Horse Sense....

 

 

So fingers crossed, as I am writing this, the herb worked for Mumma.

I mean, already there's been a 360 turn around in her personality and calmness, and I'm super stoked.  The last thing I wanted for Mumma was for her to be upset.  This was supposed to be a great home for her and her being upset, was upsetting.

However, it's only been 16 hours and you know, that's really not good enough, ask me on day 3 whether we got it right.

On a funny note though, one of my super close professional horse friends also has a foal.  Every day we message each other, Show me your magick... 

We are not in competition as such, but we are daily sending video's back going, This is us today...

I am by no means out of the woods, and most of the time I feel totally out of my depth, but I get up every day, aim to do better than I did yesterday, and play with magick.

Mumma's noticably better today but still did a few half hearted runs late in the day.  

However, I noticed that the rest of the family had buggered off to the very end of the last paddock, almost two full paddocks away from Mumma.  And they're big paddocks.

Once she calms down she can join the rest of the family.  That was the whole point.

**** 

So Mumma overall has been ten times better.  But we still had a run again tonight, so I'm standing there at the top of the paddock watching her.  Trying to see what she is seeing, which is upsetting her.  

I see lots of grass.

I see lots of room.

I see a pond.

Ok, they're all good.  What am I not seeing?

Horses.

All the rest of the family have buggered off to the very bottom of the last paddock.  And just like that we had a little break through.  I called Caps up and the rockstar that he is, stopped what he was doing and came up.  Stood with Mumma until she had stopped freaking out, which honestly, took about a minute after Caps came and stood with her until, and wait for it...she buggered off down to the bottom of her second paddock happy as.

I'm still waiting for the click though, and she can't go in with the others until I do.

Belle and I almost have the click.  We're doing well, but we haven't had that moment, that click in/click on.

That new herb is working amazingly well.  

Well, actually it is an old herb in a new way.  I had to look back in my books and see what everyone had spoken about and to be fair, no one had mentioned this aspect of it.  But then again, why would they?  Herbs and horses are only new, so we don't really know how they work, and humans, even though our bodies are similiar to horses, are not quite 100% the same.  Similiar enough to work with herbs though.  So if you cross reference both human herb books and horses, you often find success.  But I go further than that, I look at all the clinical trials.  So when I went into the fine print, the clincial studies which had been done, Boom, baby! there it was.  Exactly what I needed and how they thought it worked.

You have to love science some days.

You know when I first bought the book, it cost me about $350, and I thought it could quite possibly have been the stupidest money I ever spent.

Well, well, well eh?  Works out it was some of the best.

The herbs worked for Mumma and then this morning she was like, No thank you and had eaten every bit of food apart from the herb.  That's cool.  I stopped Belle's ones too, working on the theory that I am using this herb now on a cyclitic basis.
 
Everyone loves the new food (no fucking soy!!) apart from Mumma who doesn't have it, she has her own Mumma food (also no soy).
 
Belle is also getting super cool with her boundaries.  We're not perfect, however, we're better, heading towards great.
 
And on a last note, as much as I am still bloody sore, this has been a really great re-remembering.  I don't take medication or pain killers in any form, haven't for years, and the reason is this:
 
My body is strong.  It can withstand trauma, and it has the ability to heal itself pretty damn quick.  And when you take pain killers, it numbs what the body is trying to tell you.  You need discomfort to tell you how the body is healing, if there is a real issue, and most importantly, how to run with Energy.  
 
In having said that though, I nurture my body.  I don't suffer in pain, I just work at healing in a more natural and soft way.  
 
Think of a circle, instead of a triangle.  
 
And rest.  
 
You have no idea how much I've slept or had naps.
 
So as much as I never want to experience that again, I re-remembered how the body heals.  At it's own pace.  You can't rush it.  But as one area heals, another will need fixing and this is the process.  I was able to make, and use, a balm immediately and that worked wonders.  It gave my body a real kick start.  But then my body needed to heal in it's own way and own time.  So this journey has been really interesting.
 
You know, I get so used to my way, that I forget not everyone lives and loves like this.
 
It's been an excellent learning experience though.  One that I will not forget easily or quickly.
 
So that's been our week:  It's been soul good.  Spirit have stood with us and whispered words of healing, in all the ways that horses and humans heal - emotionally, intimately, physically and Spirtually.
 
Take what you need from us, leave the rest.
 
Big hugs and horsey kisses from us here, to you there.
 
Caps, me, Spirit, Az, Ralph, Chew, Suz, the Big E, and of course, my beautiful Mumma Bear, Belle and Little Boo

* Feeding time is going well.  Not perfect, and it seems to be taking forever with our boundaries, but every day, it's getting slightly cleaner, clearer and smoother.
 
** I swear, hand on hoof, bloody Belle's going into season again.  Which absolutely, cannot be right, because I thought she was in season just a little while ago.  
This means I've made a boo boo somewhere.  Either food, herbs or somehow in the way that we work in the mornings.  I've added some more B vitamins and extra magnesium tonight, so I will see how she is tomorrow.  
 
She was one pissed off filly with me today though, and if she could have stomped her hooves and flicked her mane round like a little diva, she would have.
