Equine Raind
An easy, affordable way for owners
Does your horse ever get overly excited with trail-
ering, showing, riding in a new place, or having a
change in routine? Do you wish you had something
that would support focus and concentration that was
totally natural and actually worked? Have you ever
felt helpless watching your horse suffer with a diges-
tive issue such as colic or founder while you wait for
the vet to arrive? Would you love to have something
simple to use to support your horse through an inju-

Would you like to have a tool that you can use
without needing any special knowledge or certifi-

a chiropractor or a vet, or spend a lot of money, but
you achieve results that clearly show that your horse
is feeling great, working well, less stressed, and hap-
py with life?

coffin bone while running in the pasture last winter
and stepping wrong on a rock with her hind foot. I
found her in the pasture standing on 3 legs. My first
line of defense was to do a raindrop on her. I repeat-
ed the raindrop the next morning while waiting for
the vet to come and do a lameness exam. The initial
diagnosis of lameness was a suspected abcess be-
cause there was no inflammation, and the pain level
did not suggest a fracture. It was not until a few
weeks later that we had a radiograph done, confirm-

Bute, she never foundered in the good hind foot, she
never had any inflammation. She was on stall rest
for 6 weeks, and although she had never been stalled
for any extended period of time in her life before,
or separated from the herd she was raised with, she
handled her stall rest very quietly and amazed the
