“My testimonial is a little different as I don’t have a horse suffering with CPL, however I am an equine vet (15 years and counting!) and since discovering this group, I direct all of my clients with horses with any/all aspects of this disease to this group. It is invaluable for providing clear, evidence based, practical advice for the long term management of CPL/CPPD. I also recommend it to all of our vets to further their knowledge and enable them to provide best advice to our clients. I hope this isn’t offensive but very often I find that Facebook groups can be a little “dangerous” in terms of scaremongering and spreading false information, however this group is the complete opposite. It has also transformed my approach to treating feather mites, in the majority of cases with astonishingly good results! Bravo, and please keep up the good work. I hope you take comfort and pride in knowing that your work is highly respected and is being shared by professionals.”
