Have a horse that keeps going lame, bolts under saddle, struggles with recurring tendon or suspensory problems, or grows long toes and low heels no matter what you do? 

In this episode of Holistic Horseworks Live, I show you why I evaluate the whole horse instead of focusing only on the area where the latest problem appears. A sore foot, strained tendon, difficult canter lead, or sudden change under saddle may be part of a larger compensation pattern involving other areas of the body. 

🐴 IN THIS EPISODE 

We talk about recurring lameness, bolting under saddle, suspensory and tendon strains, long toes and low heels, contracted heels, frog and white line problems, navicular-like symptoms, kissing spine, and difficulty picking up a canter lead. 

I explain what I look for through the first rib, shoulders, pelvis, psoas, TMJ, cranial structures, and hooves, and how old pullback trauma and compensation patterns may continue affecting movement and performance long after the original incident. 

You'll also learn why I pay attention to how your horse grows their feet between trims, what shortened strides and uneven hoof loading may tell us, and why repeatedly treating the sore area may not address what is contributing to the problem. 

My goal with these live sessions is to teach you how to look at your horse from head to hoof, recognize patterns earlier, and understand what their movement, behavior, and feet may be telling you.

Why does your dog keep itching even after changing the food? Why are allergies getting worse, their joints becoming stiffer, or their eyesight changing as they age?

In this special Holistic Horseworks Wellness Show, April Love turns her whole-body approach to dogs and cats, sharing live intuitive scans while explaining some of the health problems pet owners commonly struggle to understand. Through the stories of Susu, Steve, and Mazzy, April looks beyond individual symptoms to explore what else may be affecting the body. 

🐶 IN THIS EPISODE

April discusses itchy skin and environmental allergies, digestive problems and gas, vision loss and eye problems, dental infections, sinus issues, viral and bacterial concerns, lipomas, stiff and arthritic joints, hip dysplasia, ACL injuries, and paws that begin turning outward.

She also explains why she pays close attention to a dog’s water, gut health, environment, toenail length, atlas and axis alignment, hips, teeth, and paws when trying to understand recurring health problems. You’ll hear practical demonstrations of gentle nail care, muscle testing, acupressure points, and the bodywork principles April uses with dogs. 

For cat owners, April also discusses some of the problems she commonly sees as cats age, including kidney and urinary concerns, water quality, diet, and toxin exposure. 

If your dog or cat has recurring symptoms that never seem fully resolved, this episode offers a different way to look at what may be contributing to the problem and questions you can explore alongside appropriate veterinary care.

Carolina has spent the last six years helping Tamarindo, an older gelding who came into her life with signs of years of neglected care. His teeth had apparently gone untreated, he was underweight, and his tongue and mouth showed extensive scar tissue. Today, he looks much healthier, but Carolina is still trying to understand why he trips, struggles to turn right, becomes defensive when being girthed, and remains stiff through his neck. 

🍏 IN THIS EPISODE

April Love evaluates Tamarindo from head to hoof and connects his movement problems to a larger pattern of imbalance. Her assessment identifies first-rib misalignment, a right hip positioned farther back, psoas compensation, uneven hoof loading, and cranial imbalance. She explains how these issues may make it harder for Tamarindo to lift his shoulders and hind legs effectively, contributing to the tripping and difficulty turning that Carolina has noticed.

April also takes a closer look at Tamarindo’s feet after recently transitioning to barefoot. She points out crushed and uneven heels, deep grooves and what she identifies as white-line separation, and explains why addressing hoof comfort alongside the body is an important part of her approach.

The conversation also explores Tamarindo’s history of severe uveitis, his stiffness, previous colic, sensitivity around the girth, and the arthritis Carolina has noticed as he has gotten older.

For Carolina, this is about more than keeping an older horse comfortable. Tamarindo has inspired her to think differently about the younger horses around her, including the wild horses living on the Baja ranch where she hopes to help develop an equestrian center. By learning to recognize imbalances earlier, she hopes to give those horses a healthier start before they ever enter training.

Have a horse that improves after treatment, only for the bucking, soreness, or resistance to come back?

