Hi Carol,
I just wanted to give you an update on my mare Amber. Before I got the retirement blend off you Amber would pull up stiff and sometimes slightly lame due to having large windgalls in her hind legs and also mild arthritis in her front legs. Since going on the Retirement Blend she has been a different horse. She is much more relaxed and happy and it appears that she is not in pain anymore. We have recently done a few big rides in the bush that went for a few hours of hard riding and she pulled up fine, normally she would be stiff for a day or two and very grumpy.  I
am now getting her fit to do a 25km navigation ride in a month so
its lots of trotting and she pulls up fine every time and with
minimal swelling. She can even handle all day at riding club again,
with 2 1hr flat lessons and 1 jumping or games lesson and she is
fine. Normally at shows she is very stiff and unhappy and you have
to keep her constantly moving but at the last show she worked so
well and was so calm, so the retirement blend must be keeping her
warm inside.Thank you so much for supplying us with the Retirement Blend, it has given Amber years onto her life. I have attached a photo of her from our last show in June, she is a much happier fitter horse now than she ever has been. Again thank you and we will keep her on Retirement Blend for the rest of her life.
I have suggested this
blend to a few others and they have also noticed considerable
difference in their horses too.
kind regards Cindy Hynes and Amber 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

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. Ashley

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) Dear

I have been using the Country Park Retirement Blend for nearly two years after Carol recommended I give it a try for my tired old hack. Oliver had been sick on and off for some time and he was really starting to show his age - he was 26 at the time and had been used as a school horse for years before I bought him about twelve months previously. I was starting to think his time might be drawing to an end. Just a few weeks after I began using the retirement blend as part of his daily feed, I noticed a difference in his movement, attitude and general well-being, he was happier in himself and moving much more freely. I've never looked back - Oliver is now 28 years young and looks a million dollars (he's actually a little fat at the moment on a handful of feed and his herbs daily). I even sit on him occasionally and he doesn't seem to mind at all. Thank you Carol for Oliver's new lease on life and the extra time I'm having with him. From Trish & Oliver. |

The Attitude Formula has
been an amazing success for my two Rodeo horses. I only need to feed them
1/2 cup each-the night before & morning of competition. Both horses
are competing exceptionally well since they have been relaxed, THANKS to
the Formula. Bette |

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.
