Rambo:  20 year old Quarter horse

Lisa has helped me incredibly with my horse Rambo in just these short 8 months. He was lame on his front left from ringbone with swelling and calcification. Corrective shoeing and many supplements later, I’ve finally found what is working for my horse and that is Lisa St.John. I just couldn’t give up on my Rambo.

July 2009, additional comments from the owner, Kim: 

“I have been Lisa’s client for over a year now.  I first met her at an informal talk of hers put on by some endurance riders here in the foothills a year ago in June.  I ordered my first bag of herbal blend at that talk.  I got going right away on feeding Rambo and two other of my horses with the vegetables, fruit, wheat grass and various other ingredients prescribed by Lisa.  I was eager to try something new for my horses, and especially Rambo.  Lisa said Ringbone, Navicular, and other such diseases were easy!  I had hope, energy, and excitement.  What can I say; my back was against the wall.  All I could look forward to was limited riding at the best.  I didn’t want that. I didn’t give up hope. 

I had little success that previous year with the Grand Meadow products, Lubrisyn, and special but frequent shoeing with wedge shoes; very disheartening.

Now, after several bags of custom herbal blend, vegetables, fruits, herbal oil, remote meditative Rahseaka healing, several liver and joint cleanses later, I’m back to riding Rambo again.  What Joy!

Happy Horse! …cause that’s what it is all about, it’s about the horse himself.

 

 Kim and Rambo in June, 2009

 

A couple of weeks ago, I helped my friend sort her cows.  Bells were going on them for summer pasture up in the Sierra Nevadas. My friend and three other women, trailered up our horses to the cowcamp to meet the cow truck.  That next morning we rode to check on the herd in the first upper meadow.  To do so, we had to ride around some boggy ground and lots of willows, fallen trees and brush.  That entailed a rough trail over cobbled, rock strewn riverbed area with multiple crossings including one belly deep in the headwaters of the Yuba River. Rambo was barefoot.  No Problems.  We finished up jogging back into camp, unsaddled and turned them all out loose in the meadow.  Now, that’s results!”
