ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FOR HORSES - EQUINE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - ARTICLE - AVMC Alternativevet

How sad, then, that they should so often be treated as working tools and as dispensable commodities. Happily, in contrast to this, most of those with horses who consult our clinic are those who care deeply for their equine companions and who work to fulfil all the obligations and responsibilities that ‘ownership’ brings. The result is not only that a great many horses are brought to our place (or I visit them) with so-called ‘incurable’ or ‘intractable’ illnesses, which an holistic approach and alternative medicine appear to be able to help significantly or even cure, but also that I meet a large number of very caring and perceptive people. These are people who are able to see things from their horse companion’s point of view and come from all equine fields of endeavour with their charges, including racing, dressage, eventing, trotting, driving, hacking, hunting and even ‘pet’ horses.
