Hi Carol, Photos of different stages of the wound to the back of my horse Chesters' off fore knee area. It is looking smaller and smaller and the flap of skin is only a slight lump now - it looks as thought the scarring will be quite minimal, a good result to my relatively inexperienced eye. Chester was having the Calendula petals you recommended in his feed and I also made a tea with them and washed it down with that twice a day. I'm so pleased with the result, he has healed far better than what I had expected. Thank you so much for your help, advice and excellent quality product. Cheers, Amy |

I would like to thank you for recommending Attitude Blend for my for gelding. I was so upset at his stallion like behaviour that I thought I was going to have to live with it forever. Attitude Blend every day and the restriction of clover in his diet have turned him into a sweet gelding. Amazingly he no longer mounts the mares he lives with when they are in season. Thank you again and I would recommend it to anyone. Vanessa and Echo in Tasmania

I just wanted to let you
know what a fantastic result I have had with Attitude
Blend and the difference I have seen in my horse
within two weeks of starting him on it once a day. He is
a warmblood but still quite immature at 7 y/o and has
been through fairly traumatic sugery twice since January
2008 to remove tumours/cysts from his sinus cavity
leaving him with a few trust and other issues . He is
also a total busy body and much more interested in what
everyone else is doing but yet the first to "leave town"
if he gets a fright! I took him out on Sunday for the
first time in months and he was unbelievably calm and
attentive all day. I can honestly say it was the first
time I have thoroughly enjoyed riding a dressage test on
him and actually had fun being out.
Thanks for a great product, Liz Inder & Felix

Hi Everyone at Techyflex, This is just a short note to thank you for your great product, my son’s show jumper started on this about 4 weeks ago and we cannot believe the difference, this horse was struggling with my very tall and solid built son to the point we nearly sold him. Well over the weekend he jumped 4 rounds up to 1.30m without one rail pulled. His last time at that height he knocked every second rail at a very big event. Also Country Park Herbs supplied this product in the quickest and most efficient manner and were perfect to deal with. We can’t thank you enough. If you ever want to sponsor a rider that truly believes in your product just ring me LOL Kind regards Kelly and Tyson King - Sydney, Australia

Hi Carol, I have just finished an event with my horse, we arrived home and have started using the Forest Farmacy Products with the most amazing results for both my horse and myself. I cannot believe just how fantastic this product is, my horses appearance is great with the herbs I feed him but this is maximized now, he looks and feels fantastic, also when using the products they have in no way irritated my horse or myself I am normally driven mad with burning, itching skin after shampooing him with my previous horse shampoo, my hands feel great after I have washed my horse. I am sure you have had some wonderful feed back on these products, I have recommended them to all my friends. I am 100 % pleased. Many thanks Karen Drage

Hi Carol My name is Pauline Goodwin. I ordered 15kg of rosehips and some sarcoid gel from you a little while ago. Just a note to say that the sarcoid cream has completely removed my horses sarcoids. he had three or four on one white foot and the same on the other just above the hoof wall. Two were fairly large as had been knocked during an endurance ride. I started the gel a couple of weeks before my ride, and then a few days before the ride I stopped as they were looking quite black and yucky. However after a couple of days I could see that they were slowly breaking down and disappearing. The only ones left were the two larger ones. After the endurance ride I then applied the gel again to those and after a few days they also disappeared. This is a fantastic out-come as the vet was not sure how successful he would be removing them and also I would have been risking spreading them. Thank you for a great product. Regards Pauline

My 14 year old Labrador x Border Collie was born with bone defects in both knees. In 2007 Tessy became chronically lame, not being able to put her leg to the ground. This of course was mentally and physically stressful for her. She was diagnosed with severe arthritis of both knee joints and the prognosis was not good. After being on the Techniflex Canine for two days she was able to put her foot to the ground again. She now receives this daily and has her quality of life back again. I also feed a natural diet of meat(mostly chicken) and Vets All Natural Complete Mix. I highly recommend Techniflex for any joint problems your dog may have. Carol Dawson

.... Also I was wanting to tell you that the Sarcoid Gel that I purchased in my last order is fantastic. My husband’s quarter horse mare had a sarcoid on her side just where the girth sits and it was rubbing badly when under saddle. We used the gel morning and night for about 3 weeks and the sarcoid disappeared. It was a great result without having to get the vet out and operating on her. Thanks very much for stocking such a great product!! Bridget Connelly Gympie, Qld

