Homeopathy

Among all our domestic species, it is possibly true that horses and ponies respond to energy medicine (e.g. homeopathic treatment) in a more dynamic and dramatic way. They are extremely sensitive, and reactive to such care and it is a real privilege to work with them.

The process involved in selecting a homeopathic medicine involves an exhaustive enquiry into the lifestyle and environment of the horse or pony (the holistic approach) and sometimes lengthy discussion on the personality, history and general health of the patient, quite apart from the specific complaint that is to be treated.

A sample of the horse diseases and conditions that we can treat with horse homeopathy are:
