Meet beautiful Koda, a six year old Stationbred Standardbred with the sweetest nature. 💙

Koda had been struggling with his canter and appeared uncomfortable through his hip and lower back. His guardian noticed his hip would occasionally drop, and when she would massage the area, it felt like something wasn’t quite right. Unsurprisingly, this sweet boy had become reluctant to be ridden.

His guardian couldn’t pinpoint the soreness to an injury but it was clear he needed a little bit of support to heal. Due to the physical distance between us, I was asked to work remotely. The intention was to ease Koda’s discomfort, encourage balance and ease within his body, and support his emotional wellbeing.

I connected with Koda’s energy and listened to what his body was showing me. I was drawn to his hips and sacrum, and little by little the tension softened, his energy became lighter and I could feel a sense of ease returning.

It became clear that Koda was also carrying emotional tension alongside his physical discomfort. As I supported him to release these emotions I was reminded of the importance of trust, patience and presence.

When an animal feels deeply seen, heard and understood a space is created for them to release any dis-ease they are holding within the body. This quiet exchange between two beings is just as profound whether I am standing beside them or connecting with them from afar.

A few days after his treatment, I received this beautiful update from his guardian...

"Hi Lisa, just wanted to let you know I think Koda is feeling a lot better. Enough to be rearing up and annoying his brother and old Dad in the paddock. Tearing around bucking and hooning like an irritating young fool as far as they're concerned haha. He's incredibly cuddly and smoochy and generally just pretty happy. I'm not planning on riding him for another month to give him plenty of down time to heal. Thought you'd like to know." 💕

There is nothing quite like hearing that a horse who wasn't feeling himself is once again running, playing, cuddling and simply enjoying life! Seeing their spark return is such a gift.

Wishing this gorgeous boy many happy adventures ahead. Thank you Koda, for sharing your story with me. 💙

After the significant physical and behavioural improvements Boots showed following his first treatment, it was time for a follow up session to see if we could unpack a little more.

When I began treating Boots, it was clear his posture wasn't quite right. His chest was noticeably collapsed, with his shoulders rounded and drawn together. As the treatment progressed, his chest began to open and flatten, indicating that the restrictions within his body were beginning to ease.

I had been asked to see if I could get to the bottom of why his jumping was so inconsistent. One day he would fly over jumps with confidence and ease; the next, he looked completely green, as though he'd forgotten everything he knew. This was really puzzling, as Boots had previously competed at Horse of the Year, so there was no question about his ability.

As I tuned into his nervous system and the memories he carried of his previous guardian and their relationship, I was met with an overwhelming sense of sadness.

Boots stood just 14.1 hands high. As his previous young guardian grew, it became time for her to advance to a larger horse so she could continue developing her riding skills. Having outgrown gorgeous Boots, he was re-homed.

From Boots' perspective, this experience created a powerful association. He learned that forming a close bond with his guardian and becoming successful at jumps led to being left behind. In his mind, jumping well meant losing the person he loved.

He desperately wanted to please his new guardian and genuinely enjoyed jumping, but deep within his nervous system was the fear of what doing well might mean for his future.

Suddenly, everything made sense.
We had found the missing piece of the puzzle!! And with the root cause identified, I was able to address the emotional trauma he had been carrying by reprogramming his subconscious that had linked positive performance with loss of security.

I also treated him with selected homeopathic remedies, made targeted supplement recommendations to support his gut health and treated a couple of minor physical issues that surfaced during the session.

Healing isn't just about treating the body or changing behaviour in isolation. It's about understanding the story an animal is carrying, gently releasing what no longer serves them, and giving them the opportunity to move forward with confidence, trust and joy.

I'm looking forward to seeing Boots continue to flourish as he realises that doing his very best doesn't mean he'll lose the person he loves - it simply means he gets to enjoy a fun and fulfilling life together with his guardian. 🐴💛

💫 What if the behaviour isn't the problem, but the message…. !

✨ Have you ever wondered what story your horse might be carrying? 🌟🐴🩷

Boots’ transformation 💫💕🎉

I was asked to treat little Boots for his anxiety and to check him over physically to see if there were any issues which might account for his behaviour.

At his previous home he would spook, buck and bronc and didn’t want to be ridden. He was less dramatic with his new family but his behaviour was very inconsistent from day to day. One day he would be fine and the next he would completely “freak out”.

Boots had injured his stifle previously from being caught in a fence and had x-rays taken. He had also been treated for ulcers.

He felt really familiar to me and I instantly connected with him. He showed me a few physical issues which needed to be addressed, including his stifle, hip, sacrum, withers, elbow, hock, neck, jaw and shoulder. He showed me he was feeling glum and apathetic, and he was worried about others. He was also holding onto emotional trauma from the past.

I addressed his emotional issues and worked on his physical body and little Boots had some beautiful releases. He let go of so much tension through his withers and shoulders and dropped into a deep state of relaxation. Relaxing felt long overdue for this stressy wee pony. 🤎

I received the following message soon after his session:

“Hey Lisa, lots of little changes within boots already, easy to catch now, interacting with other horses (never done that here) having a hoon in his paddock (never done that either) doesn’t over bend n avoid the contact. He movement is freeer, head bouncing in walk (never had that b4) starting to track up. 🥰”

I absolutely LOVE this for Boots! I’m so happy to hear this fabulous news. He soooo deserves to be happy and feel amazing! ♥️😍

Bear will do anything to divert the attention away from his little sister!

He was a little jealous having not received his own treatment but did manage to bask in the healing energy and have lots of lovely releases himself whilst I was treating Squash nearby.

I had promised to say goodbye to Bear before I left and I wanted to make a fuss of him. As I approached I heard him communicate to me “Tell me I’m your favourite” 🤣🤎

His guardian confirmed that would be EXACTLY what he would say!! 🤣🤣😍