In this episode of Holistic Horseworks Live, Linda shares the story of Ritz, a 15-year-old gelding who had been progressing well in dressage before he suddenly began bucking. A veterinary evaluation revealed end-stage arthritis in his right hock from an old injury, and treatment helped for a while, but the problems kept returning. Ritz became defensive about being mounted, developed sore feet and thin soles, and continued showing Linda that something still did not feel right.

🍏 IN THIS EPISODE

April Love evaluates Ritz from head to hoof and explains how several problems may be working together rather than existing separately. She points out first-rib misalignment, overdeveloped shoulder muscles, hip and psoas compensation, uneven hoof loading, contracted heels, thin soles, cranial compression, and TMJ imbalance, while showing how discomfort in one area can change the way a horse stands, moves, carries a rider, and loads his feet.

April also discusses why recurring bucking or mounting resistance can be worth investigating as a possible sign of discomfort, what hoof shape can reveal about problems higher in the body, how cranial and poll trauma can affect movement and chewing, and why addressing the whole horse may help when individual treatments only provide temporary improvement.

If your horse keeps bucking, resists being saddled or mounted, struggles with recurring lameness, has sore or uneven feet, or seems to develop one problem after another, Ritz’s story offers a closer look at what your horse may be trying to tell you.

 Why will one horse won't stop running and another won't move?

What if the horse that never stops moving and the horse that doesn't want to move are both telling you the same thing?

In this episode of Holistic Horseworks Live, April Love evaluates two young horses from the same farm: Gem, an Arabian yearling filly who seems to run herself into a sweat every time she's turned out, and Honor, a horse who appears heavy through the shoulders, downhill in posture, and sometimes mistaken for lazy.

Through live evaluations, April discusses cranial compression, hoof balance, high-low syndrome, posture, pullback injuries, and how structural stress patterns can affect movement, behavior, and overall health.

This episode also includes live Q&A with horse owners on topics including tendon injuries, navicular issues, TMJ dysfunction, wood chewing, cranial asymmetry, Cushing's disease, and how bodywork can help horses of all ages.

In this episode:

• Why behavior and conformation may not tell the whole story
• What April found during Gem and Honor's evaluations
• High-low syndrome and its effect on the entire body
• Cranial compression and pullback injuries
• Hoof balance, posture, and movement patterns
• Questions from horse owners around the world

Welcome to Holistic Horseworks Live, where founder April Love helps horse owners uncover the hidden causes behind behavioral problems, physical compensation patterns, and unresolved pain through holistic bodywork and intuitive horse care.

🍎 IN THIS EPISODE

April works live with Tia and her horse, Stetson, to discuss the remarkable transformation that took place after applying Holistic Horseworks techniques, distance reading recommendations, and the Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding home study program.

Together, they break down Stetson’s original symptoms, compensation patterns, and behavioral concerns while exploring how cranial decompression, nervous system support, bodywork, and foundational care can create major changes in movement, comfort, and overall wellbeing.

This episode gives horse owners a closer look at how physical pain often presents as behavioral resistance, why compensation patterns matter, and what can happen when you begin addressing the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

Join us for Holistic Horseworks Live, where founder April Love shares holistic horse care insights, bodywork education, and real stories of horses overcoming physical and emotional challenges through craniosacral work, nutritional balancing, and Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding.

🍎 IN THIS EPISODE

April reconnects with her longtime heart horse, Tiki, alongside special guest Chris. Once an Arabian racehorse, Tiki went on to complete thousands of endurance miles while staying sound through holistic support, bodywork, cranial balancing, barefoot recovery periods, and targeted nutritional care.

April explains how pullback trauma, cranial compression, TMJ restrictions, and emotional stress patterns affect horses long term, even decades later. Chris shares what it’s like caring for a 30-year-old horse with one eye, while April reflects on Tiki’s endurance career, rehabilitation journey, and the deep bond that shaped her work with horses today.

This episode is a powerful conversation about horse longevity, nervous system regulation, emotional connection, and why listening to the horse matters just as much as treating the body.

