Welcome to The Medicine Bag Project

Medicine Bag Project is the expression of our ancestral culture. This Project was established to preserve our family traditions that were once a part of a greater traditional culture. Our philosophy teaches us to live in what we refer to as ‘Right Relationship.’ 

By Living The Way, We Preserve The Way. . .

From day one, our goal was to continue using the Traditional herbal formulas and knowledge passed down through our family, to develop new formulas based on these teachings and to make them available.

Our purpose is simple . . . to help restore your horse to ‘Right Relationship.’ We only make formulas with this in mind. When your horse breeds, conceives and performs at a high level then we have done our job.

The results have been amazing.

  • I would never have believed it was possible to turn this horse around.  Moonbar was severely injured in the spring of 2000.  After 3-1/2 years, there was only partial recovery.  Medicine Bag Project stepped in and after four (4) months he was able to run barrels wide open with no sign of lameness

  • Horse had been lame for over a year.  This horse had ligament and tendon issues for several years which included stall rest.   We put the horse on 60 days of Ligdon formula.  At 75 days the horse was back roping part time and was roping full time at 90 days.

  • Horse had a slight tear on the deep digital flexor tendon.  The horse was still performing, but showed signs of periodic lameness.  In the peak of the season, the horse was used a lot and it would need periodic rest.  The horse started the formula while still performing.  Half way through the regimen, the horse was doing so well they decided no more was needed. Frequent updates showed the horse maintained its recovery.

  • Horse one had moderately arthritic hock and severe tendon tear.  The horse had been off and on lame for over a year and they were considering selling the mare.  Thirty days after starting the Ligdon formula the horse was showing no signs of lameness.  It was decided to put the mare on a maintenance dose for thirty more days.  At 60 days the horse was put back into training.

  • Horse two was a very severe case.  He was purchased as a test.   After John saw the results of Ligdon on several horses he decided to purchase a horse that was completely lame.  This horse could barely walk and at times could not move at all.  It was in constant pain.  The horse was riddled with arthritis, severe inflammation of the hocks and knee joints, ligament and tendon damage in several locations and major hoof issues.  Two weeks into the program (Ligdon and MBC) the horse was moving more freely and the inflammation had reduced by 50-60%.  The horse began to walk more frequently without severe pain.  At 30 days x-rays showed the arthritis had been reduced by 70-75%.  There was also a marked improvement to the ligaments and tendons.  At 60 days the horse showed an 80% reduction in lameness and the associated pain.  The ligaments and tendons appeared to be healed.  The arthritis had improved 85-90%.

  • Since I put "Abundaprince" on MBC his overall health, speed, and disposition has improved greatly. He won his last 5 of 6 starts and took his lifetime record of 1:57! The most amazing thing about MBC is I was told I would never have to worm him. To be sure, I took a fecal sample (Nov. 2008), and sure enough it was totally negative! He has not been wormed in over six months! That's great, especially in Florida.

  • Colt Braden and Shiloh were a winning team from Oklahoma HS State Champions to the College National Champions.  Then, Shiloh became crippled.  We went from vet to vet with diagnoses from a bruised coffin bone to navicular.  We tried different things, but none worked.  Then our prayers were answered when we heard about “Complete.”  Within a month, Shiloh was back with no painkillers at all.  Tanner (Colt’s younger brother) won $15,000.00 at Rope America and USTRC roping this summer (2004).  Shiloh has continued to work fulltime for the last four years and kept us in the winners circle.  Thank you again for this wonderful product.  I am telling the world so more horses can fulfill their potential.”

  • In July 2006 Barry and his $125,000 horse were at a rodeo in Wyoming when the horse went down.  It was hauled to Colorado State University where over the next six weeks, it lost over 300 pounds.  The prognosis was the horse had a 25% chance to live and if he did live, it would be a year before Barry could ever ride his horse again.  We received the call in the beginning of September and advised him to go get his horse.  We started the horse on the MBC program 16 September 2006.  The horse was entered in the Prairie Circuit finals the first weekend in November, 2006.  He is still doing great.

