The Equine Touch bodywork inviting deep relaxation and REM sleep using gentle and energetically powered vibrational moves on the soft tissue of the body. Creating space in the body and mind for the horse to release residual stress and tension…

If you’re following the journey of the two new girls I am working with, today I had an opportunity to give them some Equine Touch. I intend to work with them at Liberty, give them the decision of when to accept the bodywork and how much they need in order to help build their trust and connection with me.

I started offering them some little moves across the back and neck areas, however, initially neither were fussed, moving away from me. I checked in with myself and worked on grounding my energy levels better, stepping back to give them some space. Once I noticed the shift in my headspace and energy, Aria (chestnut) walked directly over to me and stayed in my space. I offered her some light energy work initially and she responded well so I moved on to a few small Equine Touch moves across her atlas at the top of her neck on her left side. Slowly stretching the fascia, recoiling the muscular attachments and creating a vibrational move in sequence with my body and breath. She immediately relaxed, softening her eyes, lowering her head and neck and slowing her breathing. I attempted to mirror the moves on the right side but she was not happy with this. I stepped back to give her some space, letting her know that I am listening to her.

From that point on, she started to show signs of processing, moved to a different location in the field and proceeded to fall into a deep sleep state, as deep as REM for the next hour.

She allowed me to stay with her, something I feel means a great deal of trust and Karma (grey) came over to join in. I had also given Karma a few small moves across her back to help introduce her to the bodywork.

It is great to see both the girls so relaxed and open to what I can offer them. As we progress, I hope that they will allow me to work with them more and more, and eventually they will know to come to me for help, if they need it. I hope to be able to make them both more comfortable both physically and emotionally x

After making the decision to postpone my ET Review Day for a different date nearer the end of this year or early next year, I received a very last minute opportunity to join the Sharon May-Davis clinic this weekend and decided to go for it! So here I am, in South Wales thanks to a lovely friend. Looking forward to learning even more about the equine body over the next three days x

Recently, two new mares came into my care, having lost both my boys 4 months ago. The girls are remarkably similar to my boys being the same colours, having familiar mannerisms and dynamics between them. It is both heartwarming and some days it is hard when they remind me of Clive and Rufus. But, I am hopeful they will help me to heal - I think they already are.

I plan to help them both with bodywork as I did before, and I want to do this on their terms, for them to recognise that I am able to help so they come to me by choice. This was the first opportunity I was given to offer them some energy work, gently introducing them to what I have to offer and they both took a lot from it finding peacefulness in gentle processing, holding space with me, giving me the opportunity to feel their energy fields finding hot spots and relieving blockages, even through their rugs.

I intend to slowly build up to more hands-on bodywork of Equine Touch and hope to share this journey with you x
