Summer’s Story

I have been a faithful supporter of EnerPrime since introduced to it in the spring of 2004, however I had not really considered the possible benefits for animals until the need arose to save a horse.    Leslie Routt (AKA—Mrs. Claus)

Screen Shot 2014-02-17 at 9.36.13 AMHi, My Name is Summer. I’m 950 lbs. of pure good looks. I’m a half Arab, half Quarter Horse, Palomino and I just turned 17 years old. For the past 12 years I have enjoyed participating in competitive endurance rides, teaching people to ride, and helping “special kids” as a Therapeutic Horse for kids with disabilities as well as having fun on trail rides. My owners Peggy, Emily & Mark have always taken very good care of me. In return I take care of them, especially Mark. Because of his disabili- ties, I have to make sure that he is safe.

Last August I wasn’t feeling good. I didn’t have much energy and I didn’t enjoy my job as a therapy horse. I didn’t want to eat or come out of my paddock. Peggy and some of the other “Reins In Motion” Therapy people could tell that something wasn’t right, but they weren’t sure what. They called my Veterinarian. I like my vet; some times I get to see him at the endurance rides checking the horses.

The next thing I knew, I was in a trailer going to U.C. Davis Veterinary Hospital. I was scared, because usually it’s the really sick horses that go to Davis. They put me in a padded cell, I mean stall, no I actually mean cell, while they ran tests. It turned out that my immune system was severally compromised and I was anemic. My red blood cell count was about 8% of normal and the vet was surprised that I was still alive. He immediately gave me steroids to boost my red cell count. Day two my count increased to about 15%, then day three back down to 9%. After 5 days they sent me home. For me to recover, if I was to recover at all, it would take at least a year.

Mrs. Claus, became aware of my situation and suggested I start taking EnerPrime. She even donated a bottle (thank you). Peggy wasn’t sure if it would work, so she called my Vet at U.C. Davis. He said, “Go ahead and give it to her, what do we have to loose.” What did he mean, “What do we have to loose?” Me! – did he forget?

Everyone was puzzled—they had never seen orange hoofs on a horse before! A little research revealed that my body was being detoxified by the EnerPrime. In a few weeks my hoofs were back to normal. 120 days later I was taken back to U.C. Davis where they took blood again to check my progress. The Vet was hoping for a blood count of about 25% of normal. To his amazement, it was off the charts at 80%! Take that Doc! He had never seen or even dreamed of such an improvement. The Vet wanted to know what Peggy was doing. She told him about the EnerPrime. The Vet wanted info on EnerPrime because of how well it worked.

After about 4 months I was out doing short trail rides, this makes me happy! Now I’m helping with the therapy kids again. Peggy was told it would take over a year to recover, if I would recover at all. What do Humans know. Now I take EnerPrime every day, and I feel great!

I have to go now, you see it’s Thursday, Woo hoo! That means we trail ride at Camp Arroyo. Us horses get to leave the center where we normally teach and give rides to kids with disabilities at a camp.

Oh, by the way my Foundation, “Reins in Motion”, put all the other horses and Peggy’s dog on EnerPrime. Pretty soon all the humans were also taking EnerPrime too. Horses can actually teach humans something, when we can get them to slow down and pay attention.

By now! Happy Trails……..

Summer is very intuitive and smart. She knows as soon as a rider sits on her back exactly how she should behave, whether it is to walk very slowly or adjust her body back and forth to help balance the rider.

Summer is amazing at reading the clients inner feelings and letting us instructors know what is going on from the inside out. One must be willing to listen to what she is saying. She needs her clothes fitting properly and is picky about her riding cues.
