Forever Home

A little pony I recently met who we will call Blue was a dear little chap, his owner Jill wanted me to visit because Blue always looked grumpy and she wanted him to be happy. Blue is a little section A age 18 and has been Jill's daughters pony for the last 14 months.As I scanned Blue over his energy came across as feeling 10 years older than he is. blue is withdrawn and switched off almost like he  has the weight of the world on his small shoulders. Blue stood still and accepted the healing he told me that he had always been used to having children put on him. There was no relationship just tacked up and children plonked on and if they fell off he would be told off. He is a deeply caring pony who has not enjoyed a 1-1 relationship in his early life. I told Jill about this and she confirmed that Blue had been used in a riding school.I carried on with the healing which was very intense and Blue drifted in and out of relaxation. I explained to Jill that he needs to deepen his relationship with his young rider. He needs to learn to open up and enjoy the partnership. I suggested ground games, Blue needed to find a connection and to feel energy within. He had got used to doing his job, but not feeling it. He had given up on having a relationship with his people because it never lasted.I carried on with the healing and told Blue that he could have all that he wanted here in this home.  After a while Blue walked to Jill and put his head in her hands. I asked her to stroke his head and as she did she told him that he had a forever home and that he would not be going anywhere else. Blue sighed and started to yawn and yawn as all the anxiety left his body.I then started healing his other side and he told me that he worries about the little one falling off. He is so caring that this has become a burden to him. I told him that he needed to relax and trust in his new relationship. Blue sighed and then drifted into a very deep sleep and became very wobbly on his feet until it all became to much and he laid down and slept.The change of home for a horse can be a traumatic experience. Never knowing where you are going, what the people will be like. For some ponies because they are grown out off and they are moved on to make way for the new bigger horse. Some horses tell me they are a disappointment to people for they can see no other reason why they are moved on.   Talk to the horses if you are having to find them a new owner tell them why. Also give them time to say goodbye not only to their horse friends but also with you......................x
