13:39

expand because if you've seen

13:42

people in pain, you just shut

13:42

down and you're like this, you

13:46

know, you're not like like in a

13:46

yoga class where you feel like

13:49

you really expand and so that's

13:49

what I like to give to our

13:53

people on how to diagnose you

13:53

know,

13:56

So my horse I would go out every

13:56

day. Check first rib and check

14:01

that withers, mid rib, hips, I

14:01

would just do a little

14:04

adjustment, get all those back

14:04

in alignment, everything thats

14:06

standing on the four hooves and

14:06

go back in. It was like 90

14:10

seconds. You know, but that's

14:10

how we did 2000 miles of

14:15

endurance with no vet pulls and

14:15

no lamenesses, keeping his body

14:20

in alignment every week, not

14:20

waiting for someone once a month

14:24

to come and charge me 90 to $120

14:24

and mark all these little things

14:30

on the sheet with big words that

14:30

I couldn't understand. And I's

14:33

ask 'em, so how did my horse get

14:33

this way? What do I need to do

14:36

so it doesn't come back? And

14:36

they're like, I don't know. See

14:39

you next month. While you bring it up, do you

14:41

have any preventative tips to

14:45

keep that first rib in

14:45

alignment?

14:49

It's happening on all the horses

14:49

and it's just the mineral

14:53

deficiencies and everything so I

14:53

just tell people to check for it

14:58

every week and learn how to do

14:58

the release that's in my Equine

15:01

Musculoskeletal Unwinding

15:01

program, because it's just a

15:04

carrot, a friend holding up a

15:04

leg doing that adjustment, and

15:09

keeping that horse sound. If you

15:09

have a horse that goes from an

15:13

immaculate stall, to an

15:13

immaculate arena, you're

15:17

probably not going to have those

15:17

issues because he's not running

15:19

and playing. He's not stumbling.

15:19

He's not, you know, cantering on

15:23

right lead and the foot goes

15:23

down in a mud bog. So it's when

15:28

that leg goes down, and the

15:28

shoulders pulled on that

15:30

actually tweaks the ribs. So,

15:30

yes, if you have that perfect

15:35

environment, but that's not a

15:35

horse that's able to play. So if

15:38

you're trying to give your horse

15:38

that happy out life where they

15:41

can run and back and jump,

15:41

again, I have to check it every

15:44

week. And that's why I empower,

15:44

you know, our followers and my

15:49

students to learn how to do

15:49

this, and they go help their

15:52

friends. Oh, yeah, you need to

15:52

fix your horse. here, let me do

15:55

that for you. Youu know, so it's

15:55

just sharing all the information

15:59

and empowering others, because

15:59

it's a need to fix every week

16:03

thing. I definitely kind of like what

16:05

you brought up about how you,

16:08

there's nothing you really can

16:08

do to prevent it. And I know

16:11

that probably for people, when

16:11

they start learning about all

16:14

these things, they're like, oh,

16:14

my gosh, this is wrong. This is

16:16

wrong. I didn't know I was

16:16

supposed to be doing with this

16:19

with my horse, but it's just,

16:19

it's just a matter of the

16:23

horse's life. And it just is.

16:26

Right. So when they were

16:26

Mustangs and you know, they'd

16:30

run 5 to 10 miles looking for

16:30

the minerals and the plants that

16:33

they eat, they needed in their

16:33

feed. And, you know, if they

16:37

pulled a first rib out, they

16:37

would be the slowest one in the

16:39

herd. And they'd be the one that

16:39

was eaten, you know, so but they

16:43

were, you know, more minerally

16:43

balanced and their feet were

16:47

more balanced. When we're giving

16:47

our horses this compressed hay

16:51

and grains and they're not

16:51

foraging and moving, and they're

16:55

standing and stalls breathing

16:55

ammonia and slipping in mud, and

17:00

the smaller an area we keep the

17:00

horse in the worse the soil gets

17:04

from the constant hay and urine

17:04

and pee and stuff. So the

17:08

condition of the soils change.

17:08

So I was lucky that my horses

17:12

had three acres to run on that

17:12

was hills, because it kept my

17:16

endurance horses sound and there

17:16

was three geldings running

17:19

together so they're happy and

17:19

they're jumping and playing. But

17:23

yeah, it's kind of like your

17:23

dog. Okay, what you do now? All

17:26

right, let me fix it. But once

17:26

you learn my program, it's a 30

17:30

second to two minute fix. And

17:30

you have a happy, healthy,

17:34

strong horse instead of trying

17:34

to put them in a bubble wrap and

17:38

lock this $30,000 horse in a

17:38

stall and a corral panel, and

17:42

then all of a sudden, they're

17:42

out because they fell asleep

17:45

next to the corral panel and

17:45

woke up with their legs in the

17:47

corral panel. It's like, yeah, I

17:47

tried to put my horse in bubble

17:51

wrap. It just didn't work.

