NATURAL HOOF ANTHOLOGY
Yvonne Welz, Editor of “The Horses Hoof” has reviewed it and says,
Gwen’s passion for the horse shines through in this beautiful compilation of articles. There is a huge amount of info in here!! Whether you are a beginner to natural hoof care or a seasoned expert, you will appreciate the wealth of tips, advice, and things that make you go “hmmmm”! All articles are written from the “whole horse” perspective – that every single thing we do to the horse affects every other part of the horse. Gwen covers just about every topic related to horse care and hoof trimming you can imagine, with much food for thought, and excellent photos/illustrations. An enjoyable read for everyone on that eternal quest to create more natural lives for our beloved horses!
David Jones, Founder and Owner of HoofArmor LLC has also reviewed it and says,
When I switched from Engineering to Hoof Care 28 years ago, the cutting edge was aluminum horseshoes. The accepted procedure was to balance the hooves, perhaps symmetrically, 50 degrees in the front and 55 in the back, and nail on the proper size horseshoe. There were choices … you could get keg shoes, barrel shoes, rim shoes, gaited horseshoes, with or without pads and that was about it. Over the years I have learned a lot and out of necessity, by trial and error and observations, I found things that could actually help horses, barefoot hoof care being one of them. Now, with this book, you don’t have to go through that. I learned that there is more to hoof care than fixing the hooves, and that there are an enormous amount of factors that we are still learning about. Much of that is in this book and it will give you the head start that I wish I had. Don’t ever stop learning because your horse is depending on you.
And then Nick Hill, owner of V&T Hoof Specialists in Bulgeria … he has seen it and wrote,
I would urge anyone who is interested in horses to read Gwenyth’s book, You may or may not agree with everything (like most things written), but it is written over several years from personal experience by a very experienced professional who really cares about horse welfare and is always willing to share knowledge. So go get yourself a short cut to experience!!

While going through some old PENZANCE Natural Hoofcare website pages that I had created back in the early, early 2000’s, I ran across some good Q & A’s from Dr. Tom Tesky on NATURAL HOOFCARE that I thought would be interesting to re-post and review. Here is the list: (I hope they are visible in mobile devices but if not, I know they are on a PC.)
“What people also do not understand is that horses do not become metabolic from starch, but from feeds that are high in glycemic index- how fast the blood sugar spikes.”
That is a quote from someone last year when discussing a particular brand of horse feed that is organic and whole. There was quite the debate about the WHOLE OATS and dried fruits, etc. that are in this feed.
I would reply, “What people also do not understand is that the glycemic index does NOT tell how fast the blood sugar spikes but how much sugar is in the feed.
The GLYCEMIC LOAD tells how fast the food rises the blood sugar.
“A food with a high GI raises blood sugar more than a food with a medium to low GI. But the glycemic index does not take into account the amount of carbohydrate in a food. So glycemic load is a better indicator of how a carbohydrate food will affect blood sugar.“
It seems even the ‘experts’ are not aware of this.
For example, an apple has a Glycemic INDEX of 67!
Whoa — way higher than we’ve been told any metabolic horse should eat, right?
Well, the Glycemic LOAD is just ……. are you ready for this?
5
That’s right. 5. In fact, apples are known to HELP REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR!
One CARROT has a glycemic index of 71!!! BUT …
the GLYCEMIC LOAD is just —
6!!!
Carrots and Apples are actually HEALING for horses when incorporated into a RAW FORAGE DIET!
Well, simple … basically a salad! RAW greens, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables … ORGANIC, these days, are best.
A tailored ‘salad’ is best for horses that need nutritional and dietary help. There are specific ingredients that can help, specifically, with specific conditions like EMS, Cushings, IR, Arthritis, Heaves, Laminitis and more.
Please contact me if you’d like to learn more or are interested in how you can help YOUR HORSE get healthy again!
HOME STUDY COURSE with personal coaching/intruction
If your horse’s hooves don’t look close to what is pictured above then I can almost assuredly say your horse has challenges with his hooves … tender, ouchy on rocks, short strided and more?
Find out how you can FIX these challenges! And, even if YOU don’t want to learn to trim your horses’ hooves yourself you’ll want to learn about the hooves so you can help your farrier or trimmer to get your horse 100% sound on ALL terrain! This is information you’ll not find anywhere else but is an integral part of Whole Health for the Whole Horse — and most importantly, THE HOOVES!

