Alternative Side of LifeAlternative choices are everywhere, just look around and you will find something that suits your horse and you. If we know anything about the horse we can say they are spiritual creatures. They are sensitive to their surroundings and the people in them. If there is someone that they don't care for they back away but if they like you they gravitate towards you. How do they know?
What Alternative Therapies Have You Used To Help Your Horse? 
They are extremely subtle in their clues that stuff is going on for them. If they could only speak English! That sure would make our life easier would it not? If you are quiet and observant you can learn what they are saying. Alternatively, they can teach you much about yourself as they usually reflect back at you what is going on for you. It always seems that when there is a problem there is usually a
simple solution to help the horse out. A lot of people think when there is trouble riding
that it is the equipment when 90 percent of the time it is not that, it is the rider!
Any time something was going on with my gelding at the track, it was always so subtle and it usually took me a few days to really figure out what was going on with him. Once I had an idea then I could call in the right person.
I also have been known to use flower essences on him too. It did take a bit of research to find the right one for his circumstances but I found that they did work for him quite well. If you are lucky to know the complete history of your horse then that saves you some digging if your horse has any sort of problem. There is so many options out there today to help your horse. Have you ever thought of using a horse astrologer or a animal communicator before? What about magnets or massage therapy?
Have you ever asked for a "sign" that you are on the right track with your horse? I figured out fast after I claimed my horse that there was some trauma there and he was near the edge of completely shutting down mentally, spiritually, emotionally. Thankfully we claimed him and helped him turn around and he has never been happier. He has grown and changed completely from our initial time together. I am happy that I decided to take a holistic approach an encompass all of his needs. Because of this approach we took with him, he is stronger in every sense and he would not tolerate a hostile environment any more. I am not saying he would become violent but he would let his rider or handler kindly know that what they are doing is unacceptable.
He is spiritually complete now. He has been able to clear his blocks thorough Reiki, align his body with a chiropractor and have all of his internal organs function at their optimum with the use of shiatsu.We tried acupuncture on him and he did not like it one little bit!
He has been able to let go of his submissive past and stand in his own spirit because we somehow
managed to show him that it was okay to be him and he no longer had to live like that. Amazingly
enough he came out of his shell.
Arnica Flower The alternative side of the horse world is informative, some is useful and some is not. As they say you take what suits you and leave the rest. If it doesn't work for your horse that's okay. I did try different things with my horse but I always made sure it would be safe for him. I am one of the lucky ones that barely needed the vet so I did not worry about
medications interacting with homeopathy remedies. Sometimes I would feed
herbs
to help reduce pain and inflammation so I had to be sure there was no interference whatsoever. Most
of the time Reiki was all that I used.
It is my aim for this alternative section to introduce some of the other healing modalities that is out there. Read up on it and if you think it might work for your own horse, research it and make sure. I will be adding more information as I find it so please check back often! I am also trying to kick up this section a notch with this really cool idea I have. I will let you know if it pans out!
