Gloria Garland is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist with a Masters Degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine. A lifelong horse gal, she practices in Oakhurst, California near Yosemite National Park. Garland’s interest in equine Chinese herbal therapy began in 1988, when she sought an alternative (and successful) therapy for her own arthritic gelding. After years of providing individual herbal consultations and formulas for veterinarians, horse trainers and owners, Garland has developed Whole Horse Herbs™ with the goal of bringing complementary herbal medicine to the equine community. 

Garland is the author of Equine Acupressure Therapeutics and writes for Trail Blazer Magazine, Equine Wellness Magazine, Holistic Horse, The Organic Equine, Central Equine and California Riding Magazines.  She has also been a featured clinician at Equine Affaire and The Backcountry Horsemen of California State Rendezvous. She teaches hands-on seminars and classes, empowering horse owners with accurate and useful information and equine health care tools.
