I am so sick of scraping mud off of my mules, and tracking mud in the house. I want the round pen to dry out. I want to stop blanketing my show mule, and be able to turn her out in her paddock without fear she will re-wrench her bad shoulder in the 6 inch deep mud. While I ride all winter, I want to be able to go out on solid trail footing and not slog up the steep slope to the logging roads that is treacherous in the winter. Down is like skiing on my mule. I am so very grateful that we have such wonderful well trained well mannered saddle mules, that always know where there feet are. The hardly ever put a foot wrong.
I can see the summer coat gloss peeking through the long and dirty winter hair. My husband's mule Johnny Cash and my colt are late shedders. They are pretty sure they will still need their winter coats for a while yet, and don't start "blowing" until late April. Princess Rosalinda, who is blanketed is already almost shedded out, but she always blows her winter hair early.
FYI: Now is the time to start feeding those seasonal allergy prone horses their Allergy Support, it takes several weeks for those herbs to start working. You can contact me at www.halfmoonequineherbals.com or spirit@halfmoonequineherbals.com to consult or order some Allergy herbs. They work very well on horses with heaves, spring pollen intolerance, or eye issues due to allergies.

Liver Support for Horses
Hi Everyone!
I had the pleasure of "meeting" Lydia Hiby, a very well known animal communicator recently, and we have teamed up together. Many of her clent's horses, mules, and donkeys are expressing the need for milk thistle to support their overtaxed livers.
Lydia has been referring her clients to Half Moon Equine Herbals for our Liver Support blend. A wonderful woman from the East Coast asked me why her horse might need herbs that help his liver function better. I think equines need liver detoxification and liver tonic for the same reasons that we humans do. Her Tennessee Walker had had a questionable background, and had come to her emaciated. The liver works extra hard to rid the body of toxins in times of stress, whether it be environmental or otherwise. As well, our horses live in the same polluted environment that we do, and that can be hard on the kidneys and liver. Spring is a fabulous time to feed our Liver Support, and horse owners should think about helping their horses detox several times a year.
All the best,
Spirit
