Hi and a warm heart first welcome to my blog!

I live and work in Luxor, Egypt, helping the hard working Horses
& Donkeys using Holistic Therapies. I also give practical help such
as padding over rusty chain straps on bridles, these tend to weaken
the skin and eventually cut into the Animals Noses causing painful and
infected wounds.


At ace-egypt.org.uk a local Animal hospital I am a volunteer using my skills
in Holistic Therapies to give Animals help with their health issues.



When I go out and about around Luxor, it is easy to see plenty of Horses &
Donkeys pulling carts over-laden with Building materials, Furniture, well almost
anything that is traded. Animals are the main form of transport here. Horses are also
worked as carriage Animals, pulling carriages also known as caleches, tourists use them to travel
around the many tourist sites and the town of Luxor.



Many of the Animals have wounds, some will receive care and medical attention at the
new Animals hospital http://www.ace-egypt.org.uk/, others may get to see the Vets at The Brooke Horse hospital, some receive treatment at the Ferry port where the vets regularly attend any Animal that turns up.

Others need care on the spot, minor wounds neglected quickly become large ones. Ill fitting or
chain or wire saddlery and bridles need padding to prevent injury.

Mostly in the evenings around Luxor I carry a small kit of Aloe Gel, Spray Aloe for minor wounds & ace-egypt donate cotton wool and bandages to pad Bridles and Saddles and harnesses.

During the daytimes, I support Animals at ace offering Essential Oils, Herbs and Touch techniques. All of the Animals are able to make their needs clearly known & they receive whatever they need to soothe and balance their recovery.

Vets at Ace use Aloe Vera as gel and spray to help treat deep wounds and
This is all possible with support from helpful UK companies who donate products, A huge

Thanks to Jo Adams at http://www.next2nature.co.uk/ without her, none of this could have
happened. Jo supplies products made from the best organic Aloe Vera on the Planet.
I used the products for almost 10yrs in the UK & for the past year in Egypt, many Animals
with horrific burns and wounds have benefited from her marvellous Organic Aloe gel.
