Don’t Catch Your Horse!
By Anna Twinney
I am very fortunate. When I look back over my life, for the most part, I have always wanted to get out of bed, welcome the day, and witness what life has in store for me. It’s the thought of those every day wonders about to happen right in front of my eyes that keep me excited; seeing the miracles nature has to offer, meeting the people and experiencing the multitude of cultures all around the globe.
Whenever you are asking your horse to perform, whether she is a high-powered competitor or companion on trail, she should do so in a balanced frame. From the simplest task to complex maneuvers, balanced movement allows your horse to perform at her best. Her gaits will be more fluid, her transitions smoother, and she will respond more lightly to your cues. When a horse that is carriers herself properly she will also be more supple and be in a more relaxed state-of-mind. A balanced mover puts less stress and strain on her muscles and joints, and will be more comfortable overall.
Often though, nutrition is overlooked and drugs and chemicals are quickly employed. Thomas Edison is quoted as saying…”that the doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the diet both in CAUSE and PREVENTION of disease” (emphasis mine). In
other words what we eat and what our horses eat is both the cause and prevention of disease. Too many chemicals, too many vaccinations, too
many, too few minerals and vitamins, not enough salt, not enough protein, not enough fat, the list of these goes on and on. For instance, vaccinations are often filled with preservatives
like mercury and foreign protein. Minerals today are essentially the waste products of other industries. Even typical salt is chemically made
for other industries, not horses. The horse’s body has to handle all of the extra “junk” in some way or another.

Natural Horse Care
I think Catherine Bird says it best in her book:"A Healthy Horse the Natural Way." Traditional veterinary medicine and natural therapies are not mutually exclusive; both disciplines have boundless areas in which they can and do enhance each other. The use of Natural therapies is complementary and not meant to replace veterinary medicine."
My Vision for NHN:
To reach all horse people through our common bond: Our love of horses. To unite people through education, understanding, and compassion. But most of all to help those who cannot speak our language, the horses. To touch people's lives and influence their behavior in order to bring about more peaceful and rewarding relationships with horses and their humans. I feel an obligation and responsibility to make a difference. And I hope to inspire others to do the same.
