Welcome to  Meadowsweet Acre
Herbs for Horses

So far, spring has been a long time coming, bringing a mixture of snow, rain, sleet, ice and more rain.  With all this rain, the pastures are very lush.

Time to think about detoxing and a good milk thistle blend is the way to go. Watch that early spring grass, especially those horses prone to foundering

The barn seems very quiet without Mr Moose around. 
He was ALWAYS there.  Always.  Now he is just a mound of dirt in the side pasture. With the coming of spring I hope to plant flowers and get a memorial stone made. 

I also think its time his image goes on the Meadowsweet Herbal labels.  I will see about getting that done in the coming months.

Herbally yours,
Patti

RIP Mr Moose  1986-2013

With a heavy heart I have to tell the list that my horse, Mr Moose, was put to rest last night at 7pm.- Jan 31 2012.  ( He would have been 27 in July)

At this time we are not sure if it was a pedunculated lipoma strangulation or, more than likely, sudden and severe liver failure.

As many of you already know, Moose was DX'd with EPM when he was only 4 years old and it was because of him that Meadowsweet Acres Herbs for Horses was developed. I was already a practicing herbalist when Moose became ill and I applied my knowledge to develop formulas to help him thru his treatment, which at that time , really wasn't any! This was back in the days when you had to buy big jars of pills and grind them up and mix them with 'whatever" and try to cram this horrid mess into your horse. The old timers on the EPM list will remember our search for the biggest and best pill crushers we could find.

In time, the compounding companies developed the Sulfa/pyrithiamine liquid paste that did help somewhat, but had many side effects and treatment was 9 months or longer. Moose had been treated 3 times over the course of 4 years. During that time I spent a lot of time helping him thru the ordeals with herbal formulas. He was never the best 'taste tester' because he could eat most anything you fed him, but we learned a lot during those years.


Moose gave hope to so many across the country, one of the first to be dx'd with EPM and one of few who did survive those early years. So many horses did not. He went on to perform for many many years, from dressage to musical freestyle, trail riding , eventing, and foxhunting. He never let his size, his color or his blue eyes stop him from doing what HE wanted to do. People loved him, children loved him.

I still remember the german judge that told me after a dressage test, "he is NO dressage horse, he is a MANS horse". excuse me ? what the hell is a MAN'S horse.

Many said you could hear my cursing all the way back to the trailers…lolololol… good heavens never INSULT my Mr Moose, how dare they !

He was gentle and kind and took care of me for many many years.

He will be missed dearly and our barn will not be the same.

Patti
