Here is Aster the Mammoth Donkey's story:
Hi Spirit,
I have been talking with Sue alot lately and she always has good things to say about the herbals and I thought you may have something to help Aster?
Very long story so I will just make it short.
She has had very bad abcesses that we have been fighting since dec. She fianally ended up at OSU for 15 days after surgery. We have had her home for 2 weeks now. She basically has a hole in the front of hoof going all the way thru to sole, both golf ball sized holes. Drs say she will grow it all out but in the meantime I am worried about dead tissue etc. Already took her back to local vet on wed to clean out some ugly stuff. We keep her bandaged of course and are changing daily. Since the wound is so open I am afraid of putting anything on it besides iodine/betadine. I have her on biotin. Is there some miracle you may have???? to make our girl get better.
Hope all is well up your way,
Sunny Kudo
Hi Sunny,
I am so sorry to hear about Aster's feet! Ouch! Boy, donkey feet can sure pose some challenges. Has she always been prone to abscesses? I sure think I can help her, but as I always tell folks herbs work very very well, but aren't a quick fix or a miracle cure. It sounds like she needs some help healing from the inside out, and needs some additional supplementation for strong hooves. Hazel's feet are in super shape now, and she came prone to abscesses and had a hole in one of her fronts. Sue and Lori have been pretty happy with the hoof quality and fast growth that my coat, skin, and hoof formula has had on the donkeys and mules. The other issue for Aster would be a good lymphatic and immune support supplement to get her immune system boosted, and help her body deal with the stress and strain of healing itself. How is her weight? Has she ever foundered or had laminitis? Is she on daily bute? Do you want to keep her on bute or put her on herbal pain relievers? (much easier on the liver)
Let me know if you would like to order some supplements. I can custom blend the immune with lymph and that is $45, the Glow Coat is $30. (What color is Aster?) Shipping runs about $7.50 Priority. I can take Paypal or you can mail me a check if you would like.
I hope Aster is feeling better!
Best,
Spirit
Hi Spirit,
I would like for you to ship us more more and more, LOL !!! I don't know if I can claim the herbs are working or not? But I feel they are. Please send us more of the Immune and the Glow Coat for reds. Her foot has finally really started to look like it is healing. Here are most recent pics.
Please send me the cost and I will send check asap.
Thanks heaps,
Sunny
Lady Ambrosia was a elderly Thoroubred rescue with Cellulitis from an untreated case of sarcoptic mange she got at the feed lot. We treated her with lymphatic herbs and Sores No More salve. It made the rest of her days at Tired Dog Ranch more comfortable.
Happy Sunday, Spirit~
First of all, Lady Ambrosia is relishing her delicious herbal remedies and seems to really enjoy having her Sores be Gone rubbed on her legs. Thank you so much, dear woman. I honestly think her legs look so much better. I will take some photos so you can see and judge from your perspective. If anything, she adores the attention and seems grateful that her food still tastes good and that her legs truly seem to hurt less - if at all.
Bless you dear woman!

Hi Spirit,
I think I forgot to tell you the thing I most wanted to write in my last e-mail. Lady Ambrosia has NO flies around her, NO flies biting into her chest, NO flies on her belly - she is completely insect-free! Something in your herbal elixir (does an elixir have to be liquid?) is keeping her fly-free! This is miraculous, and you could be selling this EVERYWHERE! The chemicals are horrible and expensive (the kind of pour on that last either one or 14 days, like Top Spot or the more liquidy ones) and unless a horse loves being sprayed (like Lola Mae, my little cheerleader), nobody wants even SWAT put on them. I LOVE YOUR HERBS! Which one do you think it is? The skin and hoof one? Whatever it is, it's working like a dream ...
I just realized that is your first testimonial. Feel free to tweak it to be more concise and useable.
XOXOXO,
Amy Jo
From Lori Forge, Daystar Farms, Creswell OR. Lori trains Show mules and donkeys:
We began using the Glow Coat for Blacks and Bays and Glow Coat for Reds and Golds two summers ago. We had several horses and mules with dull coats, black horses that were bleached out red coats, washed out sorrels and chestnuts that were not golden. As coat quality is important to us, an indicator of good health, and the fact that we show, we were looking for something to add to our feed program that would be cost effective and work quickly and well. We noticed an immediate difference. We are dedicated customers!! We can even tell the difference when we look out in our 40 acre pasture and see who is on the coat supplement and who is not based on who shines from afar. Our sorrels and chestnuts gleam, our blacks are BLACK, not red, and our hirses,mules, and donkeys are dappled and shiny year round, even in their winter coats. Our equines' hooves are growing so fast and developing such nice thick walls we have really kept our farrier busy.
Two of our mammoth donkeys, Hazel, and Nova, had special issues. Hazel came with a huge hole in one of her front hoof walls. Her walls were thin, and you could peel hoof off with your finger. Her hooves are so much better we can ride her barefoot! Even on the gravel. Nova, our other donkey, came to us with cellulitis and lymphedema. Spirit created a special blend for her, and while the lymphedema will never go away, we can mange it well enough to improve her quality of life immensely. She can drive in a team with Hazel, and loves her job now that she is no longer permanently lame and in pain.
We can't say enough about the Sarcoid Support formula as well. We had a mule with huge cracking sarcoids. The vet removed the largest of the dozen. We then started using sarcoid support to boost his immune sysytem from the inside, and used the topical sarcoid lotion on the outside. His sarcoids have never come back. If we see a gray spot developing, we treat it with the sarcoid lotion, and put him back on the Sarcoid Support for a few weeks. It is much more cost effective than having them removed by the vet.
