Oxalates are compounds that bind to calcium and other essential minerals, locking them up in forms that horses cannot absorb. Because calcium is critical for so many vital body functions—bone strength, muscle contraction, nerve signalling, cardiovascular function - this binding process can quickly lead to deficiency. When dietary calcium is not available, the horse’s body pulls calcium from its own skeleton, leading to weakness, pain, and in severe cases, the bone disease known as Bighead.
Whilst we can’t protect our horses from unforeseen reasons for colic, or eliminate the need for a vet, we can do our best to keep our horse’s digestive systems and nervous systems healthy with a whole food, natural diet, and good management practices, to aid in minimising the risk of possible colic.

Horses can easily live up to the age of 30 thanks to the mutual effort of owners, veterinarians and equine herbalists. While the worldwide senior population is growing, keeping the right weight of your elder steeds is crucial to racking up the years and can sometimes be a complex process.

Paterson's Curse is an annual (occasionally biennial) plant that grows in autumn and winter and produces flowering stalks in spring and early summer. What we need to understand is the horse's natural behaviours and instincts; our feeding and farm management practices; and our pasture as a natural system all together, and then make simple accommodations to ensure that we don't force our horses into a situation where they poison themselves.
Big Kev (as he is now fondly known) was grinding his teeth sticking his tongue out a lot and head flicking. I’m very happy to see within weeks a huge improvement. He is no longer grinding at all and barely has his tongue out or head flicking. He is also calm and glowing with health.
