One of the benefits of Equine Body Balance is how the work builds resiliency, in both equine and human. What does that mean exactly?

It means that we are better prepared to stave off illness, or the effects of injury, because our body recognizes its self healing capability. Building that self-healing “reflex” is what gives us resiliency.

Did you know? Our equines and other animals are susceptible to many of the same maladies as we are. We may see higher incidences of such disease as Cushings in horses, but also, most recent research shows that horses may be suffering from leaky gut syndrome which is an increasing occurrence with humans.

Because Equine Body Balance is a holistic approach founded on Ortho-Bionomy for humans, and promotes self healing, it makes sense that the same principles apply to the equine.  In fact, homeopathy is one of the founding references of Ortho-Bionomy, upon which Equine Body Balance is based. The principles of “less is more,” “the law of the similar” of homeopathy all apply to Ortho-Bionomy as well.

In Part II of Tenets of Equine Health, we will explore  some other areas of equine care that are highly important:

• Helpful information and holistic management and support for conditions such as Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), laminitis, Cushings, colic.
• A look at the similarity of equine conditions to those of humans
• Toxicity from plants, water and chemicals

This course is not a replacement for veterinary care, but a complement to it. Diagnoses are the province of veterinarians.

All the knowledge we acquire for our horses holistically can be used alongside veterinary science to help us form a better picture of health for the horse.

Understanding what horse health looks like gives owners and equine professionals a better sense of the whole horse, to recognize what might be going on – and what to be concerned about.

You may not know more than the professional you call, but you can know your horse – or the one you’re working with – and be on the alert for issues and have some “preventative” understanding to point the process in the right direction.

In this class we will learn some techniques and skills to use to support horses in the meantime, pre- and post-veterinary intervention.

This class may be valuable for Owners –

• Those who board their horses or have them at home
• Have just bought a horse for the first time
• Want additional knowledge and may be confused about the differing opinions offered.
• Don’t have a horse but are interested

Equine Professionals:

• Bodyworkers, animal communicators or other interested parties
• Want to increase their understanding of influencers of horse health
• A program requirement for the Equine Body Balance Practitioner Program

Class is three hours Zoom time plus one-hour home study work – includes homegrown videos, photos and outline with pertinent article links.

July 18th, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Mountain Time. Zoom will make adjustments for other time zones.
