Guidelines For To Understanding Your Report:

Energy levels give us an overall idea to where the horses lows are, we feel there is no right or wrong but obviously higher energy levels indicate a healthier/happier horse. We are looking at the whole horse physically, emotionally and mentally.

 
% Percentage
Readings Relating To The Physical Body:

These readings give us/you an indication to the low areas within your horse, areas that we feel if addressed will help to bring the horse back into balance.

We help to physically rebalance your horse by way of addressing current diet, (many horses are allergic to what they eat!) supplementation, magnetic therapy when needed, also recommending realigning of the body if necessary by way of chiropractor, physiotherapist, etc.

% Percentage Readings Relating To The Emotional/Mental Body:

These readings give us/you an indication to the low areas within your horses emotional/mental health, this is an extremely important area that if left unaddressed can manifest into physical problems later on in the horses life.

We identify where the horse is out of balance and help rebalance by way of specialised prescription flower essences to “unblock any negative emotions”.


Ruby’s Current Energy Levels:

As a guide line Whole Horse Energy Levels: 10/10 = 100%  1/10 = Well below normal


Physical Energy:  3/10  

Emotional Energy:
3/10

Mental Energy:
3/10


Specific items Identified:
 
Picking a wheat intolerance of 40% can’t use baileys lo cal as has wheatfeed in it and it doesn’t agree with her. Also although you have her on msm she is not getting enough, also needs other vitamins so the msm can be processed in the body properly.

Although you are currently giving her
MSM which is great, if isn’t quite enough for her body requirements at this time.

I also believe that her emotional/mental energy is low because of the physical lows, if we build her up nutritionally her emotional/mental health will improve.

I don’t know when Ruby was last wormed, but her gut flora is quite unbalanced, she just  needs a Probiotic to replace it, also I recommend that you do this each take you worm her, unless you move her over to natural wormers.

Amino Deficiencies

Amino acids play central roles both as building blocks of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. The 20 amino acids that are found within proteins convey a vast array of chemical versatility. The precise amino acid content, and the sequence of those amino acids, of a specific protein, is determined by the sequence of the bases in the gene that encodes that protein. The chemical properties of the amino acids of proteins determine the biological activity of the protein. Proteins not only catalyze all (or most) of the reactions in living cells, they control virtually all cellular process.

Arginine

It relaxes the arteries, including the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, helping to maintain healthy blood pressure and blood flow, also improves circulation throughout the body.



Aspartic Acid

Aspartic acid is very important in the urea cycle for the proper elimination of waste products from dietary protein. Poor control of the urea cycle may be related to symptoms such as chronic headache, fatigue, irritability, lack of concentration, mental confusion, and intolerances to various foods, particularly high protein foods.

Deficiencies of a nonessential amino acid will not occur if a well-balanced diet is consumed because the intake of proper foods will allow the body to produce exactly the amount of amino acid required to function optimally.

Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid, found in high levels in skeletal and cardiac muscles of all mammals, but in very low levels in cereal grains and plants.

Many trials have confirmed a link between the L-Carnitine content of skeletal muscles and the capacity to convert fats into energy in athletic horses, dogs and humans.

In other words… the level of L-Carnitine in muscles plays the major role in determining the exercise capacity of muscles.

Histidine

Histidine is the main precursor for histamine, which is an important chemical in the immune system. Histidine plays a very important role in the growth and repair of tissues in the body. One major role of histidine in the body is in preserving the integrity of the myelin sheaths that protect and insulate the nerve cells.

Tryptophan

Fatigue is an important factor affecting exercise and sporting performances. It is defined physiologically as the inability to maintain power output and the organism uses it as a defence mechanism to avoid irreversible damage due to excessive exertion. Fatigue is a complex multifactorial element with peripheral and central components. Central fatigue develops in the central nervous system and involves brain serotonin (5-HT) level. The serotonergic system is associated with numerous brain functions that can positively or negatively affect endurance. Accordingly, the synthesis and metabolism of 5-HT in the brain increases in response to exercise. Furthermore, the rise of brain serotonin concentration is associated with markers of central fatigue such as decreased motivation, lethargy, tiredness and loss of motor coordination.

Mineral Deficiencies

More than 18 mineral elements are believed to be essential for mammals. There are even macrominerals: calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. There are at least 11 microminerals or trace elements: iron, zinc, copper, iodine, selenium, cobalt, molybdenum, fluorine, boron, and chromium.

Minerals are inorganic elements that are vital to life and are components of muscles, tis sue s and bones. Minerals play an important role in sustaining and regulating various chemical reactions and bodily functions, including acid-base balance, oxygen transport, nerve conduction and immunological responses. Some minerals act as antioxidants, which may help prevent diseases that are caused by the damaging effects of free radicals (i.e., autoimmune disease )

Magnesium

Horses with a clinical magnesium deficit are often very nervous because they cannot relax their muscles properly. The horse’s body will also try to make up for the magnesium deficit by releasing magnesium from the bones, also releasing a lot of calcium and phosphor in the process. This results in brittle bones and problems causing lameness on the places where tendons and ligaments attach to the bones.

