Moody mare that turned the corner

Few horses demonstrate the benefit of Silver Lining Herbs better than The Trout, the failed racehorse the Summers happily admit was a complete nutcase when they bought her

Moody, nervous and totally unable to concentrate on any job in hand, the bay TB was also very difficult to keep weight on.

“We basically went through three years of hell with her” recalls Lyn. “Probably the turning point was at a local hunter trial. We scraped round in the pairs, then she walloped me in the face, I came off and she ended up on the road. I phoned Johnny and told his this mare’s going to kill someone, probably me.

“We turned to an iridologist to try and identify the problems. The mare was diagnosed with an inherited kidney weakness, which could have explained why she always ran out of steam in her racing days, and was probably in constant discomfort.”

“She was incapable of standing still for long and always rushed back into her box to urinate after exercise. We started her on kidney herbs and could see a difference within four days.We then supported her mind with relaxer tonics and hold her together now with special Silver Lining training mix.

Johnny, who only started riding in recent years, did three intro events and a pre novice with her.

With two dressage points also under her belt, The Trout is competing this summer with up and coming event rider Chloe Newton, highest placed young rider at Burghley 2005.
