Meet your horse's physical needs, emotional needs, give them Love, quality time and attitude to enjoy a relationship of mutual joy.
The emotional well-being of your horse
Most people are aware of the physical needs of their horses - providing a diet that gives them the nutrients they need, providing warmth (coats) or shelter in the cold, looking after their feet, worming etc. Their emotional needs though are often overlooked or simply not realised.
Horses are extremely sensitive and intuitive creatures. They experience emotions and states that we experience - hurt, fear, anxiety, grief, anger, stubbornness, distrust, trust, love. YOUR state of mind is so important when you are around your horses - you would be surprised how much they pick up from you. Often with a stubborn behavioural or emotional problem in your horse, it is your attitude that needs changing! They can reflect your attitude to you! Remember they look to you for direction and guidance so always try to be calm and clear when around your horse. With a little patience, care and understanding you can help your horse be happy, calm, willing to communicate and work with you, open and trusting of you at all times. By improving the emotional well being of your horse, it's general behaviour, performance and health all benefit. A happy horse is less likely to injure itself or be subject to colds and infections. (In simple terms, emotional stress effects the immune system, so a happy horse is usually more resistant.)
Flower Essences and the emotional well-being of horses.
A simple but effective way to improve your horse's emotional well being is the use of flower essences. Nature provides us with the most wonderful solutions to many problems. flower essences are vibrational medicines, hence their effect on emotional states. They are non physical in nature, so non toxic. They are not a substitute for veterinary care but when needed can be used in conjunction.
Nature's Solutions (TM) Flower Essences for Horses
The following combinations of essences are to assist you in providing for the emotional needs of your horses. They were formulated to assist in the treatment of some of the more common emotional needs and problems that occur in horses.
Trust your intuition in deciding which essence is appropriate. When selecting essences for your horse, it is also helpful to first try and establish what is “going on” with him/her.
e.g. is she perhaps flighty when passing a house with a dog because a dog once chased and bit her?
In other words, try and establish if something is causing the behaviour / symptoms. If so, it's usually very helpful to address the cause alongside the symptoms. Hence, the flightly horse could be given Calming as well as Courage, to address her fear of dogs as well as calm her down.
In addressing the cause as well as the symptoms, the animal is usually afforded a much greater chance to heal his imbalances and achieve greater emotional wellbeing. This is then reflected in a more positive and obvious change in their behaviour
The dosage is 10 drops once daily for 1 - 2 weeks (except in the case of the Calming Essence and the Emergency Essences which can be given more frequently if needed.) A week is usually all that is needed to see improvement- occasionally it is necessary to continue the treatment for 2 weeks. If needed, the Essence can be repeated if there is a return of symptoms, again for a week. Lift the lip of your horse and squirt directly on the inner lining of the mouth (gums, inner cheek or under tongue). If your horse won't accept the taste of the drops, dilute the drops in 2 - 5 ml of water and squirt this in. Alternatively make a small hole in the top of a piece of carrot or apple and place drops in the hole. If the horse you are treating is the only one using the water you provide, you can simply put the drops in any drinking water soon to be ingested.
