Visit to UK
This is a quick note to confirm that I will be visiting the UK in February and March. Anna, our PR lady and Equus Health will be organizing talks and shop open days. Once I have a few dates confirmed I'll publish them here, so please keep an eye on this if you are interested.
I look forward to meeting as many people as possible.
Welcome to the Equine Herbalist blog.
A little about us. I am James Hart. Vanessa, my wife and I are both professionally qualified human herbalists with a passion for horses. We have taken our human herbal knowledge and applied it to horses. As herbivores horses have all the right receptors to make good use of the broad spectrum of chemicals locked up in plants...and given the right herbs in sufficient dose they respond really well.
One of the disappointing things about our industry is the lack of disclosure. We have been singing this song for a while and will keep doing so. It is no exaggeration to say that very few companies selling over the counter herbal products for horses actually tell their customers what they are buying. In some instances the companies themselves do not know or refuse to disclose the information. There is no excuse for this.
Herbalists talk about extract strength by looking at the amount of herb extracted into a given volume of liquid. Have a look at http://www.equineherbals.com/manu-standards.html#extractstrength for more information.
