Honeybalm and BV Relief for Horses
Horse physiotherapist Claire McGowan has used bee venom in her practice
with many thoroughbred and high performance horses for the last six years. Some
of her cases:
A promising 3-year old thoroughbred mare developed bone chips on both knees.
The owners didn't want an expensive knee operation and decided to put the
mare out to foal. Beforehand, they tried Happy Families BV Relief cream on
both knees every day for a week and then when symptoms returned. The mare
raced five times, for three placings and a win before she was put out to foal.
Now as a brood mare she is quite lame without bee venom treatment, but moves
comfortably with it.
A 3- year old galloper who failed a pre-purchase fetlock flexing veterinary
check. The horse's owners had the animal X-rayed but could find no obvious
damage. However within three months the horse was chronically lame. The horse
was put on a three-month course of Honeybalm For Pets, two tablespoons a day.
He stopped limping and showed sound in his movement - in fact, he won his
first racing trial, passed veterinary tests and was sold after the trial.
An 8-year old trotting horse suffering chronic pain and stifle joint problems
which did not respond to veterinary drugs. With BV Relief cream rubbed on
for 3 days prior to racing he raced without problems. If the cream is discontinued
he gallops on the turns and is disqualified.
A 4-year-old galloper with hair-line fracture of the knee was boxed for
three months. Although the fracture mended, the horse remained very stiff.
After just 3 weeks of BV Relief cream treatment the horse moved normally again.
When a galloper tore a hamstring a vet told the owners the horse would
never race again. A natural regime of Honeybalm was given daily plus BV Relief
cream applied after very hard workouts. The horse went on to win six races.
An eventing horse with an arthritic knee failed veterinary checks after
the strenuous cross country section 3 years running. With BV Relief cream
on the leg the night before the cross country the horse passed the check and
was able to complete the course.
