Description

 

Our Raphael’s Custom Blend was specifically formulated for a colt of ours that was injured badly and needed to be on stall rest after surgery. I applied it to his forehead and nose morning and night to help him stay relaxed in the stall while his leg healed.  The blend of Lavender, Frankincense & Roman Chamomile not only moisturizes dry skin, but also soothe the senses and promote a calming effect as well as a good night’s sleep. 

Raphael’s Custom Blend is amazing for You, Your Horse & Your Dog!

• Apply on your chest, neck, ears before bedtime for a restful night sleep, to relieve anxiety & promote calmness. (Safe for children too.)

Lavender is known to reduce both physical and emotional signs of stress, lower blood pressure and heart rate, and increase feelings of relaxation, calmness and well being. In addition, Lavender is known for it’s antibacterial and skin-soothing properties.

It is also used to help fight depression and is beneficial for use during times of irritability, anger, fear or post-traumatic stress.

Raphael’s Story

Raphael’s blend was inspired by one of our foals, Raphael, who was born at our ranch,  May 2019, and sustained an injury as a foal. We believe he was stepped on and had a displaced joint in his lower leg and needed surgery. We drove 5 hours down to Turtle Valley Equine Hospital where Raphael underwent a 2 hour surgery. The bones were fused together with a metal plate and 5 screws. He came through surgery like a champ. Post-surgery we were instructed to keep him as calm as possible (anyone who has raised a foal knows this can be hard), so I mixed up a special Hand & Body Crème No. 07 Custom blend just for Raphael, that I applied to his forehead and nose morning and night to help keep him feeling relaxed and stay calm while on stall rest.  I used Lavender, Roman Chamomile & Frankincense. I love this blend and I do believe it really helped him get through 8 weeks of stall rest so his leg could heal. His prognosis is good and he’s doing great.

I was inspired to write a book about Raphael’s road to recovery. You can find more about Raphael’s Story book here at Ranch Life Naturals or visit Sue’s author site.
