People and horses often do some healing as a side effect of using these books to get an extraordinary relationship. Here’s some excerpts from my post to the Bobby’s Diaries discussion group about more understanding of that process and how we can support us or our horses during that healing.
At the last clinic at Tanjil South, ‘cos of late cancellations, we took in at the last minute, a young lady who was suffering from really severe clinical depression for a healing with horses program running at the same time as our Spirit of Horse clinic. As you may be aware, I’ve worked with lots of people with depression in my alternative therapy clinic. We also brought the very talented “healer” and all round good horsewoman and dear friend, Sheila Angeloni, in to work one on one with her.
It was young Boot n Scoot our 4 year old hand reared orphan foal that chose her to work with (and yes I did notice what I said – he was MOST insistant!) This girl didn’t know the back end of a horse from the front, only came on her friend’s recommendation as an alternative to imminent hospitalization.