17:53

They don't want to be in

17:53

bubble wrap. They want to have

17:55

fun. Yeah, well, if you want that

17:56

balanced mind and body, they

17:59

need the interaction, they need

17:59

the head down, they need the

18:02

grazing, they need the movement,

18:02

you know, the pasture paradises

18:06

that a lot of my clients do,

18:06

where it's a track, and there's

18:10

like hay nets everywhere and

18:10

different water stations. And

18:14

when horses would pick on

18:14

certain horses, they had a one

18:17

way bar that was suspended that

18:17

the horse could push through to

18:23

go to the next stage, but it

18:23

wouldn't push this way. So all

18:27

the ponies that were like

18:27

getting, you know, picked on by

18:31

the older horses could go to the

18:31

next stage, you know, and go to

18:36

the next stage. So and that was

18:36

in Indiana, they had such a

18:39

great place the water's over

18:39

there, the hay's over there,

18:42

there's sand over there, there's

18:42

gravel over there. So the horses

18:45

were walking on all these

18:45

different terrains.

18:48

Only all horses can

18:48

be felt lucky.

18:50

Yeah, but everyone's like, well,

18:50

that horse is kicking my horse.

18:53

And once you have a kick and a

18:53

bone, bruise and scar tissue and

18:57

adhesions, it's going to

18:57

permanently change how that

19:00

horse moves for the rest of

19:00

their life getting kicked in the

19:03

shoulder or the sternum. We have

19:03

so many horses that are girthy

19:06

and don't even like when you

19:06

touch their chest here because

19:10

their whole sternum has been

19:10

tweaked. And people say Oh, my

19:14

horse is always like that. But

19:14

it doesn't need to always be

19:18

like that we can make a change.

19:18

And my saying is the worst thing

19:21

you can do is not try. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm hearing

19:24

from you that you know other

19:29

than lifestyle hazards and just

19:29

environmental everyday hazards

19:32

that the horses encounter that

19:32

mineral deficiency is a big

19:36

problem that can lead to you

19:36

know, the first rib misalignment

19:40

and probably like a whole bunch

19:40

of other horse health issues as

19:44

well. So can, do you have any

19:44

suggestions on how to overcome

19:48

mineral deficiencies? So first, you have to learn that

19:50

a lot of the toxins block the

19:54

absorption of minerals, so I

19:54

won't even get into people's

19:57

diet, what they're feeding if

19:57

they don't want to do the detox

20:01

program on their horse first or

20:01

themselves because mercury your

20:05

thymarisol, which is in all your

20:05

vaccines, blocks the absorption

20:09

of magnesium, you know on sulfur

20:09

black selenium. So if you feed a

20:13

lot of MSM to performance

20:13

sources, they're not going to be

20:17

absorbing selenium. If you don't

20:17

have your magnesium, selenium,

20:20

your heart muscle function, your

20:20

elasticity and your muscles for

20:24

your tendons and ligaments and

20:24

everything. You're going to have

20:28

a tight acidic hourse it's going

20:28

to have suspensory and tendon

20:31

tears. So we use the NCD or the

20:31

ACZ Nana that's available on

20:37

Amazon. And it's just a remover

20:37

so we do 10 to 15 drops like

20:43

twice a day for three weeks,

20:43

especially if you are an

20:46

overhead chemical fly sprays or

20:46

have to do all the shots at once

20:50

you want to when the vet comes,

20:50

you want to you know do that the

20:53

week before and during that

20:53

you're doing all these chemical

20:57

stresses. And what taught me this is Tiki

20:58

my endurance horse, I had

21:03

already had him on the dynamite

21:03

supplement for two years. And my

21:09

naturopath Guru said to put him

21:09

on the NCD detox. So he did that

21:14

he'd been on the racetrack, he'd

21:14

been over vaccinated,

21:17

overwormed, I did everything

21:17

holistic at my farm, that just

21:21

pulling out all the past stuff,

21:21

you know, so even brood mares,

21:26

you know, it's like people the

21:26

first child, the first foal is

21:29

going to be the healthiest and

21:29

the third, fourth and fifth is

21:33

going to have more health issues

21:33

and an autoimmune because the

21:36

liver of the brood mare or the

21:36

mom couldn't clean all the

21:39

toxins of the blood for both. So

21:39

depending on you know where your

21:44

foal was born, the first one the

21:44

fourth or the fifth for how many

21:47

toxins they have and what they

21:47

actually came into the world

21:51

with in their system through the

21:51

you know, embryonic fluids and

21:54

stuff. So we do the detox, but on Tiki

21:55

he was 10 years old already been

22:00

on the dynamite for two years,

22:00

just in four to five weeks, my

22:04

farrier said, so what are you

22:04

doing his feet are totally

22:07

different. They're growing

22:07

faster, the hoof wall is twice

22:11

as thick, he doesn't have the

22:11

white line anymore, the sole is

22:14

thicker, I can carve it out

22:14

concavity when I was competing,

22:19

we were shoeing every five weeks

22:19

because you don't want to change

22:22

those angles. You don't want the

22:22

horse to get really high and

22:25

then come down really low. When

22:25

you're a marathon runner, you

22:28

want to have those same angles

22:28

of your running shoe for your

22:31

tendon suspensories. So that's

22:31

what pointed out to me that just

22:37

the detox was now letting him

22:37

assimilate all the Dynamite

22:41

I prefer Dynamite it's a company

22:41

in Idaho they won't sell in

22:41

vitamins. retail stores they won't let you

22:46

know do MLM out of the family .

