Isn't he lovely? All of these are from photographs taken in an indoor school and then digitally painted (no I don't use a filter button in Photoshop!)

Paintings depend on the size you want, and how long it takes me to paint it plus how you want it finished, ie a canvas wrap, watercolour paper, and the type of frame chosen.

Weddings, Portraits, Pets. Mobile service. Photographs onto canvas....

I need to update my email address with you which is now equushealthwales@tiscali.co.uk - think you have probably still got dryfast or Yellow Pages!!!
Are you in a position for me to promote my couple of busines ventures on the blog? Probably going into hiring trailers and paddock cleaners in the Spring, but really to a limited audience of local club members, so we know where they are going and to whom.
I have also bought the franchise to cover Wales for Equus Health - specialising in wholesaling natural products to the retail market.
Very well established across England but I have now got the challenge of covering Wales. If you want to see more about us http://www.equushealth.org.uk/.

Would be good if I could write an article and get it on the blog. (I'm still waiting for said article....!)

I have got product into several local retailers, Nicholls Crickhowell, R.M. Jones Abergavenny, Alreds Ponthir, Caths Trelewis and others in South Wales which are selling well. We specialise in mainstream straight herbs but also source the more unusual and offer local and national advice lines for suggested uses of the products which are all tried, tested and approved. Homeopathics are another side to our business. Would like to promote the advice lines so that people can find out more.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Ros Price (was Hughes) - Congratulations Mrs Price!

Hi there

I hope you/your colleagues have enjoyed the sample I sent you of Stop-it-All .

For your Winter issues (mud-fever, rain-scald, open sores, hair loss & even late flies) do you have enough product to test it for any impending articles or would you like some more? With a Mud-fever success rate during our Trial of well over 90%, and in conjunction with it being 100% Natural, might it be of interest to your readers? And as an added bonus, with it's amazing success rate for deterring flies and for sweet itch, many owners claim it's a genuine 'all year round' essential bottle for their medicine cabinet.


I've tried everything for my mare's sweet itch and now I have a healthy scepticism for products that appear to offer a 'miracle cure'! But since I've tried Stop-It-All, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT – I am truly shocked. She's STOPPED scratching in just 4 days, & best of all my horses can still mutually groom each other as it's non-chemical. Now when I go to see her I am greeted with a nuzzle & kiss instead of a rubbed-raw bottom for yet more scratching – which is nice! Am going to use it on the child's head lice now! J I would HIGHLY recommend this product.
Sam Mignano. Natural Horse People. www.naturalhorsepeople.com; Severe sweet itch

"REMARKABLE doesn't do this product justice. My whole yard (c 20 of us) now use it for any/everything from mud-fever, rain-scald, midges, sweet-itch, open wounds, sores etc,. We've yet to find anything that it doesn't work on! And you should see the flies back away from any area where it's applied. And I've put it on my 'crusty gardener's hands' and even my friends agree they cannot recognise my now beautifully soft hands from the ones I've had for years! SENSATIONAL. How can one product do so much good?!”
Mrs LC, Avon; Mud-Fever, sweet-itch, open wounds, deterring flies
I hope to hear from you.

Many thanks

Hi - I am sending this to all and sundry to show you that Bowen Therapy is not just a wacky quacky sort of therapy and that even nice solid people like NHS physiotherapists recognise its strange and wonderful workings! See also the recent article in The Times Body & Soul supplement (Sat Jan 22) which reported on the scientific findings as to Bowen's efficacy regarding frozen shoulder. This from one aforementioned NHS physio (ex! cos she's gone private!):- 'I am a physio and I did the training in 96 and have used Bowen ever since in an NHS setting!! Without a doubt, it turned my practice upside down, I was getting such wonderfulresults, and not only with pain relief, which is what our patients came to us for; but also the 'feel good factor'. I have done many other trainings and courses, but it was after Bowen that patients came back and said "I feel so well inside" or similar, that I just did it more and more. As well as a faster and more complete response rate for their problem. In the end, virtually all my referrals were coming from my colleagues. Patients would have physio, and if it did not help colleagues would ask them if they wanted to see me (for Bowen) Of this I was gettiing over 90% success rate.Chronic pain mostly, ME, fibromyaligis - all the 'no hopers' with complex problems that our 'specialist' or fragmented NHS service did not have an answer for! I was working in outpatients, but occasionally did the odd stroke on the ward. And quite a few of the staff!! It was such satisfying work, the down side being that patients would go back to their GP and ask for Bowen for their spouses and family, which did not go down too well with our waiting list!! Sadly, a new manager saw 'complementary therapies' as quackery, and she stopped me practising Bowen (and everyone doing acupuncture, if you can believe that!). I had quite a hard time of it, and eventually left and am now in Private work. The other thing to get across is that with Bowen your remit for 'conditions' is endless and I am now getting a wonderful variety of clients - much more interesting that the normal physio problems. Once you go down a holistic path, there's no turning back!! My assesments are very different now with a holistic focus, and I cannot seperate mind and emotions from physical symptoms on the whole. How on earth my colleagues can be a 'knee ' specialist and not look at the TMJ, pelvis, emotions, bowels etc etc I cannot understand now!! (Incidentally I often get their patients coming to me privately, when the 'specialist' treament doen't help)Bowen is about healing - getting to the cause, and not just treating symptoms. This for me is the main difference between Bowen and physio. Both have their place, fo course, but for me Bowen is much more satisfying. Finally, it is so cost effective! It still amazes me that for this reason alone, my bosses did not want to know more about it.'
