When dry salt therapy and red light heat come together, they create a powerful natural detox and circulation boost for your horse.
๐จ Dry Salt Therapy works by helping clear the respiratory system, draw out impurities, and reduce inflammationโsupporting overall immune and lung health.
๐ก๏ธ Red Light Heat (Infrared Therapy) penetrates deep into the muscles and joints, increasing blood flow and stimulating cell repairโhelping muscles recover faster while promoting relaxation.
Together, this duo acts like a dry sauna for your horseโencouraging sweat, releasing toxins, improving circulation, and helping the body restore balance from the inside out.
Itโs a safe, drug-free, and holistic way to support your horseโs health and performance year round. ๐๐ช

If youโve got an easy keeper who doesnโt need more protein, and you want to avoid sugars that can cause inflammation or adding grain to the diet โ these Energy Enhancerยฎ patches are for you!
Applied right on the pectorals, they help increase circulation (youโll literally see the sweat and movement!) by using the horseโs own body heat, light, and energy to safely activate natural vitality.
These patches help engage the bodyโs natural energy field โ supporting the perfect balance of activity and recovery, so your horse can feel their best from the inside out.
Perfect for long trail rides, ranch work, all day shows, and more!

Curious about the loose salt weโve used and loved for years? Send us a message โ weโre happy to share!
Horses tend to drink less during colder weather, increasing the risk of dehydration and related issues. Make sure they stay hydrated!

Anyone who personally knows me will say that I am passionate about yoga and all the benefits that come with focusing on breathing. I am also madly in love with my horses. These two go hand in hand for me. In early 2019 my walker, Cash, developed a cough and some labored breathing. Not being satisfied with itโs โjust heaves,โ I hauled him to a clinic in Ohio for more testing. His cough (that didnโt sound right to me) turned out to be the result of a Dorsal Displacement of the Soft Palate. But he also had low grade heaves. I was heartbroken. We had just started conditioning for endurance rides and having a blast. He has always been my peppy and forward Tennessee Walker, and to see him miserable and breathing hard was devastating. I, at one time, considered selling him because I thought he was going to be too much horse for me to handle. His high energy and my high energy were like fuel on fire. I didnโt want to give up though. Thatโs when I started practicing yoga and learning how to breathe and channel my energy and emotions around him. The change was drastic! We have put on hundreds and hundreds of miles together. This past year, I told him once again, I would not give up on him and I would remain loyal to keeping him comfortable.
After countless nights of research, praying, and a personal experience with halotherapy, I decided this is what I wanted to do for Cash and horses from all over. This therapy is not just for horses with respiratory or skin conditions. It is for any horse to prevent infection and keep the lungs in optimal shape. My other walker, Sully, has sweet itch. He lives the summers covered head to hoof like many others. Using the micro-fine areosol mist of pharmaceutical grade salt on his skin takes down inflammation and helps to heal the open sores. Giving comfort and relief to horses and their owners who share my story is my ultimate goal; or if you just want to keep the respiratory hygiene of your athletes in tip - top shape. All horses deserve santosha, deep contentment and joy. Making space to live in the moment, to accept what comes, and to create a brand new story. Inhaling the positive and exhaling the negative!
I am teaming up Fancy Tale Essence, LLC. A spectacular line of custom made blends of aromatherapy. A product, Just Breathe, will be recommended to use in between your halotherapy treatments to aid in the process. Along with Just Breathe, there are many other combinations your horse may benefit from with a personal evaluation performed by Fancy Tale Essence owner, Patrica Ann Shay, EDA/NCNHC/Natural Equine Health. Fancy Tale Essence is a product using aromatherapy for horses. Energy healing is a holistic approach to help achieve emotional and physical soundness. Aromatherapy is used to give the horse a smell that invokes a feeling that encourages the horse to overcome many challenges. Seeking a holistic balance emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Let The Energy Flow...
A well performing horse needs emotional and physical balance. Untie the knots in the body AND mind.
