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.
