As you can tell – we love Riva’s Remedies & Marijke van de Water! The work she does is amazing and she is an overflowing resource for healing horses naturally or looking at untraditional ways to improve the quality of our equine friends.

A great testimonial….

“After being told my horse Silver had Degenerate Suspensory Ligaments Disease, known as DSLD and couldn’t be ridden anymore I was told to just put him out to pasture and give him medications when needed. I was devastated! 

Then I heard about Marijke from Riva’s Remedies through a friend as well as the osteopath and after having so many different diagnoses regarding his condition I decided to contact her. I explained to her that Silver was very unhappy as he was no longer rideable, he had trouble moving off after laying down for a period of time and his breathing was heavy at times. So I talked to Marijke and sent her a video. In a few days she contacted me with a new health program. She identified the problem as neurological caused by a toxic level of arsenic.She also said his protein levels were too low affecting the strength of his muscles, tendons and ligaments. 

Silver was started on Equi-Cleanse, Vitamin C and homeopathic phosphorus. Within two weeks he started to improve. I was amazed at how much more alert he was, how much better he was moving and how his breathing had improved.
Today, Silver is off all of his supplements and is doing great. We are doing clinics with Josh Nicol who is showing me how to work all of his positive muscles so I can ride him this summer. Great stuff!

A big Thank You to Marijke and her staff for all you’ve done and for getting the supplements to me so promptly. Keep up the good work…and Marijke, you truly do have a gift for healing horses.”