22:52

You know, all the products are

22:52

really good but bioavailable

22:55

because other products can grind

22:55

up chalk and say that there's

22:59

calcium in it, but it's not

22:59

bioavailable calcium to the

23:02

horse. So if the you know,

23:02

client owner is willing to do

23:07

the detox, which is $35 to $80,

23:07

depending on if they need one or

23:11

two bottles, they will notice

23:11

more out of their nutrition

23:17

program. You shouldn't have to

23:17

do a hoof supplement and a coat

23:20

supplement if the horse is

23:20

actually getting something good.

23:24

When I walk up, man, I have a

23:24

couple of videos on my YouTube

23:27

channel what I see when I see a

23:27

horse and we talked about how

23:30

the skin was but also where this

23:30

the hair coat looks dull or

23:35

dead, you know or sunburnt, you

23:35

know, so if it's a black horse

23:39

or a chestnut horse and they're

23:39

reddish brown and the hairs are

23:43

kind of curling up, I know that

23:43

they're copper deficient and how

23:47

do you get bioavailable copper

23:47

and selenium and magnesium into

23:51

a horse? We feed the dynamite

23:51

liquid trace minerals. It's a

23:55

colloidal mineral source and the

23:55

horses can get it from that. You

23:59

know once they detox and people

23:59

notice all the muscles go soft

24:04

the horse is more athletic.

24:04

After the detox my horse was

24:09

running at a lower heart rate.

24:09

So we run with a heart rate on

24:13

endurance rides and trotting all

24:13

day in the desert, you know at

24:17

like 12 miles an hour and my

24:17

horse should be like, at pulse

24:20

of 144, well, after the NCD

24:20

detox clearing out the plaque

24:25

and everything in the arteries

24:25

and heart walls and lactic acid

24:28

and herbicides and pesticides

24:28

and like chemicals. He was

24:32

running at 106 to 110. So if

24:32

you're going to have a sport or

24:36

performance horse, you really

24:36

want to do the passive liver

24:39

detox so they can assimilate

24:39

nutrition and pull out the

24:42

lactic acid and help the liver

24:42

and kidneys work better. And

24:46

when your liver and kidneys are

24:46

clear they can assimilate

24:49

nutrition. So when I first go up to a

24:50

horse, and I look in their eye

24:55

you know, they're eye will be

24:55

like really dull like I'm not

24:58

really home, and after we've

24:58

done the whole product program

25:02

of the head and the body, the

25:02

eyes go really dark and clear

25:05

like you're looking at a deer's

25:05

eye, like oh, look, I can see

25:08

you in there now. And so the

25:08

whole change in the horse in

25:12

just an hour and a half is

25:12

amazing. But having clients that

25:17

believe in you for the muscle

25:17

testing, you know, your horse

25:20

needs 10 drops twice a day, 21

25:20

days. And then see if you're

25:25

still magnesium and selenium

25:25

deficient. Don't just keep

25:28

adding more scoops and more

25:28

scoops because your body's the

25:32

horse's body can't assimilate

25:32

it, you're just pooping it out.

25:35

Like most people don't know, you

25:35

shouldn't feed all your herbs

25:39

with all your hardcore minerals.

25:39

They feed the horse once a day,

25:43

they want to put 30 different

25:43

things in one bucket. But if you

25:47

use a yes/no muscle testing can

25:47

the horse assimilate it if it's

25:51

all together like that. And you

25:51

get a no, so when I went into

25:56

menopause, and you're taking all

25:56

these different supplements and

26:00

put them in your smoothie, or

26:00

just swallow 25 pills in the

26:03

morning, it wasn't working. You

26:03

need to focus on you know,

26:07

magnesium and selenium and your

26:07

mineral should like be at night.

26:11

So a lot of barn situations, you

26:11

know, can they feed two

26:15

different feedings with two

26:15

different things so that your

26:18

horse can work on assimilating

26:18

this and assimilating that, not

26:23

just put it all in one bucket

26:23

and feed it and hope it works

26:26

like probiotics should be a

26:26

liquid. You know, and the powder

26:30

probiotics aren't going to work

26:30

as good. And if you mix that in

26:33

with apple cider vinegar, and

26:33

SmartPak and feed two garlic and

26:38

everything else, and you wonder

26:38

why nothing's really working on

26:40

your horse. So it's better to split all that

26:43

out. And there are muscle test

26:47

points for B and magnesium and

26:47

that's in my workbook and you

26:52

know, selenium and you know what

26:52

horses that get ulcers, there's

26:56

something about that in my horse

26:56

102 book as well. So it's all

27:00

about remember head teeth,

27:00

chewing, feet, nutrition, and

27:05

detox.
