Make Your Horse the Perfect Match for You
There are many approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but the Five-Element approach is unique in that it includes the idea that each of us, animal or human, represents a “constitutional type,” exhibiting certain physical and emotional traits that are specific to that type. Viewing the individual from this perspective can also be applied to horses, thus facilitating a better understanding of any given horse’s nature and needs. Madalyn Ward, DVM has created a variety of resources to help horse owners understand these personality types and provide for their individual needs.

Other Horse Support Formulas
Gastro PLUS PRO™ Against Ulcer and Stomach Problems
Gastro PLUS PRO address gastric and colonic ulcers in horses from a different physiological standpoint than the current drugs, which suppress gastric acid secretions for short term relief (similar to Prilosec for people).
