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.
The following is a note that I received from a client last night. It just made my heart sing! THIS is why I do this! THIS is why I continue to advocate for feeding horses and keeping horses like … well, horses!
Welp. I just got disowned by my first mentor who certified me in trimming. Not for changing the way i trim a bit, but because my horses are out on pasture and I’m feeding them a whole foods diet. In her words, “its irresponsible and she cannot condone such misguided advice for horses, let alone cushings/ir type.”
But i wanted to thank you again, because buck is better than he has ever been and he is so much happier. Fabio is doing great, he can run on gravel even though his hooves are not even close to being good. And my new girl is already debloating and I think her eyes are even less swollen today and its only been three days since i brought her home.
Her and two others like her were saved and are happy and galloping around because of you i told my friend we could take a chance on this gelding who was dry lotted, fat, super lame, in shoes and worsening rotation. We took him and turned him out to pasture, did some very specific, barely noticeable trimming and in 6 weeks he was galloping around the pasture. Once that barn learned we fixed him another lady asked us to take her two who had the exact same problems. So we now have three registered rocky mountain horses for free who are sound and no longer in pain. These two we just got we had her farrier not touch since the last trim and they came sound a few weeks ago without her trimming, but they still had them locked up in small dry lots with alfalfa and salt blocks. And both have huge cresty necks, bulging eyes and those weird fat deposits in the shoulders and rump. The first one did too but not as bad and he looks amazing now.
Thanks to you, I now know the truth behind truly healthy, happy horses. It was hard for me to let go and feed Buck all these things that logically seem healthy and good, but had been brainwashed into believing they were culprits… how silly!
Anywho, thank you for being you and for standing up for the truth. –Lacelynn, Peoria, IL

If you would like to be kept informed as to the happenings here on PENZANCE for 2019, please email to: gwen.santagate@gmail.com and your name and contact information will be recorded for future announcements.
Thank you!
🙂 — We are EXCITED to begin this new journey with PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions!
PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions is now nestled in the “Quiet Corner” of CT.
A move from Douglas, MA to SW Florida did not pan out the way it was expected. Many factors played into the decision to move back to New England from FL but mostly health reasons for the horses and humans alike.
It was a good move.
PENZANCE now has the room to offer clinics and workshops covering WHOLE HEALTH for the WHOLE HORSE. Equine Natural Nutrition, Natural Balanced Hoofcare, Clicker Training, Faith-based Equine Assisted Personal Development as well as general Equine Connections are all part of what is to come in the spring of 2019. Plans are being put into place to host Guest Experts in the Equine Natural Care, as well. Stay Tuned!
In the meantime, while you are waiting for the exciting new events in 2019, Gwenyth Santagate, founder and owner of PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions, offers private and semi-private sessions in all of the above mentioned areas. If you would like to talk with Gwenyth or schedule an introductory appointment (or regular appoinment) please feel free to email to her: gwen.santagate@gmail.com or call her (860) 556-9199.
Please — if you have particular workshops or clinics that you would like to see offered here in “The Quiet Corner” of CT, jot them down below in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.
All true spiritual leadership is birthed out of friendship with the Lord. He once told his disciples that he no longer considered them servants; He considered them friends.
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” — John 15:15
As a good steward for your horse, do you feel you can be a “Friend” or do you feel you MUST be THE LEADER?
PENZANCE – "God's Holy Headland. The place for spiritual growth."
