Green Spectrums
11/11/2025
I came for me, but left with a CBD product for my beloved horse. She was badly injured some years ago, I thought we were on the road to recovery; but 7 veterinarians, a full spectrum of tests and treatments and modalities and it is clear now she will not recover. She lives in a herd, but I believe, with her gradually increasing discomfort, it costs her more in pain to defend her position in the hierarchy (she is the lead mare in the herd). And...I rescued her from a kill pen (yes, they slaughtered horses for meat). Horses never forget, and I believe she remembers another time when she couldn't work, and she wound up having the traumatic experience of being abandoned at an auction. So I believe fear it will happen again is also causing her distress, although I spend almost as much time with her as I did before. They offered me an oat bar treat infused with CBD to try; and the difference was heartwarming. After a loading dose of two bars, I gave her one almost every day; and she seems so much more comfortable and at ease. This good horse gave everything she had when she was right, she never said "no"; I am so happy I found a way to soften the edges in her declining years.