My story begins just before Christmas 2003 when we were fortunate to be given the opportunity to rescue one of a number of racehorses left in a paddock on the Gold Coast. There was no feed, and the neighbours on either side had been throwing hay to them. It was a very hurried operation – we had two days to organise otherwise the horses that were left would be sent to the ‘glue factory’. Fortunately all found homes. A horse was kept aside for us and we went to see him that day, taking some wormer with us. What a sight! He was a very skinny 16.2hh thoroughbred with a gash on his hind leg, with all of his legs being sore and swollen. He was so skinny that when it rained the water sat in the dips in his rump and along his rib cage so consequently after rain and humid weather over a long period of time, he had a very bad case of rain scald. Everywhere was tender to touch. We named him Angus and took him home. I became interested in natural feeding about two or so years ago to sort out a behaviour problem with our other thoroughbred, and at which time I contacted Ruth at Country Park Qld about her natural supplements. I was really keen to introduce Angus to it also, knowing that it would be the best for him. On the first day Angus could only just cope with hay, but was obviously looking for more, and after two days, we were able to introduce chaff with a selection of herbs. I contacted Ruth after the first couple of days and she was able to give me a blend for Angus which would assist his skin and coat for the rain scald and also his general well being. Well, after only about 5 days, there was a marked improvement. We then introduced some barley/millet/linseed porridge in conjunction with the herbs and he just bloomed. The skin on his back grew hair quickly and his coat was shiny almost straight away. His energy increased and after only three weeks you would not know it was the same horse. Ruth has always been very helpful and I am grateful to her for her assistance always. It is easy to keep in contact with her, we email each other and keep in touch with any ideas, and I am lucky enough to live close by to collect my order when convenient for me. The quality and price is always the best, there is no comparison when you see what the local produce sells and how they sell it! I recommend Country Park to anyone I can and my other horses always get comments about their fabulous condition. I most certainly recommend the Summer Blend as being fabulous for the skin and coat condition, with Angus being the absolute proof.
Thanks Ruth Dear Carol
I am just writing to let you know that I am absolutely thrilled with your
new Appetiser Blend.
Not only have I added it to his feed when introducing
a new herb I’ve also found that after worming he is more than happy
to eat it by the handful. This not only helps
to get rid of
the
taste but it also ensures that any worm paste he is holding in his mouth
is swallowed.
I am looking forward to when the Appetiser
Blend will be available for sale.
Helen Nicolaou Dear Carol
Just a quick note to let you know how impressed we are with the results we have obtained from feeding our horses Country Park herbs. When our reining horse developed sore kidneys, we decided to try a more natural diet for him…not only has his back soreness gone, but he is noticeably calmer and happier with everyday riding and handling. Now we are feeding herbs to all our horses! Our show horses love your Summer Blend, even our fussiest eater will eat the mix from our hand…their coats look terrific, they have healthier hooves, and they are so much calmer at shows. The quality of your herbs is always excellent, and we appreciate the promptness with which they are always available. All the best Wayne & Gill Tangey Trubinda Quarter Horses - photo Fade To Grey & Gill Tangey, taken by Karalinga Photography.
about Attitude…
“Hilton” 7 years, Showjumper.
Description:
Stressed and Dangerous.
Aversion tactics, sideways at 100 m.p.h.
with no regard for other horses, humans or obstacles.
Unable to stand still either being ridden or held.
Unable to be ridden away from work or show arena (jump off quickly
when finished and lead away) and if you saw trotters, bale out a.s.a.p.
In other words he was a danger to himself and humans.
That was until he went onto Country Park
Attitude Blend.
Maitland show 2004 “Hilton had only been on Attitude Blend
for 4 days prior to the show.
Everybody who knew him could not believe it was the same horse.
Neither could we.!!
He actually walked from the arena on a loose rein(ridden) and stood
quietly on the side. What an
amazing result. He is a
completely different horse now and all thanks to Attitude Blend from
Country Park.

