When the Smoke Rolls In… 🌫️🐴

Around here, neighbors look out for each other—so when the wildfire smoke got bad and the coughing started, our friends rode over on their mules for a little help.

A salt therapy session was just what they needed. The fine salt particles help clear the airways, ease the irritation, and bring that deep, easy breathing back—without drugs, chemicals, or stress.

It’s the kind of simple, natural care we love to share in our corner of the world. Just good neighbors, happy mules, and fresh air in the making.

🏆 The Secret Performance Advantage 🐎

Equine salt therapy is quickly becoming a go-to wellness treatment for performance horses across the country—and for good reason.

This natural, drug-free therapy uses microscopic salt particles to gently cleanse the respiratory system, reduce inflammation, and support faster recovery after intense training or competition. By improving lung function and circulation, horses can breathe easier, move more freely, and perform at their peak.

From rodeo arenas to show rings, more trainers, riders, and owners are turning to salt therapy to give their horses that extra edge—while also promoting long-term health and well-being.

✨ Because when your horse can breathe better, they can do everything better.

Jolene had a bit of an unexpected delay before her departure when she sustained a head injury on her horse trailer.

Thankfully, we were able to stop the bleeding and clean the wound immediately using high-quality emergency care products we keep on hand for situations just like this.

Following the incident, she showed signs of tension and blocked energy, particularly in her neck and poll area. We applied AcuLife phototherapy patches, and within seconds, she began to relax and showed noticeable improvement in her comfort and demeanor.

Jolene was able to continue her journey to New Mexico, where her owner may opt for further veterinary evaluation if needed.

Jolene came to stay with us for the night…hopefully she’s not out to steal Emma’s man. 🤭

For Cash...

Anyone who personally knows me will say that I am passionate about yoga and all the benefits that come with focusing on breathing. I am also madly in love with my horses. These two go hand in hand for me. In early 2019 my walker, Cash, developed a cough and some labored breathing. Not being satisfied with it’s “just heaves,” I hauled him to a clinic in Ohio for more testing. His cough (that didn’t sound right to me) turned out to be the result of a Dorsal Displacement of the Soft Palate. But he also had low grade heaves. I was heartbroken. We had just started conditioning for endurance rides and having a blast. He has always been my peppy and forward Tennessee Walker, and to see him miserable and breathing hard was devastating. I, at one time, considered selling him because I thought he was going to be too much horse for me to handle. His high energy and my high energy were like fuel on fire. I didn’t want to give up though. That’s when I started practicing yoga and learning how to breathe and channel my energy and emotions around him. The change was drastic! We have put on hundreds and hundreds of miles together. This past year, I told him once again, I would not give up on him and I would remain loyal to keeping him comfortable.

After countless nights of research, praying, and a personal experience with halotherapy, I decided this is what I wanted to do for Cash and horses from all over. This therapy is not just for horses with respiratory or skin conditions. It is for any horse to prevent infection and keep the lungs in optimal shape. My other walker, Sully, has sweet itch. He lives the summers covered head to hoof like many others. Using the micro-fine areosol mist of pharmaceutical grade salt on his skin takes down inflammation and helps to heal the open sores. Giving comfort and relief to horses and their owners who share my story is my ultimate goal; or if you just want to keep the respiratory hygiene of your athletes in tip - top shape. All horses deserve santosha, deep contentment and joy. Making space to live in the moment, to accept what comes, and to create a brand new story. Inhaling the positive and exhaling the negative!

I am teaming up Fancy Tale Essence, LLC. A spectacular line of custom made blends of aromatherapy. A product, Just Breathe, will be recommended to use in between your halotherapy treatments to aid in the process. Along with Just Breathe, there are many other combinations your horse may benefit from with a personal evaluation performed by Fancy Tale Essence owner, Patrica Ann Shay, EDA/NCNHC/Natural Equine Health. Fancy Tale Essence is a product using aromatherapy for horses. Energy healing is a holistic approach to help achieve emotional and physical soundness. Aromatherapy is used to give the horse a smell that invokes a feeling that encourages the horse to overcome many challenges. Seeking a holistic balance emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Let The Energy Flow...

A well performing horse needs emotional and physical balance. Untie the knots in the body AND mind.
