Hair analysis and supplements
We offer a professional hair analysis test for Equines, we can test your horse/ponies hair for imbalances and deficiencies. The results can either be posted out to you in a report folder or emailed for quickness directly to you or delivered in person. Hair analysis will give you a good starting point, how many of you horse owners know perhaps your horse has arthritis, but, would you know exactly what supplement would be best suited to your horse? i.e. vitamin c, many older horses are deficient in vitamin C, but would we know it? How Do you do the test? Price per analysis: 37€ Magnetic TherapyThe use of magnets to relieve pain has been practised for over 2000 years. Now, with the benefits of modern materials and technology magnets can be made very small, unobtrusive and powerful – ideal for animal therapy. Studies have shown that this natural, non-invasive therapy relives pain and helps promote the body’s natural healing process by improving blood flow and therefore oxygen to injured areas. Magnetic therapy is a complementary way to enhance the relief of pain. The magnets themselves do not heal –they create an environment in the body that helps speed up the natural healing provess by removing inflammation and restoring circulation. It is believed this is achieved when the blood stream and nerves are stimulated as the blood plasses through the magnetic field. Here is an article from Horse and Hound magazine in 2007. "Expert advice from HORSE magazine on how magnotherapy works and when to use it Q. I am looking for information on treating horses with magnets. Could you tell me how they work and what type of conditions they can be applied to?

A. Magnets have been used in medicine for thousands of years. Nowadays they can trat non-union fractures, contusions, degenerative bone conditions, delayed wound healing, acute and chronic injury to bone and soft tissue, such as bowed tendons, stretched ligaments and diseases of the back and lumbar regions, as well as helping stiff horses.
There are two major types – the bipolar magnet and pulsating electromagnetic field (PEMF) systems.
When blood flows past the beads, icons (charged atoms) are buffeted towards and away from them due to the positive or negative magnetic field. This forces the blood vessels in that area to dilate, allowing better blood flow to the damaged area and speeding up healing.
By turning the current on and off rapidly, the same buffeting effect on the tissues below can be achieved as the beads. The stronger the current, the deeper the penetration. PEMF systems tend to be stronger and have greater tissue penetration than the bipolar magnets.
