A few months ago, I was 'told' by spirit that I had to host a Healing Horses clinic, helping people with healing and communication. I have learned, over the years, to do as I am told - or there is always a price to pay. The venue was at a client's property where I had attended in June to do a healing communication with some of her problem horses. It is an amazing venue with 17 horses at present. Amanda kind of rescues them & sorts them out - by basically allowing them to learn how to be horses again, giving them space and time - and then finds them good homes.
Long story short - my first group of five students arrived and from the minute we started, I knew that spirit was right. They were an amazing group of people, warm hearted, caring and totally committed to helping horses in some way. For some it was an emotional and cathartic journey. For one of two that cathartic release started a week or so before they came. The horses, ready and waiting were open and willing, even those that had problems.
The greatest transitions came from Cas. He had been bought in because he had manually threw his owner across the yard with his teeth! Ooer! Everyone felt compelled to work with him. We had worked with Alfie, the gorgeous dark bay healing junkie in the stable next door to him, so Cas had experienced a little fall out, so was ready for us.
After a short conversation, Cas allowed me in and after another short gentle chat he allowed me to put on a headcollar. He had been hit around the head many times and gave me pictures of his past which were not pleasant. Two students came in and Cas dropped into an endorphic state so quickly. Resting his muzzle against my arm he felt like a small baby snuggled up to his mum. One student helped him to release his facade and sadness, by allowing her tears to flow. Once she understood how much she was helping him, she stopped apologizing for the tears and gave herself over to the horses progress.
Afterwards Alfie and Cas stood with their big dopey heads over the stable looking like a couple of teenagers that had had a bit too much squiff. It was really funny.
There was also Sky, a black yearling unhandled and terrified of humans & Carmel and Sadie, two beautiful but completely wild Exmoor fillies. One student worked a lot with these three. The difference in their energy was incredible. All three relaxed their tight little muzzles and Amanda reported being able to touch all three following our two days there. The yard oozed with loving energy and no one wanted to leave.
There is another clinic before Christmas and there are a couple of spaces so, if you want to feel the magic and do something that will have a big impact on your connection with horses, then do get in touch or check out the clinic page http://www.healinghorses.co.uk/clinics.htm
More rescue horses will be arriving and we still have some unhandled New Forest colts to continue working with. It is a wonderful experience and you do have the option of ongoing support following the clinic.
Take Care
