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. Subtle changes from high quality to inferior ingredients by companies who have had a reputation of providing “safe” products that “promote health and well being” is not only a pet peeve of mine, but it could be a danger to trusting customers as well.

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).

Fly Control for Horses, a Non-Toxic Program

Fly Control For Horses, A Non-Toxic Program
At Soulful Equine, we believe in non-toxic approaches to most anything we do when it comes to our horses, pets and our health.  As I stated in my article “Parasite Resistance In Horses And Chemical Deworming”, we must pay attention to anything that could compromise our horse’s immune system.

Heavy usage of toxic chemicals for fly control is not only unnecessary but is harmful to your horse’s health and to yours.  It also contributes to the environmental issues of using chemicals.

In Loving Memory of Idgie, My Canine Companion

In Loving Memory of Idgie
Last week on Tuesday, March 30th was the first time we at Soulful Equine have missed our regularly scheduled Tuesday blog post.  We set a standard for ourselves to post every Tuesday and have been doing that with diligence since the blog opened on November 10, 2009.  However, for the March 30th blog post, neither Stephanie nor I could bring ourselves to write.

Monday, March 29th was a very sad day at Soulful Equine.  My little dog Idgie had been dealing with heart problems for about 5 years and had lived a quality life until the last week or so.  It soon became apparent that it was time to help her pass, so with a reluctance that I can’t even begin to put into words, I called the vet and asked her to come out to my home that Monday.

Evidence That There Really IS a “Horse Nut Gene”

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.
