Introduction To Zoopharmacognosy for Horses Workshop Sunday 22nd April 18

Self-selection is a fantastic way for every horse owner to help keep their horse emotionally & physically well. Horses who have the chance to self-select are calmer, healthier & happier, and so are their owners!

This amazing, fun and easy to learn technique is a must for all horse owners, whether you have a top competition horse, a happy hacker, retired or anything in-between! This course will teach you how to start working straight away with herbs and essential oils with your horse – you will be blown away by how bonding it is for you and your horse and I promise you horses will love you even more! Most people don’t realise how much introducing a bit of choice into your horses life can relive so much stress for you and your horse so don’t delay start today and you will never look back!

This course is suitable for everyone wanting the best for their horses, no prior knowledge necessary, but equally suitable for professionals and budding therapists!

Horses instinctively know what they need to keep their body & mind healthy. Unfortunately modern horses don't normally have a big choice of different herbs in their environment, so we need to bring that healthy environment to them! Self-selection meets the horses innate needs to forage for what their mind / body needs from nature. As a benefit you learn lots about how you can use the herbs / oils to! Taking back control of our horses health & happiness is so rewarding.

So for the scientific people:

Zoopharmacognosy refers to the process by which animals self-medicate and naturally forage plants and their essential oils, algae, clay and other natural remedies.

The Demo Day will be run by Catherine Edwards, who is an Animal Health Practitioner with a BSc (HONS) Biology (specialising in Animal Behaviour & Physiology), Qualified Equine Iridologist, Applied Zoopharmacognosist, Animal Communicator & Photonic Red Light Therapist and is extremely experienced in self-medication work.

The Workshop will introduce the animal owner to:

• Understand why and how all animals self- medicate;
• What Applied Zoopharmacognosy is and why you and your horse need it!
• Learn how to safely and effectively offer remedies (herbs, essential oils & natural remedies) for self-selection, how it can help a horse and how it can fit into your management regime;
• Learn, through a demonstration, how to read a horse’s response towards offered essential oils, macerates, dried herbs and minerals;
• Recognise self-medication behaviour in horses, offering them the opportunity to enhance their own wellbeing;
• Learn how to enhance your horse’s environment to allow them to continue to self-medicate.
• Learn how incorporating self-medication will greatly deepen your connection between you and your horse