🍎  IN THIS EPISODE

Ralph is a 9-year-old quarter horse ranch pleasure gelding who came to Joni with a history of yearly hock injections, intermittent front end lameness, and a personality that had recently shifted — grouchy, bitey, spooky, and dunking his hay in his water bucket. April's distance reading flagged viral and bacterial issues and asked if Ralph had ever been tested for EPM. Joni took him to an EPM specialist who confirmed the diagnosis. 

April also identified first rib misalignment driving the hocks too close together, cranial compression affecting his TMJ and dental patterns, and explains why his hooks and waves keep coming back on the same side every six months. 

Joni is enrolled in Level 1: Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding, shares what the distance reading experience was like, and what it means to finally have answers that actually connect the dots.

"What would you do if your horse was limping, colicking, or spooking—and no one could tell you why?”

That question lit a fire in April Love that would grow into a global mission: helping horse owners uncover the root causes of mystery lameness, behavioral issues, and chronic pain that traditional methods often miss.

Recently, April joined Kimberley on The Backyard Horse Enthusiast podcast to share her journey, from early passion and endurance riding to developing the revolutionary bodywork system that is now Holistic Horseworks.

What makes April’s approach unique is that she teaches horse owners how to become their horse’s best healer. Through hands-on clinics, online home study courses, and a growing archive of over 200 YouTube videos and bite-sized podcasts, April shares techniques that work—because they’re based on real results over decades of experience.

From resolving Uveitis without surgery, to transforming behavioral “problem horses” into calm companions, April’s stories are more than anecdotes—they’re evidence of what’s possible when we support the body’s ability to heal itself.

And the best part? You don’t need to be a vet, trainer, or therapist. You just need the right tools, a little guidance—and a deep love for your horse.

Thanks to the host Kimberly from The Backyard Horse Enthusiast!

In this episode, April Love, in response to a fan question, explains how her horse yoga program can help improve a horse's gait, making both the trot and canter smoother.

The yoga exercises serve as diagnostic tools to address issues such as neck stiffness, shoulder restrictions, and spinal problems, which can lead to choppy trots and uneven canters. She highlights five key stretches, each targeting different parts of the horse’s body, to release tension and improve flexibility.

April emphasizes that while the yoga can help, more severe issues such as first rib misalignment often require deeper work through her Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding program. She offers detailed online courses and diagnostics to help horse owners maintain their horses' well-being and prevent costly vet bills.

Most male horses are gelded at a young age.

In this episode, April talks about the gelding process and how to ease the transition from colt to gelding.

Castration can be traumatic but with the use of Liquid Trace Minerals and NOT fresh cold water hosing, the incision site will heal quickly with less scarring.

In this episode, April discusses the importance of horse owners preparing for natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The key points include:

Learn how to put identification on your horse so if they get loose, the person who finds them can contact you.

Use duct tape and a black Sharpie pen to write your phone number on the horse's hooves. Additionally, consider using dog tags on the horse's halter or blanket.

Always keep essential supplies on hand, such as Dynamite Liquid Trace minerals for wound care, tea tree oil, and Epsom salts.  Prepare a medicine chest with items recommended in horse care books for emergencies like colic, wounds, and smoke inhalation.

It's better to be prepared and not need it than to scramble during an emergency.

In this episode of Holistic Horseworks Talks, April retells a story about an incident in one of her clinics.

Despite being told repeatedly to NOT tie the horse to the corral panels, one student did just that. When the horse spooked, the corral panel hit another student in the head and caused a small but bloody gash.

While her students were wondering what to do, April stepped in to treat the wounded student. April was prepared to stop the bleeding and there were two lessons learned that day - how not to tie a horse and how to treat a fresh wound.

In this episode, April, addresses a question about a horse that refuses to pick up one of its feet.

April suggests that the issue is not a training problem but rather a discomfort or pain-related concern. She advises looking at the horse's other feet and checking for signs of laminitis, soreness, or injuries.

If the horse is avoiding putting weight on one foot, the focus should be on understanding why it's uncomfortable shifting its weight rather than forcing the foot to be lifted.

