Lol it's been awhile since I've done this!
It's been a great couple of days for Nashiq. Yesterday he "helped" with Sutton's lesson and then rode on the property for the first time. No problem. Today he was treated to osteopathy and cellsonic. He's very communicative about what he's feeling. Lots of release during both, especially the Cellsonic.
How would you like to really dive in and deal with past trauma (mental, physical, emotional), compensations and even old injuries, with your equine partner by your side every step of the way? Watch your partnership bloom ❤️
We learn while we play. Uhtred's new found confidence with the tarp took a sabbatical yesterday. In the past I would have attributed it to him. I know that I was struggling with my inner peace yesterday and, as always, he was a reflection of that. We still enjoyed some play with friends 🙂
Uhtred the Dragonslayer
Sometimes all you need is to play with a friend and then 12 seconds of magic happens. Today was the first time Uhtred was ridden over a tarp. Even walking over them online has been a huge thing for him, since before I got him. I've never pushed the issue with him, as he brings so many other amazing attributes to the table. I've just been asking him here and there and showing him how all the other horses do it. This is not my accomplishment but his alone. I feel so proud of him. Bella gets a star today for being a helper and planting herself on it a few times lol. I love this horse so much and I know Jill does too....actually everyone who meets him falls in love...just ask Gillian...and Lisa...and Karissa...and Sutton...and...
Nashiq update: this horse is solid. I love him so much. I've had no problems riding him (he was a schooling horse for years so that makes sense), and he was very quick to get comfortable with obstacles. His first experience with the barrels and hoop and second experience with the ball are in this video. That was the way all his first times went and he never took more than 2 or 3 tries to be solid. He only had to learn to trust ☺️...I'd say he's 80% there. ❤️❤️❤️
Today Nashiq allowed me to approach and saddle him up with the bareback pad with no lead rope or halter on. I introduced him to obstacles for the first time and though he was wary at first, he totally conquered the tarp!!!!
It was hopping here today with all kinds of equine health providers. We had a dentist/vet, osteopaths, a saddle fitter, a trimmer and cellsonic work. I wish I had had my phone on me. Penny and Brody were return clients. The video is from their first visit. Today he got osteopathy and cellsonic work on his neck and sacrum. He's a young guy suffering from some old injuries and is improving. We also had return clients, Felicia and Jack. Jack wouldn't hold a left lead, but, with osteopathy and cellsonic, is now picking it up and holding it effortlessly. Such a fabulous weather day and great energy. This is what I love ❤️.
My long time, lovely, friend, Penny brought her 4 year old in to see our equine osteopath. He had multiple issues going on, which needed some longer term protocol before osteopathy. But, the one thing we were able to do was calm down his nervous system by addressing the ends. He was not happy at all about being touched on the oxiput but loved the cellsonic on it. We also addressed his sacrum. See additional videos in the comments. He received 300 pulses on his sacrum and 150 on his oxiput. Kept nudging the machine afterward 😂❤️.
