Our 10-year-old Quarter Horse, Pedro, fell seriously ill after wildfire smoke exposure. This is his story of how essential oils aided his recovery.

We went through a huge wildfire and were under evacuation in certain areas. During that time, we are inundated with smoke. We evacuated our horses for a couple of days to give them some reprieve from the smoke.

A couple of days after returning, Pedro's temperature spiked above normal. He stopped eating, and he had a snotty nose and signs of respiratory distress. I immediately applied peppermint and copaiba oils, and his temperature lowered.

The next day, I performed an Aromatouch session using a variety of oils, including Breathe blend, Oregano, and Marjoram. Pedro's condition improved rapidly. By the third day, his temperature had returned to normal, his appetite had returned, and his respiratory symptoms had significantly improved.

I created a respiratory blend to continue to support his recovery and applied it twice daily. Within a week, Pedro was well enough for a short ride.

His quick and effective response to essential oils was remarkable. They played a crucial role in Pedro's recovery.
