Books with Spirit - Horse Riding

Apples is a sweet, generous and very quiet standardbred, used by my New Zealand host Cheryl McCullagh as the mainstay of her Ponyblue program, bringing troubled kids and police together.   Apples is that horse that you can have kids crawling around in perfect confidence because he’s both kindly aware of them and consummately gentle.

I did a healing session on Apples as part of my thankyou to Cheryl for hosting the clinic.  And I was about half way through the session, just about to do a Bowen move on him when he kicked me.  It was a sharp, shocking kick, but not hard enough to leave a mark and there was no warning that I noticed.