  • I had a foal crop in 2006 and one of the young colts broke his leg.  The break healed and the horse was apparently fine, however every time the horse would play with the other colts he would limp for hours afterward.  When they were coming two year olds (2008), I put the horse on MBC and within 30 days the horse never took another lame step no matter how hard he played.

  • I had a horse x-rayed in late December 2007and diagnosed with a broken bone in the hoof mechanism.  The bone had been broken for two months.  The vet’s suggestion was to put the horse down.  I knew of no way to repair the damaged bone because of its location.   We started the horse on MBC the first week in January 2008 Shortly into the program the horse was no longer limping.  The horse was taken to the vet in March and x-rayed again.  It showed no signs of ever being broke.

  • Had a 4 year old cutting horse that crippled up on the back end.  After numerous attempts to heal the horse it didn’t get healed.  The vets did not know what the problem was.  The horse was put on MBC and at three weeks the horse that had not ran for 6 months was now out moving and running across the field.  This product completely turned the horse around.

  • Horse with a severely torn tendon and it had been lame for one year.  The horse was started on the Lidgon formula and within a week they noticed improvement.  At 30 days they started riding the horse again.  At 60 days they were back to roping full time.

  • Luc was diagnosed with OCD at a well known vet facility.  Surgery to remove the damaged tissue was their recommendation with the likely prognosis that Luc would be unable to do any performance work.  We started the Medicine Bag regimen in March, 2004.  Results were seen within a month.  I decided in November, 2004 to have x-rays taken again.  The infection is completely gone and the bone is growing back.

  • Horse had a suspensory ligament that was torn completely in two.  There was some minor tendon damage and severe arthritis in 3 hoof/hock areas.  Recommendation was for the horse to have 6 mos – 1 year stall rest and a 35% chance the horse would ever race again.  Key note – this horse was at Northfield Park which is the hardest harness track in the country.  In 45 days, an x-ray was performed and an ultrasound was done.  They discovered 75% of the arthritis/inflammation was gone.  The suspensory ligament had reattached itself but was still spongy.  Fifteen days later, the horse went back in training.

  • Rancher in western Oklahoma whose young daughter races barrels.  They had a 21 year old mare that was becoming more and more lame.  They put the horse on the MBC program and they started seeing an improvement immediately.  They brought in another barrel horse and made this other mare their pole bending horse.  Today, a year later, that 21 year old is now 22 and running the fastest times of its life.   This horse is now bred and had not cycled for years.

  • (1) horse had arthritis in both front hocks and the left suspensory ligament was completely severed.  At 30 days, they x-rayed and did an ultrasound, the arthritis was 75 percent gone and the ligament had reattached itself, but was still punky.  At 60 days, they re-x-rayed and the horse was given a good bill of health and put back in training.  (2) We received a harness horse that had ligament and tendon problems that were so severe that the left fetlock was on the ground.  45 days after starting on our program, we had the fetlock back at a 1 – 1 ratio with the right.  Vet check at 60 days showed the horse was healed.

  • Horse had been lame for some time and consistently getting worse.  Tried many different remedial measures to fix the horse or at least alleviate the pain; all to no avail.  Finally hauled horse to the vet where it was diagnosed with arthritis in the left hock.  Horse started showing improvement almost immediately and within 30 days, he was no longer taking a lame step.

  • First horse had a bone chip that was causing severe pain for the horse, creating lameness.  Second horse was a 10 year old cribber sore in the back and dropped the shoulder when running barrels.  The third horse was 14 year old navicular and tenderness in the right front shoulder.  All three horses began to show real improvement from 10 days to 3 weeks after being on the MBC.  Eventually all horses were completely healed.

  • Sylvester is a 20 year old Paint. He had an accident as a yearling that ultimately left him with severe high ringbone on the right hind. He progressed to the point where we could not put any weight on that leg. After a couple of rounds of an herbal remedy (from the Medicine Bag Project) combined with a massive dose (8 oz./day) of MBC he is today completely lameness free and his coat is gorgeous to boot.

  • I had been doing research on natural equine supplements for my boy ‘Sunny’ for weeks and then finally a friend (living in England) told me about a ‘great’ supplement she had been giving her horses and then shared with me on how well her horses were doing since on ‘Medicine Bag Complete’. I have had Sunny on MBC for just over one year and wish I had started sooner...
