Holistic Vet Finder

As a huge proponent and user of Complementary human and Veterinary medicine, I thought it would be helpful to share a Website that helps you find Holistic vets in your region. I get asked about how to locate these vets all the time and this site sorts them by area and specialties. Chiropractic and Acupuncture are two of the my most go to modalities. Homeopathy offers a lot of alternative cures to common ailments that steroids and NSAIDS are used for as well as injuries and trauma. There are also vets that practice herbs, aromatherapy and more. So check out this link to find an AHVMA vet in your area!

Liberty Clipping part 5

Here is part 5 in the Liberty Clipping series with my horse Mercury. This horse used to rear and strike at the clippers. I have done extensive work with Carolyn Resnick's Waterhole Rituals and Liberty work. I am also using food association and reward to positively reinforce the experience. It is allowing us to gradually over come the fear and dislike of the clippers without restraint or force. I have been working with him here and there over the course of about 6 months. We have made great progress!
