Equine Emotional and Physical Trauma

While I was at a friend’s house working on my

magazine article, we had a gal come in to visit

about her new

horse.

This horse is a

beautiful, 5 yr old

brown quarter

horse mare that

was purchased

July 2016. The

owner explained

that “this mare

has issues”.

She felt that her

new horse June

Bug was emotion-

ally disturbed, not cooperative, obstinate and in a

lot of physical pain for some reason.

Grooming was a challenge because she was so

sensitive to even a gentle touch over her body.

She lacked self confidence, trust and could only

carry her saddle for a short period of time making

riding and working her very limited.

So the journey began. We assessed the situation

and knew that it was going to take a unity of Spir-

itual gifts working together to rehabilitate her. In

I Corinthians 12:1-11 the Bible explains Spiritual

gifts as unity in diversity, along with the discern-

ment of spirits.

“Bug’s” owner is a Sports Massage Therapist her-

self and works with muscle issues and deep tissue

massage. She is very kind, loving and passionate

in her work.

I work with the energy in balancing of the mind,

the body and the spirit. I use several modalities

depending on the assessment for treatment. Com-

bining our therapies and our expertise we can

facilitate change to assist the body in healing and

accomplish more in shorter period of time.

On July 13th we

assessed her pain

level and agreed it

was at a 5. I started

with balancing the

energy centers and

she showed block-

ages at each of the

7 energy centers.

While receiving the

therapy she was

very relaxed and

cooperative.

I then did Acupressure Massage. Starting with

opening the bladder meridian, I then worked on the

acupressure points on both sides. Moving to mas-

saging and photonic therapy on the sensitive areas,

I released the tight muscles. I did acupressure on

the 12 ting points and closed the meridians to finish

this part of her session.

Moving to emotional therapy, I worked on the 8

standard points. We had several releases including

a few open mouth and body stretching.
