Chrissie
Mann has more than 20 years experience as a Naturopath in the
Alternative Health Care field. Her special modalities are Nutrition,
Homeopathics and Herbals, known as Phytotherapy, the use of colors
and laser for healing and remedial body work, massage and exercise.
As well
as treating humans, in the U.K. the U.S. and India, she has always
helped animals, from birds to cats and dogs, even gold fish but
mostly horses.
Her
selection of First Aid Remedies benefits all animals, but have been
selected for horses due to the specific problems they face every day.
Horses
have been a life long passion for Chrissie and the current Remedies
are the result of 5 years of applying (testing) these remedies in the
barn which Falcon, her horse, shares with others.
To give
these remedies, she uses a dropper to insert 4- 10 drops of the water
based remedy in the side of the horses mouth which have no teeth.
(This area where the bit lies is know as the horse's bars.) Or inside
the lower lip. Or alternatively, by the addition of 4-10 drops of
remedy to the drinking water trough or bucket, (especially easy for
pastured horses). Horses find the remedies tasteless and easy to
take....Well, almost. Have you ever seen a large horse trying to
escape from a plastic dropper?
These
natural remedies produce subtle but very noticeable results,
increasing the healing time in almost all cases of injury. The power
of the nano dose of remedy to affect animals large and small is
nothing short of miraculous.
Chrissie
would never compete without first having given her mount a dose of 4LessStress. Apart from the rigors of competition itself, a
horse has to be trailered to the event, often a harrowing experience
for a claustrophobic animal in a tiny tin capsule traveling at speed!
4LessStress has an added advantage of allowing the animal to relax
up until the start of the event at a time when the horse and rider
often suffer from pent up nerves or butterflies. With these out of
the way, horse and rider can concentrate on the job at hand....the
jump, dressage, barrels or poles or racing.
Due to
the influence of 4LessStress on the musculature as well as the mind, the damage done through strenuous exercise is much
less, and the recovery time very much reduced. If there is danger of
strain or sprain after exercise competition or racing, the remedy 4Recovery added
to 4LessStress is a first response aid that no horseperson should be
without.
Chrissie
recalls a time she was asked to compete. She rode in a first hunter
trial for a horse she thought she knew. Before they left the stable
yard, she slipped a dose of 4LessStress hoping to take the stress
out of the ordeal. The horse entered the trailer and traveled fine,
disembarked, stood to be saddled and walked off to the collecting
ring as if he did this every day. As Chrissie remarks, “I thought
he was very good, but had no idea that this was not normal for him!”
Later that day, after the event, she mentioned to the owner that she
had given Sargent a dose of 4LessStress.
“ Ah!”
Remarked the horse's owner. “I was wondering what had come over
that horse! He is always so nervous and difficult to handle when he
comes out of the trailer!”
Says
Chrissie, “I was never warned I was dealing with a difficult or
dangerous horse! Thank goodness for 4LessStress, it took the problem
away. Since then, I never think of trailering or competing without 4
LessStress”
Again,
the use of FirstAid4Colic has taken care of many cases of colic
before the vet arrived! These cases may not have had such a
successful outcome if FirstAid 4Colic had not been used.
For
stiffness and obvious soreness of legs or feet following exertion
such as hunting, jumping, barrel or western horse sports or horseracing, where undue
stress and pressure has been placed on muscle and tendon, 4Recovery
has taken away the soreness and lameness within a short time, if no severe injury is present. This is an excellent remedy for
the horse who is footsore having cast a shoe, and no endurance rider,
or trail rider should be without it.
Again, I
have seen accidents to animals while in the pasture,
joints sliced by wire, punctures by sharp objects as well as kicks
and bites. In every case by keeping the wound clean and
administering 4FieldInjuries the wound has progressed and healed
without further trouble.
The
development of these remedies, which result from Chrissie's special
training and interests, have produced outstanding
benefits for her horse and others.
As the
remedies have been so successful, especially for that area in between
the pasture and the preparation of the successful sport horse,helping
to achieve optimum health and fitness and the rehabilitation from
veterinary intervention to full recovery, Chrissie has chosen to make
these remedies available for all...
For the
ease and help of our dear Equine friends who generally try so hard to
please us... and their riders, helpers and owners too.
