OMGosh!! I didn’t think Victoria’s extensive knowledge could be explained more clearly than in her book “The Complete HORSE HERBAL” but as always Victoria seeks ways to help our equine friends by giving us a means by which to head towards answers and help in times of need beyond our knowledge. This new book explains the whys wherefores and how too to help us care for our beloved horses and adds to the library for direction and answers. Having this book gives me confidence to give my horse good nutrition and first aid. Thank you Victoria I am, as always grateful…………….Sue T

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Sue, great coming from you as we have a long standing connection, and I am sure horse owners thinking of turning to herbs will value your comments.

Book Review: The Holistic Horse Herbal by Victoria Ferguson

As a herbalist and long time follower of Victoria, I’ve always valued grounded, experience-based herbal wisdom. Over the years, Victoria Ferguson has been an incredible source of that wisdom, guiding and supporting me in caring for my horses naturally.

Her new book, The Holistic Horse Herbal, is an invaluable must-have for anyone wanting to take responsibility for their horses’ health and wellbeing. It combines practical information with a clear, empowering natural health philosophy. The number of times I’ve turned to my herbal first aid kit, using what I’ve learned from Victoria, has been invaluable support.

Victoria is one of a kind — a gifted teacher and true pioneer in holistic horse care. I’m deeply grateful for all I’ve learned from her and highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a more natural and compassionate way to care for their horses.

I have been feeding my horses a natural diet for 3 years now. I can't ever imagine doing otherwise. My horses have benefited hugely. Their overall health has improved and has put them in good stead for taking on the incredibly difficult northern rivers climate that they live in.

Response from the owner:Thank you Ghita - we think it is so important for horse owners to hear how a wholesome natural diet helps horses cope well in difficult environments, of which there are many in Australia.

I have had only good experiences with Walkenny Park.
My favourite product, Equivital, has made an enormous difference with all of my horses, most notably their coats improved out of sight, their tails and manes became healthy and thick and all the hoof problems disappeared.
Couldn't be happier.

Response from the owner:Thank you Beate, great to hear you have had such good results with your lovely horses.
