Nashama Newsletter Feb/March 2026
Welcome to February & March at the Nashama Equine & Wellness Farm.
Wow, how fast 2025 went and 2026 is flying already. It’s now the 7th March 2026 and I somehow forgot to finish the February Newsletter, so am combining.
I have temporarily suspended our Facebook pages for a while to concentrate on other aspects of the business. Facebook does not really offer good value for the time needing to be spent on it, and many shop owners are leaving social media for the same reason.
You can still find us on Instagram for pretty pictures, Patreon for in depth information, our web site and our web shops.

Breathe Easy & Sinus Relief Soap Update
With Autumn here, the minds of a few of our clients are turning to relieving congestion in the shower with Breathe Easy and Sinus Relief.
Some of our favourite fragrances are being discontinued. It’s just part of life in the soap and candle business, so an update:-
1. Breathe Easy has just about sold out. The fragrance has been discontinued, however my supplier still had some so I snaffled 500ml, which makes a lot of bars of soap for our Breathe Easy fans.
For those who have not tried it and are wondering why the fuss, Breathe Easy is a cleansing, delicious blend of peppermint, spiced apple, aniseed and satsuma plum with mid range spicy notes of cinnamon and clove on a gourmand base of gingerbread, shortbread and vanilla. Its fans find it hits all the right spots.
2. Sinus Relief has no change. A traditional winter favourite, Sinus Relief is a clean, comforting, invigorating cool herbal blend. It pairs crisp mint with eucalyptus, and also has a touch of clove bud and blood orange.
I will make a batch of each shortly to restock these two soaps.
For our younger folk who don’t know why someone would select a soap to clear congestion in the shower, our Mums’, your Grandmas’ and Great Grandmas, used to put our heads over bowls of steam in a tried and tested, ancient method to help shift congestion, which you can do in the shower.
On the test bench my foray into Paleo, natural, healthy make-up, I am gathering my ingredients and setting up, doing my research, and generally pottering about.
Our equestrian themed vegan lipsticks and lip balms are available. The natural, vegan base is good for your lips and the colourants are rubbish free, delivering a healthy, high performing lipstick.
Nothing new in Crochet, my shades of blue OKTEO cotton shawl on the crochet hook with my own pattern is on its final round and will be in the shop shortly. These shawls provide a touch of glamour to a suit or formal outfit, and being one-off’s, no one else will every have the same shawl you have. Each piece is unique, so once it’s sold, it’s gone.

I am attending the Universal Healing Tao World Congress and having a ball, despite the 14.00-02.00 class spread! This one is on European time.
Nashama Equine & Canine
Glen is on the tools and trimming, chiropracting and massaging horses, goats and dogs. He still has a few openings in his schedule left for new clients with the retirement of some of his oldest clients from horse and donkey ownership, including those in the Junee and Wagga Wagga areas. At this time he has reduced Wagga/Junee to one day a month.
The rising price of fuel is affecting both our ability to travel to horses at current pricing, so we, like every other farrier and vet in Australia, may need to raise prices.
Farm Life
The farm has dried off and the inhabitants are slowly recovering from the loss of Delfire. Coats are lengthening as the animals prepare for winter.
Until next month!
