“I owe my life to goose fat. It was
1928, I was three weeks old, born at home and very ill with
whooping cough. I had ruptured myself coughing and had to have
an operation (I have still got the scar).
I was not expected to live and was returned home and baptised
there and then due to the poor prognosis. Along comes the
district nurse, puts me in a steam tent and at least twice a
day rubs my chest and back with goose oil. There were no
antibiotics back then. The result? A reasonably active
and healthy 79 year old, all thanks to dear old goose fat.” |

“We have hunted with the Bicester for
over 20 years and have always found that the best way to protect
our horses’ heels in the wet is to put a liberal coating
of goose fat from the pastern joint across the bulbs of the
heel.
We also use goose fat across the back and rump when we
are turning out youngsters in the winter that have been
in the barn for a while. We don’t use rugs as they always
seem to get caught up, but the goose fat forms a protective
waterproof cover that keeps off the wet and stops rain scald.
It works equally well when we turn out the clipped hunters in
the spring.” |