For front hooves, April recommends positioning the horse uphill to shift more weight to the hind end or providing a soft surface for the other foot to stand on, encouraging the horse to lift the desired foot. She shares a beneficial hoof-soaking recipe for various foot issues.

Regarding hind hooves, April suggests considering potential soreness in the SI joint, which can affect the horse's willingness to lift a hind leg. She demonstrates a technique for picking up the hind leg that reduces stress on the SI joint.

Does your black horse fade to brown in the summer?

In this episode, April discusses how the color change is likely due to a copper deficiency in the horse's diet. She suggests feeding the horse Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals once a week to provide the necessary copper and prevent the fading of its black coat.

April also mentions that chestnut horses with burnt-out-looking hair and curled ends may have a copper deficiency as well.

April believes that mineral deficiency can make horses more prone to parasites, so she advises using organic diatomaceous earth and doing fecal counts every two to three months.

In this episode, April discusses ways to handle moodiness in mares during the summer when they are cycling. The main concern is that the moody behavior may affect interactions with other horses, and impact performance at horse shows or events.

April suggests starting by addressing any physical discomfort the mare might be experiencing. Similar to humans, horses can become irritable when in pain. She recommends trying her horse yoga program, which consists of five basic stretches to make the mare more comfortable in her body.

By understanding the mare's specific needs, balancing her hormonal system, and addressing any physical discomfort, it becomes possible to improve her behavior and overall well-being. April advises doing horse yoga, trying supplements if necessary, and consulting with a veterinarian to determine the best course of action for the individual mare.

In this episode, April explains muscle testing, which is a technique used to determine the suitability and effectiveness of supplements and products for horses. 

April explains that muscle testing involves "yes" or "no" answers. She teaches muscle testing in her applied kinesiology class. She emphasizes the importance of assessing the vitality and quality of products before feeding them to horses. By placing a hand on the product packaging, one can ask if its vitality is greater than 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. 

April also suggests asking if the product is good for the horse and if the horse can assimilate it effectively. She shares her experience using NCD (Natural Cellular Defense) to passively clear the horse's liver and kidneys of toxins, which can affect their overall health. 

She notes that being emotionally upset can affect the accuracy of muscle testing. 

Overall, muscle testing can help horse owners save money by ensuring they provide the right products that their horses can effectively assimilate.

To use a bit or not, has often been discussed by horsemen.

Many people go to a bigger, harsher bit when their horse doesn't respond. It could be that the horse's head is not in alignment. The skull is not one big bone, it's many bones fused together. If a horse pulls back those bones can shift.

This affects the teeth and how the bit feels in the horse's mouth.

Learn how to correct the teeth, the temporal mandibular joint, and other cranial issues and you might be able to go bitless.

Should you be giving your horse electrolytes this summer?

In this episode, April discusses whether horses should be given electrolytes during the summer. It depends on what the horse is doing.

Powdered electrolytes can burn a horse's esophagus and cause them to lose their appetite. Instead, April recommends using Dyna Spark, which is a liquid electrolyte that is more bioavailable and gentle on the system.

It also has ismene silica, which helps detoxify the liver and kidneys and pull out lactic acid.

April recommends giving electrolytes in small amounts, more often, as horses will only take what they need. The speaker also suggests using Dyna Spark to encourage horses to drink water when traveling or when the water source has an unpleasant smell.

April shares a story about a client's horse with a mysterious colic and how they dealt with it.

She emphasizes the importance of having Banamine, Epsom salt, and DoTerra DigestZen oil on hand. She recommends keeping a copy of her book, Horse 102, in the barn for quick reference in emergencies.

She explains that colic is often caused by impaction due to a blockage in the intestine, which can be alleviated by giving warm salt water and rubbing DigestZen oil on the belly.

April demonstrates how to perform various bodywork techniques to help alleviate colic.

My passion is helping horses and horse lovers like you! There is nothing that lights me up more than watching someone have that "ah-ha" moment when it finally clicks, and they realize how powerful and instrumental they are to their own horse's wellbeing.

