There are many approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but the Five-Element approach is unique in that it includes the idea that each of us, animal or human, represents a “constitutional type,” exhibiting certain physical and emotional traits that are specific to that type. Viewing the individual from this perspective can also be applied to horses, thus facilitating a better understanding of any given horse's nature and needs. Madalyn Ward, DVM has created a variety of resources to help horse owners understand these personality types and provide for their individual needs.

Our Balancing Formulas are designed to help horses stay healthy and handle normal levels of stress. Balancing Formulas work well when the foundational nutritional program is solid and there are no current disease states.
If you are not certain about your foundational nutritional program or your horse has current health problems we suggest a veterinary
consult with Dr. Madalyn Ward to address these areas before you order a Balancing Formula.