Winter Blend I am the owner of a 22-year-old thoroughbred long since retired from competition but still in light work. I was wanting to keep him as healthy as possible particularly during the colder months so I contacted Country Park Animal Herbs. They suggested a product called their Winter Blend. Since using this product I have noticed that he is moving with greater freedom and seems much happier when being worked. He eats the blend straight from my hand or I can mix it in his feed. The quality of their herbs is always fantastic and the service is great. William Johnston A.C.T In mid April I emailed Ruth at Country Park, Qld with a couple of questions concerning my two thoroughbred horses aged 9 and 12. Every Winter they seemed to get colds and coughs and I was wanting to know if there was anything that would give them some sort of ‘protection’ or help them get through the winter without the usual illnesses. Ruth explained to me the benefits of a natural diet in the prevention of illness, and also that CP were trialling different blends, and that they had an Autumn blend designed for just such a purpose as what I was seeking for my two lovely boys. I began a feeding regime which included garlic, rosehips, cold pressed linseed oil and other products, and also the Autumn Blend. It is quite remarkable now, just a few months down the track, to see how healthy and ‘gleaming’ they both are. As yet, touch wood, no coughs, no runny noses, just two gorgeous boys. I really want to thank CP for their Autumn Blend, as I truly believe it is working a treat on my horses – along with the natural diet. Congratulations on launching the blends, and every success to you. Elizabeth Mungomery Longreach area, QLD In January this year I called out to Ruth’s home to collect my usual monthly herbs. I mentioned to Ruth that my 2 year old chestnut gelding was having problems with the walls of his hooves breaking down. Ruth mentioned that CP were trialling new blends and that one of these – the Spring Blend – might be of benefit to him and that we didn’t have anything to lose and much to gain. I immediately started him on the blend and a few weeks into it, his hooves starting growing down and he was becoming so much more sound. My farrier would say to me, “whatever you are doing , keep doing it, because the change is quite remarkable”. Well, what a difference a few months make. He has gone from not being able to have shoes on, to having glue-on shoes and then finally being able to be fully shod. At the National Quarterhorse Championships in Tamworth in May, he won Reserve Grand National Champion, and at the Queensland State Championships held at Gatton in June, he took out Grand Champion for Queensland. I cannot thank Country Park enough for this blend. I always get complimented on my horses condition when I travel to shows and I continually tell people that my horses are on herbs from Country Park. I do wish you the very best of luck with the introduction of your Blends, they will be a wonderful addition to your already superb quality products. ROSIE WEBB (Nerang, Qld) |

Hi Carol, I'm just writing to say thankyou to you and your friendly staff for your awesome service and advice! My horse Texas is a 20 yr old tb gelding and coming out of this winter he had dropped a lot of weight and his coat was dead, things where further complicated by the fact that he is losing his sight and nearly blind. He was completely off his feed and I thought we would lose him but after some advice from you and starting him on your appetiser and summer blends the difference is amazing! He is fat and shiny and runs around like a 2 yr old again, people who met him are amazed at how well he looks and cant believe he is about to turn 21! I give you my heartfelt thanks I believe that without your expert advice and products Texas would not be with us today. yours truly Tamsin McInerney. |

Hi Catherine, I just wanted to give you an update on my mare and thank you for your advice. We have had great success with leaving the Attitude Belnd dose the same and increasing the chastetree to 2 tbsps a day. My mare is no longer biting at her sides on her ratty days and appears much more comfortable physically and thankfully emotionally. Thank you again for your advice. It was much appreciated and successful. regards Debra Grose Vale, NSW
A quick note to let you know how impressed I am with the CP Attitude blend, what a difference it has made with my 8yo Chestnut T/B Mare. The day she was born she was off doing her own thing, she is as bold as brass but so sensitive to ride & handle. Her unpredictable behavior was making training difficult and her spring time behavior has been getting more unbearable every year. Since starting her on CP Attitude blend in August she has become far less sensitive to my aids, much less tense when ridden, arguments are now few and far between, in-fact her training has come on in leaps and bounds. There's barely any squealing & striking at the other horses in th stables or laneway, and no ears back & teeth barred at feed-time. Sh appears much more relaxed, content and happier with life. I'm now looking forward to going out to competitions (when they start up again!) Thank you so much for this wonderful product. Cheers, Melinda Wallan, VIC Photo: Melinda’s horse taken in August “she had been on the blend for 1wk and already she was far less tense, more submissive & barely sweating”. |