This week on Holistic Horsework's Talks, I share my story behind that passion, stemming from decades of experience in horseback riding, competing, training, and health care. And even further back to being a little girl playing with horses on my Grandparent's farm.

My history with horses has been filled with so much joy, but there have been plenty of challenges, too. Being disqualified from riding and competing because my horse was lame. Wondering what was going on and never getting any actual answers from the vet. Spending $17,000+ dollars on classes, courses, and clinics to feel like something was still missing.

But you don't have to struggle like I did. Years upon years of riding, practice, study, and my own hard-won experience are now available to you through hands-on, in-person clinics and virtual home study courses at Holistic Horseworks.

Scars can be more than just ugly! In the wrong place, scars can impede your horse’s performance.

Ideally, the best thing is to avoid scarring in the first place by taking care of fresh wounds. Since horses’ bodies are saline, you don’t want to use plain cold water to clean them out.

Using a solution of Tea Tree Oil and Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals will prevent infection and swelling and start the healing process from the inside out.

For old, hard scars, Dynamite Balm, which comes from a pre-historic mineral mine, will soften them and free up movement especially if the scar is near a joint.

In this episode of Holistic Horseworks talks, learn more about wound care and scar treatment!

In this episode, April discusses show jumping and eventing horses.

Jumping is very hard on a horse's body. 

Healthy hooves provide a good foundation for overall horse health. 

Next, jumpers need to be able to do horse yoga. If not, there are issues that need to be addressed. It starts in the front end. If the shoulders can't move freely, the horse can't pick up the front legs to get over the jump. That throws stress onto the hind end to compensate. 

The hips then become misaligned and the horse doesn't have the power to push off the ground, nor pick his hind feet up, and then knocks a rail down.

Taking care of the horse's joints are key to keeping them jumping.

Springtime is a good time to give your horse a nice tuneup. 

 Start by looking at the horse's mouth. Get an equine dentist to work on the teeth. When the teeth don't line up correctly, the bit is going to be very uncomfortable for the horse.

The next thing, is what to do about all that hair!

Then, take a look at the feet. They've been soaking in mud for a while.  The horse has to run on these hooves.

Soaking the feet in my special solution will kill the fungus, and improve overall hoof health. 

My yoga program will show you where the horse has glitches. Then follow my bodywork program to clear up those glitches.

An owner that was desperate to help her horse, hosted a clinic with April Love to help her mare that had become unrideable.

The mare's whole right hind leg, her hoof, her stifle, was pointed out and she couldn't back up.  The owner was frantically trying to figure out something to help her horse get better. 

First April worked on the horse. The bones in the mare's hip were out of alignment. The inside of her heel was crushed from bearing excess weight. 

April brought that hip forward and changed the angle of that bone and all of a sudden, the horse was standing square with both hind feet pointed forward for the first time in 10 years!

When racehorses come off the track, they will need a little help transitioning to life as pleasure horses.

Off the track Thoroughbreds tend to be high-headed and hollow backed and often stronger on one side than the other. 

Bodywork may help them release the diaphragm so they can lift their back and tuck their head as expected for disciplines like Dressage.

Since most people are right-handed, polo plays carry the mallet in their right hand. 

Because the mallet is in the right hand, the rider is often leaning to the right. That leads to one side of the horse being affected by the rider's weight, more than the other.

To help polo horses stay on the top of the game, yoga and bodywork can be done before and after a match.

A woman brought her horse to a Holistic Horse Works clinic to help her with contracted tendons.

The horse's muscles were so tight, they felt as hard as a rock. Veterinarians suggested surgery but the owner wanted alternatives.

After completing all three levels the horse was looser, softer, and more comfortable than she had ever been. 

The owner also learned how to keep her that way using the techniques she learned in the clinic.

A horse’s hooves are not as hard as you might think.

When a horse has pain in their body, it will shift its weight to find some relief. After a while, the hooves bearing the extra weight will start to change shape. 

If you examine your horse’s hoof from behind, does one side seem higher than the other? If you compare all four feet, are they different shapes? Does the farrier have to make a different size or shaped shoe for each foot?