What a funny word. Puts me in mind of tiny little cartoon buggies running around our guts.
Actually, did you know that we are MORE “buggies” (bacterial cells) than we are human cells?
The same applies to our horses.
So what, you ask?
I’ll tell you what — those microbiome buggies are the little critters that keep us healthy!
Over 80% of the immune system lies in the gut … in these little gut buggies. And THAT is a HUGE deal!
Our bodies and our horses’ bodies are full of trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are collectively known as the microbiome.
Some of the bacteria is related to diseases while others are extremely important to the immune system and overall health.
In fact, there are more bacterial cells in your body than human cells. There are roughly 40 trillion bacterial cells in your body and only 30 trillion human cells. That means you are more bacteria than human (1, 2).
In fact, there are up to 1,000 species of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, and each of them plays a different role in your body. Most of them are extremely important for your health, while others can and do cause disease.
In the hindgut of a horse, changes in the bacteria levels through dietary disruption, seasonal changes, stress, or age can lead to colic and laminitis, causing lameness or even death in severe cases. In this study, we profiled bacterial communities from fecal samples collected and submitted by horse-owners participating in the Equine Microbiome Project (EMP) and correlated differences in community structure with feed type, specifically horses eating exclusively hay, pasture, a hay-concentrate mix, or a combination of pasture, hay, and concentrate as reported in EMP metadata surveys. –https://www.j-evs.com/article/S0737-0806(17)30256-3/abstract
So, I ask you – which kind of bacteria are you feeding YOUR HORSE? (Well, and yourself, too — after all, our horses needs their humans to be healthy in order to take care of them, right?)
A very wise man once stated, “All disease begins in the gut.” — Hippocrates
Well, that doesn’t include genetic diseases but we’re talking metabolics here.
Think of Cushings, Insulin Resistance, EMS, Auto-immune, Leaky Gut, and so many more chronic nasties. THESE are the types of diseases with which our domestic horses are challenged more and more each day.
This has a lot to do with the different gut bacteria residing in the digestive tracts, as well as the integrity of the gut lining (1).
According to numerous studies, unwanted bacterial products called endotoxins can sometimes “leak” through and enter the bloodstream (2).
When this happens, the immune system recognizes these foreign molecules and mounts an attack against them, resulting in a chronic inflammatory response (3).
Inflammation is the response of the immune system to foreign invaders, toxins or cell injury.
Suffice to say, diet-induced inflammation has been shown to trigger insulin resistance, leptin resistance (causing obesity), fatty liver disease, and has been strongly linked to many of the world’s most serious diseases (4, 5, 6)
Without going into much more detail and totally bogging down our minds, suffice to say that, once again, Hippocrates was right when he said,
“Let thy medicine be thy food and thy food be thy medicine.”
So now, you know what MICROBIOMES are, how they affect your horses’ overall health (and your own). I guess the question now arises as to … do you want to learn more?
The key questions being … What are you gonna do now that you know this?
Ask me about my WHOLE HEALTH for the WHOLE HORSE protocol.
Don’t be shy. Email to me: gwen.santagate@gmail.com or even call me on the phone +1 860.556.9199 Let’s set up some time to chat further.
Many horse owners have been frightened into putting their horses into dry lots, keeping them off grass and feeding expensive, ‘specially formulated’ feeds and supplements to ‘manage’ their horses’ dis-eases. From arthritis to Cushings to EMS and IR, COPD, Allergies, Ulcers, HOOF ISSUES, and more …
Over the years I have had veterinarians, trainers, owners, professionals tell me that I was killing my horses and my clients horses by advocating for, recommending and feeding a raw organic “Salad” diet to the horses. Even telling me/us that the improvement in their horses’ health was a “Placebo” effect!
HOW RIDICULOUS!
And, as I’ve been harping on ORGANIC foods, for both horses AND humans (and other critters, too), I’ve gotten poo-poo’d and ridiculed and called names, even.
It’s NOT a ‘placebo’ effect any more than the moon is made of swiss cheese.
It’s real.
And here’s WHY … MUST WATCH!!!
Supplied by Anthony Samsel, Here are the 160 foods that glyphosate contaminates in our food supply and the reason why everything we eat should be 100% organic with organic fertilizers as well.
This is from the EPA federal register and shows the allowable, therefore expected, levels of glyphosate in our food crops in the parts per million. The levels of glyphosate are the ALLOWABLE amounts, so conceivably, the amounts could be less ( most likely not though because the chemical companies ask the EPA to raise the levels 2, 4 even 30X higher in a year and they do), but that fact that any glyphosate is allowed in the food at all, considering what we now know about the effects on humans, in my opinion, is an assault on the human race. Glyphosate caused organ damage in rats at .1 parts per million in a European study. Breast cancer has been shown to be caused by glyphosate in the parts per trillion*: Notice how high the GMO crops allowable amount are..cottonseeds, canola seed, corn, sugar beets and soy, on food crops which glyphosate is used as a dessicant or drying agent, like legumes, dry peas, wheat, and soy, and in root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots.
EPA limits for glyphosate residues as published in the Federal Register.
180.364 Glyphosate tolerances for residues.
(a) General. (1) Tolerances are established for residues of glyphosate, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below resulting from the application of glyphosate, the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, the ethanolamine salt of glyphosate, the dimethylamine salt of glyphosate, the ammonium salt of glyphosate, and the potassium salt of glyphosate. Compliance with the following tolerance levels is to be determined by measuring only glyphosate ( N- (phosphonomethyl)glycine).

This is a LIVE Q&A (well recorded live) session that I did in SW FL. Part of the plans for PENZANCE now is to be offering regular Q&A sessions again. This one goes over some of the Essential Oils that we use here on the farm as well as a brief, overall synopsis of what our WHOLE HEALTH FOR THE WHOLE HORSE protocol is.
ENJOY!

Without going into much more detail and totally bogging down our minds, suffice to say that, once again, Hippocrates was right when he said,