| Exciting reviews on Mobicosa for us humans... | |
|
I am having great results with Mobicosa for
myself. I have just cancelled my specialist appointment as I dont have any pain to report to him, so felt abit stupid going to see him. Last time I saw him was 2003 when he did an arthoscope on my knee. His prognosis was that I would be a good candidate for a knee replacement in about 6 months time. I had been on glucosamine since then, but my knee began to cause me alot of pain recently. I went to my doctor who put me onto the anti- inflammatries (sp?) which helped for about a month then the pain began to return. I started taking Mobicosa and found the pain went in exactly 10 days from when I started taking them. I then stopped taking the anti-inflams and the pain has not returned at all. YAY! I am now more confident of getting back into the saddle after a long break. Cheers, Terry Quick -1 November 2007 I am 68 years old and a very keen tennis player, having played A Grade most of my life. A few years ago I started to have knee problems (probably a combination of age, farm life, too many years in the saddle and my tennis) and felt I would have to stop playing. I started using Glucosamine Sulphate and my knees did improve but I found I had to use knee straps as well for support and they still ached after a hard workout. At my daughter, Charmaine’s, insistence I purchased two bottles from Country Park Animal Herbs and started on Mobicosa capsules about 6 weeks ago. The improvement has been amazing. I no longer use the straps and can run freely again, with no aching knees anymore. I have been recommending Mobicosa to all my tennis friends and would highly recommend Mobicosa to everyone. And thank you to Carol and the team at Country Park Animal Herbs. Des Daniel Port Macquarie, NSW 28 November 2007 Just a quick one from Charmaine. The thought of my Dad giving up tennis scared me. He was considering going to play bowls and while I know this is a good sport I just can’t see him enjoying it as much. Dad has been playing tennis all my life and he enjoys the competition and the social side of things. He has travelled around Australia with mum and the Veteran’s tennis group playing anywhere they are invited and some places I am sure they are not. He also recently travelled to New Zealand with the group and played a few games against some New Zealand Veteran teams. Dad says I insisted on him trying Mobicosa and I did. I also made him promise to take the loading dose as suggested for 10 days before coming back to the maintenance level. The feedback from Dad has been great. He noticed a difference within two weeks and for him to be able to remove the knee straps is fantastic. It has given him a new lease on the tennis court – look out competition. The biggest thing for me was the fact that Dad was so willing to start the Mobicosa and then to continue on the capsules. I always thought he was of ‘the old school’ where you don’t worry about those sorts of things. Maybe I am wrong or maybe Dad has realised he doesn’t have to put up with the pain. Perhaps if he had been on Mobicosa earlier his knees wouldn’t have given him such grief and he might still want to ride with me, but he has been too long out of the saddle now Charmaine Daniel Hi Carol I wanted to say thank you for the advice received last week. We live NW Sydney in what is now a purple zone for Equine Influenza, a few weeks ago nearby horses contracted the virus and on the evening Friday 14th Sept one of my horses had a temp 40.3C, he started coughing on the Saturday. My horses already get garlic and rosehips, so I doubled their rosehips and then rang Country Park first thing Monday morning (9.01am!). I was advised to give the Autumn Blend to help the immune system and Elecampane to help the respiratory system particularly the cough. The cough is awful, any exercise makes it worse, just walking across the paddock would set my gelding off. My herbs arrived on Tuesday. Wednesday 19th, my 27yr old mare started coughing, she'd trot up to the gate in her paddock and then cough 6 or 7 times. After 4 days of having the herbs I noticed a distinct improvement in both horses, on Tuesday 25th my old girl trotted right from the bottom of her paddock and demanded dinner with no coughing. I haven't heard a cough for the last 2 days, and they both seem much more comfortable. Looking forward to the end of our 50 days quarantine, not that I suppose we'll be going anywhere. Thanks again Megan |

Hi guys I thought I was doing well with my home arthritis blend, but
decided to try your Retirement Blend for my 32yr old QH with severe
arthritis. I have been using it now with Glucosomine and MSM for 2-3
months and have noticed a gradual but surprising improvement in her
freedom of movement and we can't hear her joints creaking.
Also during Winter her coat becomes very dull and unhealthy, but she
still has a great shine and silky feel to it heading into winter.
I also thought this might have been her last Winter but am so pleased with her improvement, think she may outlive me....... Thanks Karen (Victoria)

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for your product and herbal sample of rosehips. On comparing the glucosamine with what I have been purchasing, yours is far superior, no added fillers, totally different taste and look and works out so much cheaper. I am glad I found your site and ordered. Great service, prompt delivery and fabulous products, will become a regular. Thanks for the herbal booklet too, very informative and well written. Cheers, Paula

Hello Carol |
|
|
I have been ordering my herbs,
tissue salts and various veterinary products from Country Park
Animal Herbs for many years now. I have had excellent results
with our show and breeding horses with the assistance of
Catherine Birds telephone consultations. Your Country Parks
herbs are always professionally packaged and of excellent
quality. The selection is second to none and I have found the
pre-mixes to be both economical and work so much better than
many of the supplements on the produce stores shelves for double
the price. I once again can not thank Ruth and Carol enough for
their attention to detail which makes them one of the best
businesses I have ever dealt with. The complimentary information
sheets and complimentary herbs are icing on the cake. It never
ceases to delight me that such old fashioned customer service
still exists in todays world - whether I order online or over
the phone my order is at my mail box within 24 hours regardless
of living in a rural area. The discounted postage is an added
bonus which ensures that Country Park's products are both value
for money and of the best possible quality. The quality of the
Country Park products shines through in our horses excellent
health, wellbeing and temperaments.

I've religiously had my horse on a herbal blood cleansing regime and natural diet (lucerne/oaten chaff/soaked oats + herbs etc) for the past two and a half months (she had a terrible dry coat and bare patches - looked wormy, but wasn't) - and she is looking just terrific now! I can't believe the difference the herbs have made!
Thanks so much for your prompt
service....I've not run out of anything yet.....and I always
order at the last minute.... luckily I know I can always rely on
a prompt response when dealing with you at Country Park Herbs!
Cheers,

Dear
Country Park Herbs, 
Hi
Carol,