The farrier can try to reshape the hooves, but when the problem is higher up in the legs or body, any changes will be temporary. 

After doing the bodywork and yoga the horse will start to stand more squarely and its hooves will return to a more normal shape.

A young horse puts his head down and when the rider tries to pull his head up the saddle slips forward and further agitates the horse.

It is not a behavioral or training issue, the horse is trying to say his back hurts. Putting a straight saddle on a crooked horse is going to be uncomfortable. 

This episode covers what to do to help this horse.

Does your horse have a really choppy stride. What is this caused by and what can you do to fix it?

The choppy trot in the front end is because everything is just so tight and jammed up. 

Leg circles can loosen everything up and make your horse lighter and springier in the front legs.

By the time your mare nears the end of her pregnancy, she will no doubt be feeling uncomfortable. 

You can do Holistic Horseworks horse yoga. It's very gentle. Stay away from the rib lifts, but you can still do the carrot stretches. You can still do the front leg circles, you can do the tail pulls and the buttocks to help free up their pelvis, to be able to be open and free to push out the foal.

Do a little bodywork session as soon as they do foal, and it's safe to be around the mare and foal.

I have been finding that a lot of our foals are mineral deficient, and that's the weak fetlocks. 

I also gave a little bit of syringe of the Dynamite Dyna Pro to the foal, which really helped, you know, past that first poop, get their gut going. All the changes happening and my foals wouldn't get the scours where all that stuff on their hind end is making like their hair fall out and everything. I would just get a tiny little syringe without the needle and drop a little bit of the Dyna Pro every day and just give them a little bit like in the first four or five days. 

I also give some to the broodmares as well. You know, they're going through a lot of changes.

I've seen foals at two months old that are already out of alignment because they fall asleep next to corral panels and wake up under them. Or in halter training, they're pulling back or they ran and they fell and tumbled down a hill.

 So, it's springtime. The horses are all shedding like crazy. What can you do to make sure your horse's coat is as healthy as possible? Also, that you are not taking it all home with you? Well, the first thing is to get all that awful hair off! I always had Arabians and had white hair everywhere, …….absolutely everywhere!

My horses loved to be vacuumed, but I never had the money for any of those fancy horse vacuums. So I just got an affordable shop vac and got an extra-long hose, which I duct-taped together with the regular hose to make an even longer hose. As my high-spirited Arabians did not want that thing next to them. Once they were used to the noise, they soon loved being vacuumed. Even my dog would be waiting too to be vacuumed, and boy did that cut down on the dog hair in the house!. It really pulls the oil and dandruff out of the skin which is going to improve their coat.

You'll have less on you, less on your horse blankets, less in your car!

Second, if you start to see mane and tail rubbing, or other body parts which could mean lice or threadworms you could use Doterra melaleuca or Tea Tree oil and lavender. Use 10 drops of each in a 16-ounce water bottle. Just spray it on the itchy areas and rub it in.

The next helpful skin product is the Desitin or Zinc cream for diaper rash in the jar tub (you do not want the tube it doesn't stay on). Horses love that on their irritated skin. It's very soothing and very safe for bare spots like on their bellies, sores from fly bites, top of tail rubbing, and girth areas. Great for areas that get sunburned. .

Third, pay attention to any area where the small flies are concentrated. That's a “dead zone” energetically. I'll spray release on that area daily and see if that changes or if something more needs to be done.

So, I've noticed, you know, with everything going on in the planet, I mean, here on Maui, it's $400 for a horse shoeing every six to eight weeks. You're just like, oh my goodness, who can afford this? 

I don't know what it is back in the states, but I know steel is going to be going up. fuel going up again. You know, we're over $5.50 a gallon here if you don't have Costco. And so, it's, you know, how can we better take care of our horse’s hoof at home to make our dollar go farther? 

And a lot of people say, well, I'd love to go barefoot, but my horse is always ouchy and sore and just doesn't work.

