EO, shortened nickname for Melchior– it means King, in Polish.. and since I am Polish, and He is quite Regal.. it fit. Anyway- EO is one of my OTTB semi-rescues.

My mother passed away in February and I took on responsibility for her budgerigar Sky. He is a lovely little bird – very noisy and feisty – isn’t hand tamed and doesn’t like to be touched. Heaven help you if you try! He is approximately 5 years old – give or take. Mum used to…

I’ve worked with a handful of riders who had deep fear issues, some of whom had many years of riding and horse ownership. What needs to be understood, and addressed, is the way the body stores fear-memory at the cellular level. Yoga, breathwork, grounding and relaxation techniques need to be incorporated – otherwise the trainer…

Here is one of the most amazing things that happened to me in this life. I was driving my two cats in my ex-wife’s little Honda. I had to take them out of the apartment as the apartment was “bombed” against roaches. I could not prevent this and I actually wanted it to happen. I…

Pain and Inflammation can be traumatic for them. A horse is no different to any other animal in that they suffer pain. Arthritis, inflammation from physical injury or any other means, can go unnoticed until it becomes a severe problem. And, with the cost of maintaining big animals, to invite the vet just to do…
