Using homeopathy, Dr. Wessner successfully treats EPM, Cushings, West Nile Virus, and more. He also has Nosodes available in lieu of vaccines for equine influenza, strangles, flu, rhino, etc., and Nosodes for cats and dogs for vaccinations against rabies, feline leukemia, etc. Dr. Wessner's fees for consultations and homeopathic remedies are reasonable and the results speak for themselves.

THE PET WHISPERER - Dr. Blake offers a monthly pet wellness news letter. When working with people and animals, Dr. Blake has always found that a smile and a dash of hope is as important as the actual treatment regiment prescribed by the doctor. These are two tools that we all have to give each other each and every day. I have been told by many of my clients time and time again "Thank you for giving us hope, Dr. Blake."

MADALYN WARD – As a holistic veterinarian Dr. Ward realize the need for an on-line veterinarian site for horse and mule owners to learn about such basic horse care issues as hoof care, horse supplements, equine nutrition and general health.

THERESA WAGNER- Theresa Wagner - Those of us fortunate enough to love and be loved by animals know the exquisite joy and quiet fulfillment that comes from animals living in our hearts. We know there is no turning back from loving animals intensely once we experience this bond. Animals and their love stay in our souls, once we've let them in. And we are better for it, more complete, more whole, more compassionate, and often transformed.

Loving this much, we also know the searing pain of losing them. And we know the frustration, overwhelm and compassion fatigue inherent in rescue and sheltering work, and from the awareness of the devastation of wildlife by human ignorance. Teresa is an animal communicator who can communicate with your deceased pet or animal.

He teaches us and the horse about developing trust and understanding, along with clear communication, not submission. This link is to the site that carrys his books, videos and tracks his schedule.

He's a 19th century man in a 21st century world, and his life is at once inspirational and instructive." -- Tom Brokaw

He has been an avid reader and student of some of the great horsemen of our time including Buck Brannaman, Paul Belasick, Ray Hunt, Mary Twelve Ponies, Tom and Bill Dorrance, and Nuno Oliveria. Jim is a student himself, a seeker of knowledge on horses and the wisdom they have to share with us!

RAY HUNT - Is the legendary "Natural Horseman" who along with Tom and Bill Dorrance, for the last three decades plus have been the true masters and stewards of Natural Horsemen Ship.

His many books are written in "first person" style and are a great read for anyone looking for a greater understanding of the inside of a horse!

HARRY WHITNEY – Harry Whitney prefers not to call himself a horse trainer. Instead, he’s simply someone who sees things from the horse's point of view - someone fluent in the language of horses. A perceptive, kind, and clear instructor, Harry is able to help folks understand their horses - not only for their benefit, but for the benefit of their horses. You would never know it by looking at his old high toppers and cowboy hat, but Harry holds an animal science degree from Kansas State University.
