Acres USA – A Voice for Eco-Agriculture Review

by

In this article, I introduce you to another product as part of our Product and Service Review Series.  I’m excited to bring this review of Acres USA to you.  I hope that after reading it you’ll understand why I feel so strongly about their overall mission.

Many years ago, when I started on my path of learning about improving my health through proper nutrition, I never realized what would be involved.  I started down this path as a young woman in my early twenties.  At that time, all I wanted was to find ways to improve my athletic performance for playing college basketball.

Although I was doing most everything wrong from a diet standpoint, I learned at a young age that feeding my body correctly and staying healthy can be challenging.

Product Ingredients – Label Reading Pays Off

Post image for Product Ingredients – Label Reading Pays Off
Today I’m going to get up on my soapbox a little bit.  I’ve addressed the importance of product ingredient awareness in a previous article I wrote called Canine Diets And Their Ingredients.

This article takes a slightly different approach and looks more at the importance of label reading as it relates to changes in ingredients.

Six Ways To Read Horses’ Hooves
I love the saying “our eyes are the windows to our souls.”

Let’s take that a step further and say, “Our horses’ hooves are the windows to their bodies.”

In a previous natural hoof care articles, I discussed the importance of looking at the horse from a whole-body standpoint.

In those articles, I mentioned that the hoof is a by-product of most everything else that’s going on in the body.

Killdeer Baby Birds Come Into Being

We here at Soulful Equine have had a blessed event we would like to announce to all our loyal followers.  Within the past few weeks, we became the proud godparents of four bouncing baby killdeer.

Now, I understand that this is a website devoted mostly to animals of the equine persuasion, but since I don’t have the “horse nut gene” referred to in my Evidence That There Really IS A “Horse Nut Gene” article, I felt it was my duty as the geneless one to expand our horizons and look at some other incredible creatures.

Here is the story of the first batch of Soulful Equine’s 2010 baby killdeer (I just noticed another nest in the middle of the driveway with 2 eggs in it).