 
Calcium

Calcium is a very important mineral for horses. Calcium and phosphorus are the most abundant minerals in the body, making up 70% of the total mineral content. Calcium has several important functions in the body. Most people are familiar with calcium being necessary for strong, healthy bones. In fact, 99% of the calcium in the body is contained in the bones and teeth. A horse which is asked to perform athletically must have optimally strong bones to withstand the rigors of training and hard work, whether it be for racing or other performance. In addition to bone formation/strength, calcium is important for several vital metabolic functions in the body including:

Muscle contraction ("calcium pump"), Skeletal muscle for locomotion, Heart muscle to pump blood efficiently, Smooth muscle, such as within the gastrointestinal tract for normal "gut motility" and digestion, Nerve conduction, Other specific metabolic reactions (blood clotting, normal cell membrane function, glandular secretion, temperature regulation, regulating activity of many enzymes, and cellular activity)

The importance of calcium to the performance horse includes normal functioning of metabolism, the conduction of impulses along the nerves to muscle, the contraction of leg and body muscles for exercise, the contraction of the heart muscle for pumping blood, the contraction of the diaphragm for breathing, the functioning of the GI muscle for digestion. Calcium also plays a vital role in maintaining strong and healthy bones, cartilage and joints for peak performance without injury/breakdown.

The Regulation of Calcium

Due to the vital metabolic functions of calcium, its level in the bloodstream is closely regulated by the body. Vitamin D and hormones, such as PTH (parathyroid hormone) and calcitonin, normally maintain blood calcium levels within a narrow range to ensure normal muscle/nerve conduction and metabolic functions. Ideally, a horse's daily calcium requirement should be provided entirely from the diet. If not, bone provides a "storage" form of calcium for the body. When the diet does not provide adequate calcium, the PTH stimulates the mobilization of calcium from bones and into the bloodstream. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin also prevent high calcium levels in the blood (calcemia) by excreting excess calcium into the urine and reducing absorption from the gut. With long-term dietary calcium deficiency, significant reabsorption of bone can occur, which can lead to decreased bone strength or abnormal bone formation. Thus, the body will sacrifice optimum bone strength formation to maintain the blood calcium levels, if necessary


Sulphur – (MSM)

MSM is an organic sulphur compound that is abundant in fresh grass, but is lost in hay and silage. In the horse’s body MSM has a whole range of functions, for example supporting the immune system. It also makes for healthy cartilage, a shining coat and good quality hoof horn. For performance horses or horses that have no access to grazing land, it is vital that they receive extra MSM in their diet.

 
Vitamin Deficiencies

Vitamins are complex organic substances required in very small amounts to maintain growth, health and survival of living creatures. Plants can manufacture the vitamins they require but animals on the whole cannot, and therefore require them as an essential part of the diet. The dietary source may be in the form of a precursor from which the animal is able to manufacture the vitamin.

Vitamin D

Vitamin is essential for bone growth and strength, regulation of calcium and phosphorus.


Vitamin C

Vitamins are classified into two groups: Soluble & Insoluble. This is determined by their solubility in either water or fat. The solubility factor determines the location within the horses system each vitamin functions.

All vitamins are required in very small amounts. Horses cannot synthesise vitamins of their own accord within the system and require vitamins to be supplied in feed or supplementation. The vitamin content and individual vitamin levels can vary in respect to whether horses feed in the field is green or dry, the season and at what stage of maturation the growth is at.

Vitamins are essential in the horses system for numerous reasons. In respect to the broad picture vitamins are required for:

Metabolism, Bone growth and development, Reproduction, Respiration, Vision, Skin and coat health, Liver and kidney function, Immune system, Growth and performance.


 
To Help Re Balance The Body (Restore the correct ph level) we recommend the following:


Because of her current intolerance, may I recommend that you use a natural horse feed company, the following feed is coming up for Ruby currently, also my aim long term for you is for us to get her body back into balance and then perhaps maintain her on a healthy natural horse feed diet, to keep her fit, healthy and happy!

DIET

www.simplesystem.co.uk

Haylage seems to be okay for her currently, however she would benefit from changing to the following to help with her intolerances and deficieincies now and long term.

Eclispe Recovery & Lucie cobs (high in Vitamin D her body needs this), instead of the Baileys lo cal, and the Saracen re leve.

If you phone the girls here, you can tell them I have done Rubys hair and this is what she requires.


Regarding deficiencies:

To rebalance Ruby's bodies deficiencies Equimagnets ar lucky enough now to work with a specialist herbal & homeopathic practice this way we are able to taylor make your personal blend to your horses bodies exact deficiency requirement (as shown above) therefore not over loading it with vitamins, minerals etc you body does not require at this time.

All blends are 100% natural and are hand made and come in powder form for horses.

We recommend that Ruby takes 15ml once a day in her feed for a 5 week period.

After this period of time you will have noticed that things will have changed and a re test is recommended.

Many of our clients have hectic schedules trying to  juggle home life with their horses so with that in mind have asked us to provide a reminder service, so once your start with Ruby's blend we will automatically advise you when your re test is due by email. 

These items will help to put Ruby’s body back into balance, the body is an amazing tool when it comes to correcting/healing itself. Provided we pull out any toxins that shouldn’t be there and put in all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, omegas etc that the body needs to function correctly on a daily basis.

I normally recommend that the above is supplemented for 5/6 weeks after this period a re test is advised as many things change within in the body and to carry on with certain supplements may not be advisable or even needed!

Once the deficiencies have been corrected many clients are able to feed their horses/dogs a good natural feeding system to keep them horses in balance. 

I would suggest that you give me a ring on 01628 624581 when you have five minutes to go through Ruby’s Hair report with you and I can then explain my findings, it also gives you opportunity to ask any queries or questions that you may have.
