On Friday May 1st, 2009, my little horse Freddy found some buried wire and skinned his back leg to the bone.

The local vet was called and they arrived after a wait to stitch what they could back on.

On Saturday morning, Freddy was started on a herbal treatment consisting of crushed linseed, millet, tendon and bone mix and dressings using nothing but pure raw honey direct from the hive.

Around the end of June, he began cantering around and hopping on and off banks with no apparent problem.

The healing power of herbs is amazing.
