Essential Oils for Horses by Carole Faith
This comprehensive guide is designed to help those who wish to know how to use essential oils on their horses and covers everything from profiles of the oils themselves, what utensils to use and the conditions that can be treated. Essential oils are used to treat sweet itch and other skin problems, mud fever, strained muscles and tendons, respiratory ailments, digestive and emotional problems, to ward off flies and much, much more. The guide also shows massage sequences that are easy to understand and can be undertaken by the most novice horse owner, as well as providing essential oil chemistry profiling and giving details of where you can purchase everything you would need. In an age when the world at large is looking for less invasive, gentler routes to health and well-being for their animals, especially horses, this guide is an illuminating, thought-provoking work that should be part of every stable yard and equine home.
Carole Faith has had a lifelong love of horses but came to riding only in her late teens. Some years later, thrown in at the deep end exercising showjumpers she learnt that treating the horse with a more sensitive approach led to fewer bruises, bites and unscheduled meetings with terra firma. Carole trained as an aestheticienne in 1987 and gradually began to work more on animals than humans, finding essential oils by fortuitous accident some years ago. Carole later qualified as an aromatherapist with the specific aim of working with horses and has also studied with Caroline Ingraham who is well known for her work in the equine sphere. Carole is married and lives on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border with five horses and three dogs where she has her own essential oil therapy practice, concentrating mainly on horses and their riders.