When I was in France teaching and they had a cadaver hoof they had cut into,  the redness went higher and higher around the coffin bone.  When you actually cut into the hoof and see what's happening, you can see why the navicular groove, the navicular bone might be offset or uncomfortable.

So, I really like to start with the basics. The hoof soak recipe that I made up is just amazing. It's the Dynamite liquid trace minerals Epsom salt and warm water.

The soak recipe totally pulls out bruising, abscesses, anything that needs to come out and gravel, a hot nail, etc. If there are any cracks in your horse’s hooves, you have fungal and bacteria going in there as well.

I also have a miracle spray recipe that's made with DoTerra Essential Oils, and that recipe is on my Web site. You can get it. You can make up your own and we spray it on the frog, the white line, the sole we apply it to the coronary band and it's like daily acupressure treatment for horses.

If you combine the hoof soak and the miracle spray recipe, I guarantee you in two months you're going to see amazing hooves. You're going to be like, "Wow, this is actually saving me money." So, the spray recipes on my website, on my shop page, you can see YouTube videos of how to do the hoof soaks, how to do bomb sweats, how to use the miracle spray on my channel Holistic Horseworks.

As summer approaches many horsemen will supplement their horses with electrolytes.

Are added electrolytes necessary?  Is it good to give electrolytes? Or is it a waste of money? What should a horse owner do?

The worst thing I've seen, and I didn't know when I first got horses was that salt lick that we put out in the field so if they needed it, they were supposed to get it. Look at a horse’s tongue, it's very soft. 

The salt licks were just really meant for cows’ tongues that are really rough and it's not organic iodine.  A better way if you want to see what they need salt-wise is the Himalayan salt lick that hangs on a little rope in the stall.

I always preferred the Dynamite Dynaspark. I can squirt some in their mouth. I could put it in their water, I could put it on their hay when we were hauling, 

I've worked on horses and when I'm rubbing around their tail,  I'll notice they have diarrhea and the people are like, "Yeah, we've been working on that diarrhea with the vet,"  I ask, “So are you giving them powdered electrolytes? They are like,” Yeah. How did you know?

You're giving them too much. It's going to give them diarrhea, it's going to make everything shoot out.

I just give my horses a little syringe of Dynaspark and they would try and eat the syringe. All the other horses at the water trough would be sniffing it and trying to eat my syringe. And the other endurance riders would say, What do you have in there? My horse wants it.

I said, "Electrolytes." They go, "They hate electrolytes!"

It's because you're giving them a powder and it burns their esophagus and it's too much of a concentrate and their whole mouth is just like bleh!

Instead, the owner found April's Holistic Horse Works program. After taking the home study course and applying the first rib adjustment, the mare was sound and happy.

A  listener is dealing with some young horses that are nipping and even head-butting the other horses. And he wants to know why that's happening and what can you do about it.

I worked on a horse that you could see the muscle development on his face was out of balance. One side mandible cheek muscle was bigger than the other and his forehead was developing bigger on one side as well. He just didn't want you to touch his face. 

He was only about 14 months old. , 

I told the owners to have the vet check his teeth. And the next time I was there, they said oh the vet refused saying that he's too young. They don't start looking at teeth until age two or three. 

Well, they finally got someone to look, and the teeth were just horrendous and he had huge sharp hooks in waves and he was chewing his own cheek when he was trying to eat and he was just head-butting all the other horses just asking for help. 

But the problem is with all these knotted rope halters that have no give you put that on a two or three month old foal, even then just rearing up and fighting with the handler because they feel trapped when those bones are so soft as some much damage. So I really ask people to not handle young horses without some kind of give or stretch in a rope. 

With these knotted-rope halters, doing so much damage to the horse's head, because there's no give, we need to start looking at the teeth sooner on before they start, you know, nipping biting chewing on things, because that's usually just saying my mouth is bothering me and I need something done are fixed in here or something, but they don't know how to ask for it. 

You can look at that on my Horse 101 free e-book, at HorseAcademy101.com. I get into that a little bit. And Holistic Alternatives Horse 102 is also on Amazon, and www.holistichorseworks.com is my website call or e-mail if you have any questions.
