Equine Breathing has been effective in case studies in helping chronic ailments such as sweet itch, hay fever, headshaking, cribbing, separation anxiety.  Please note Equine Breathing is not a substitute for veterinary advice.

Curyghan had severe hay fever with snorting every 10 seconds, nose rubbing and head shaking. He was unable to graze for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time.

Curyghan also had separation anxiety making him difficult to handle, poor hoof quality, a long term abscess and hated his ears being touched.

The red markers on the chart ->  show that the hay fever symptoms reduced in a few days (in the height of summer) and disappeared.

The separation anxiety and other symptoms also disappeared and the photo shows Curyghan now enjoying a relaxing ear massage.

1N is a gentle form of Equine Breathing. It may take longer than using a Equine Breather but case studies are showing that it is effective. Since its free to do and requires no special equipment or training its worth trying it to find out for yourself.

Head shaking trial

Jacky’s horse suffered from seasonal head shaking and sweet itch for the three years that Jacky has owned him. Various treatments failed to relieve the symptoms so Jacky decided to try Equine Breathing and started a 1N trial in March 06.

Her records show that through the period when the head shaking normally becomes “distressing” (scores of 4 and 5) Jack’s symptoms remained mild and at a level that caused no problems for him. In addition Jacky noticed an improvement in his stamina and fitness.

Jacky wrote "People ask – “if it is free, can it really be any good?”     YES it can and YES it is."

Jacky expects Jack to continue improving and has bought an Equine Breather.

How to participate in trials

Anyone who would like to help build up a body of experience and case study data on Equine Breathing can participate in trials. We hope the trials will encourage more people to help their horses by using Equine Breathing to help a wide range of problems.

Participation involves recording your horse's progress as you work with them and emailing the data to us for analysis, collation and publication.

The period of daily monitoring is usually one or two months. There is then a 6 month and 1 year report back on progress.

The trial can be on 1N or using the Equine or Grazing Breather 

For 1N trial participation simple email for a 1N trial pack before you start using 1N and then use the pack instructions and monitoring forms.

For Breather trials, purchase an Equine or Grazing  Breather and before you start using it, email for the Breather trial pack and use it to monitor progress.

Free loan of an Equine or Grazing Breather and free training are available in some cases. If your horse has moderate or severe symptoms that are currently active, and you wish to commit to a trial, email now to find out if you would be eligible for this option.

Some Equine Breathers

Brown  - the first Equine Breather

28 year old thoroughbred

Recovered from hay fever and head shaking, arthritis, rain scald, poor feet, recurrent chills, difficulty keeping condition, receding gums and separation anxiety.

Now is able to buck and bounces round the field with paces far exceeding any he has ever shown in the previous 10 years

Fine Gold - recovered from wind sucking

4 year old Fin had been wind sucking since she was 2 years old and spent half her time doing it. She used fences, ledges and even haynets. After  6 months of Equine Breathing she no longer wind sucks.. 

Here she is deeply relaxed while eating the hay rather than wind sucking. 

Cullud – enjoying an Equine Breathing session

Recovered from sweet itch (at least 10 years of it) which affected his whole body and made his skin bloody, raw and weeping. He is sporting his newly growing mane - he's not been able to grow one until now.

Sam  - 6 year old eventer

Sam had been lame for a year and the vet suggested; firing the leg, use of a cast for 4 months with box rest or having him put down. Sam came sound soon after starting Equine Breathing, was back in work 2 months later and competing with great success 6 months later being placed in his first class at his first show as seen here.

Sam had also been excessively anxious, unable to focus on the handler and had an extreme and dangerous cow phobia causing him to escape and bolt if taken anywhere near them. He is now able to go in close proximity to cows without losing his composure and is generally calm and attentive.

10 year old successful WHP show pony

Marinello started coughing in May 2004 and despite several vet visits with courses of antibiotics and other drugs, continued into the autumn. Owner Wendi then started using a Equine Breather and the coughing immediately decreased and disappeared. A vet declared him fully clear in January 05.

"I genuinely believe that the Equine Breather healed my pony, when medication was unable to help"  Wendi Noy

Marinello is now for sale so that his considerable potential can be used.       

Meg - 3 year old with chronic sweet itch

Meg's owner Debbie was considering putting her to sleep because the sweet itch was causing so much suffering. Meg had become dangerous to handle as a result of her distress.

After six weeks use of the Equine Breather Meg was itch free, her coat had grown back and she recovered her gentle disposition. 

4 year old Amy with 6 year old Shetland Buttons

Amy demonstrates that so long as you can reach their nostrils you can do 1N on any equine!

Buttons' promising show career is threatened by sweet itch. When Amy started 1N in February Buttons became "calmer, less bargey, more loving (eg coming to Amy in the field) and more energetic when exercised". We hope that come the spring Amy's daily 1N sessions will pay off and the sweet itch will reduce and disappear.
