Joy Everest established her Natural Therapies Clinic in the Mt Gambier District ten years ago, where she was well known as being dedicated to her practice with people and animals. Her family relocated to the township of WISTOW in the Adelaide Hills in 2006 where she now travels to treat pets, horses and other farmyard animals.

Joy is one of the few people in Australia who offers Iridology for Pets.

She finds looking into the eye of a horse can tell her its past nutritional status, possibly leg or joint problems and the location of current aches and pains.  This information is often crucial to the health and wellbeing of the animal, especially if its background is unknown.

The family interest in dressage has seen many horses rehabilitated, often culminating in wins and places at an elite level in the South Australian Dressage Scene.  In 2000 two horses arrived at the Pony Club Nationals, one an existing client and the other a Victorian horse which needed treatment for travel related problems.  They each won their dressage on consecutive days.

have big plans for him in eventing. 

Magic Boy was on a special diet to help
him compete at his best. 

Joy’s background as a horse breeder, horse competitor, author and dressage judge has given her a wealth of knowledge to draw from. She has had a long term association with Pony Clubs where she instructed, judged and was invited to give talks on the Benefits of Natural Therapies for Horse & Rider.
Joy’s animal rearing experience extends from raising chickens with the help of a clucky chook with protective wings, breeding Siamese cats, bucket rearing calves and bottle feeding orphan lambs, delivering lambs from stressed ewes,  delivering foals in the moonlight at 3am, to rehabilitating ponies and horses – too numerous to mention.  Her farm was also a home for abandoned goats and ducks.

 

 

Using cabbage leaves and herbal mixtures for mastitis, Matilda a ewe who had lost her lamb,
made a full recovery.

One time a wild fledgling 3-4cm tall decided the safest place was just behind the car wheel in the driveway. After a lot of thought I decided to make it an ice-cream container nest in the closest tree (I was worried the neighbourhood cats would find him) and gently gave it a few drops of emergency essence on the skin.  Following its ‘leaving the nest’  instincts it would jump out of the nest and shelter in the bushes.  Each time I came home it would hop onto my finger and I would return it to its nest.  The mother bird continually fed the fledgling, amid raucous squawking and remonstrations as to how dangerous these ‘people’ were. The baby bird would hide under an orange tree where the essential oils had an intoxicating effect, but it always managed to hop back on my finger for the lift up to its improvised nest.  Eventually it learned to fly from branch to branch and after 3 weeks of distressed squawking from mum, it passed all the ‘flying lessons’ and they flew off  together.
