Ferrell Hollow Farm

Calendula Special *2 days only!*

For 2 days only, when you order a Calendula Balm, you will receive a FREE sample of our NEW Calendula Cream, soon to be debuted!  If you have sensitive skin or require fragrance free products, this one is for you!  This offer lasts thru midnight Tuesday April 10th, 2012!  All proceeds from the sales help us care for the special needs horses we have adopted and retired at Ferrell Hollow Farm!  Our vet is coming this week for x-rays of 3 of the drafts feet and hocks, and to assess our mare with hoof canker.

Ferrell Hollow Farm’s Calendula Balm is very beneficial for healing wounds, soothing dry, cracked or chapped skin in both people and animals and taking the sting out of bug bites!  It has a very mild, natural scent with no essential oils added, making it exactly what those with sensitive skin need.

Cindy Daigre, owner of Ferrell Hollow Farm’s Equine Senior Retirement Farm, is continually inspired by the beauty of the gardens she lovingly cares for and regularly creates unique herbal blends based on the plants surrounding her home. As with all of our products, only cruelty-free ingredients are used.

A Day at Ferrell Hollow Farm

Saturday March 17, 2012

One woman, 10 horses, 8 cats, 2 dogs and 2 goats.  It just took 2.5 hours to care for all of them.  So?  The horses are spread over 6 pasture/paddock locations.  The cats are in 4 different areas.  Every horse receives a bucket meal with necessary supplements, and then enough hay until the evening meal comes around.  Poop is scooped or sprinkled with DE to deter breeding flies.  Nets and buckets are prepared for the next meal.  Everyone is checked over.  Yesterday we had a colicky horse related to ulcers.  This morning that is better. Whew!  A draft has active laminitis.  Another draft comes up lame and is blowing out an abcess.  If you've never worked with drafts, they are quite large and every thing is exaggerated with them.  The mare with hoof canker has a foot that is separating.  The gelding with the stifle injury is not quite as comfortable as he was a week ago.  The 2 Cushing's horses are way too hairy for our unseasonable 80 degree weather.

While this work load may not seem like much to some, realize that I am operating on less than 100%, still rehabbing from ACL reconstructive surgery 9 weeks ago, with continued physical therapy for at least another 2 weeks.

What does the rest of the day hold for this lady?  My house needs to be cleaned.  My farm house also needs to be cleaned-baths, kitchen, appliances, laundry room and windows cleaned before showing to prospective new tenants on Monday.

The laminitic horse needs a watchful eye and increased care, and the abscessed foot also needs more attention.  It is a 7 day a week job with long hours.  A labor of love.

If you would like me to work with you on getting your horse healthy thru a consult, but don't want to pay for it, don't ask.  If you would like me to board your senior, retired, special needs horse for less than my monthly boarding rate, I can't.  If you do however, see the value in these things, please contact me, as I would love to work with you and your horse(s).  This is how I make my living.  This is how I can take in special needs horses that need this level of care and pay for their upkeep myself.  It is not easy work.  It is a true labor of love.  These horses need me and I need them.  They are here to teach me things and I remain open to listening to them.

Please visit my website for more information and support our passion if you can, or share with others--thank you! Cindy Daigre

Calendula

From spring to fall, calendula flowers show their cheery yellow or orange faces, opening during the day and closing up at night.  It grows very well in pots and loves the sun.  I harvest them for all of their growing season and dry them on screens.  Calendula has some pretty amazing skin healing properties.  When applied topically, it quickly soothes cuts and wounds and moisturizes dry, itchy, chapped or cracked skin! 

It is versatile enough to be used on both people and animals.  When working with horses, the petals can be added to their feed or given as a tea.  It is very useful for animals with dry, itchy skin.  A balm can be made and applied to any scrapes or wounds.  The dried flowers are infused in a carrier oil, which becomes the base for making a balm.

Ferrell Hollow Farm has a very healing Calendula Balm available at http://www.ferrellhollowfarm.net/Store.html

Natural Body Scrub Gift Set

Ferrell Hollow Farm has an all natural Body Scrub Gift Set available which includes: Lavender Body Scrub and Peppermint Foot Scrub!

Dead sea salt has detoxifying and muscle relaxing properties, while the sweet almond oil moisurizes skin, leaving it very soft. The Lavender Body Scrub reduces stress and uplifts the mood, and the Peppermint Foot Scrub refreshes and cools tired feet.

Calendula Balm

I've recently found yet another use for Ferrell Hollow Farm's Calendula Balm!  It repels flies from sores on horses, while promoting healing!  Calendula flowers are infused into oil for a period of time, which then becomes a primary ingredient for making the balm.  Calendula is widely known as a healer for many skin conditions and can be used on humans and animals.  This is definitely a product to consider for your first aid kit!
