Brown Recluses, Nudity and Guardian Angels (G-Rated)

October 5, 2010 by Sharon Tousley

Few things strike fear into the hearts of people quite like spiders do.  The brown recluse, in particular, brings about visions of swelling flesh, open wounds and gangrene.

The brown recluse (also known as the Violin Spider and the Fiddleback Spider) is found only in North America.  North Americans are very fortunate in that there are only two native spiders that are considered extremely poisonous.  In addition to the brown recluse there is her distant cousin, the black widow.

The Brown Recluse Spider – A Nasty Little Creature

The brown recluse’s venom is different from that of the black widow in that it doesn’t affect the nervous system.  Instead, it is a necrotic toxin that acts directly on the skin and muscles to kill the tissues immediately surrounding the bite.  In addition to the dead tissue healing slowly, if at all, severe cases can result in toxic shock and kidney failure.  If you’ve ever seen pictures of human arms and legs that have been bitten, you completely understand how nasty this tiny creature can be.

7 Effective Articles For Horse Enthusiasts

July 20, 2010 by Stephanie Krahl

Horse Articles
For many years I toyed with the idea of creating an online presence that I could use to educate and inspire horse enthusiasts… not just any horse enthusiast, but those individuals who have a deep connection with their equine partners.

These individuals are very special.  They have a passion for horses like no other.  They don’t put their goals before their principles and no matter what it takes, they don’t do anything to lose rapport with their equine companions.

These special individuals keep in mind, and respect the fact that, they share this world with other creatures.

Killdeer Baby Birds Come Into Being

April 27, 2010 by Sharon Tousley

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).

Evidence That There Really IS a “Horse Nut Gene”

March 1, 2010 by Sharon Tousley

Sharon – Early Dreams of Riding Like the Wind

I have decided that it’s time to try to look further into whether or not there really is a “horse nut gene.”

There are things in this world that are best left unexplored, but I don’t feel that this is one of them.  By showing that this gene truly does exist, we will be helping to remove the stigma that these poor souls live with on a daily basis.

No longer will people wonder if environment played a factor.  It will simply be accepted as something they were “born with”… an inherited trait … not a disease and something worthy of psychoanalysis.
