What is Equine Iridology
Iridology is a centuries old scientific study/analysis of patterns and structures in the iris. A fantastic non invasive and painless method enabling a trained person to recognise root causes of temperament, behavioural, health or performance issues. In the present we can see inherited and congenital strengths and weaknesses, pathological changes to the fibres of the Iris; conditions and inherited weaknesses, site of over activity, irritation, inflammation, degeneration of tissues and organs and toxic accumulation. The likelihood of conditions / problems manifesting before they develop into more serious cases or diseases. Old injuries, scarring, accidents, traumas, which could trigger future problems can also be seen. The organs we commonly see affected are the liver and kidneys due to modern regime and feed. If the liver or kidneys are malfunctioning this hugely affects the function of the other organs and can lead to a huge scenario of issues like indigestion, loss of appetite, or eating well but not gaining weight,, not absorbing nutrients efficiently, diabetes, cholesterol problems, hormone imbalances affecting mares, stallions and breeding and also muscle efficiency / tying up, behavioural problems, mood swings, and many more variations and scenarios.
The iris is divided into certain areas, like the face of a clock. Genetic markings passed from parents to offspring give an overall blueprint of the constitution, and can point out weaknesses often several years before symptoms or discomfort become apparent. The iris is made up of connective tissue containing approximately 28,0000 nerve endings, all of which are connected to the brain, the brain receives continual information regarding the organs and then records this information in the iris markings.
Many illnesses are simply symptoms of an organ malfunction, iridology can reveal the root cause of the illness so that the right treatment is easier and more effective. Professional iridologists agree that acute, sub-acute, chronic and degenerative conditions of the body are all reflected in the iris.

Good Eye
Conventional X-rays or blood tests, scopes and scans only show up a break/fracture, disease/virus; they will not show up an organ that is merely weak, under stress or malfunctioning.
Bad Eye
For example, inherited kidney weakness is one of the main things that will show up clearly in the eye and horses who have this weakness are prone to tying up and also the “sore back” or “cold back” syndrome.
The digestive ring will indicate whether the system is toxic, acidic, extended or whether there are ulcers and will also show up parasitic problems. It has been demonstrated that there is a direct relationship between parts of the colon and a corresponding reflex area of the body: in other words if the nerve wreath is pointing to a particular area, i.e., the liver, it will indicate the first signs that the liver is starting to come under stress. Any horse showing a problem in the digestive ring will be prone to other complaints and be unable to do their job properly.
Iridology Assessment
If you are having any ongoing problems with your horse/pony, or if you would just be interested in their general health and inherited or genetic strengths and or weaknesses and you do not live near, you can send a high resolution photographs of their eyes. Online assessments available at cost of £65. Contact me for a full consultation first.
