Take the pressure off

I had a lovely healing with a horse this week. I was talking to Gill Mo's owner and Mo told me that she didn't want to be clipped. I asked Gill if she had been talking about clipping Mo and she confirmed that she was going to do it after my visit. I told her what Mo had said and suggested she leave it for a while. Gill is a lovely lady and she has had Mo for about 18 months. When I last visited they were starting to form a relationship and were getting on really well until an injury caused Mo to go on box rest for a number of weeks, during this time their relationship had changed.I scanned Mo over and felt that her energy was not flowing. It was standing still and we needed to get it flowing so that she felt lighter. I started healing and the word "pressure" came to me from Mo. Again and again "pressure" and then pictures of Mo and Gill happy and connecting together.I turned to Gill and told her what Mo was showing me. She confirmed that everything had been going great and then the injury happened and some where along the way things had changed. Gill confirmed that she had become nervous of Mo and that some one else had been riding her. Nothing terrible had happened but Gill in the past had a dreadful fall and her mind was playing big games with her. As well as this everyone around her was telling her to get on with it. This was putting Gill under pressure, so Mo was showing me how everything was for her and her Mum.I carried on healing and Mo nudged Gill's shoulder and then her own and looked at me. She was asking me to open a connection and I told her I would. I placed my hand on Mo's shoulder and then on Gill's and asked Gill to put her hand on Mo and talk to her in her head. I asked her to take what ever came to her as this would be Mo's reply. We stood there for a long while and the connection between them both was very strong. Mo then started licking and chewing and her eyes became heavy as she started yawn and yawn. The energy around us became lighter and the pressure for the moment was off.I carried on healing Mo and she relaxed and the energy started to flow, I then talked to Gill for a while doing breathing techniques and mind control with her. I also pointed out that Mo does not care if they are galloping over the hills or jumping jumps what is more important is a solid relationship built on trust and love. It can be very difficult when everyone around you is telling you what you should be doing. What you have to do is say that that may be right for them but it is not right for you and walk away, this way the pressure is being taken off.Never underestimate the power of the mind, I have lost my nerve before not because I had a fall but because my mind focused on falling off. If you have someone on your yard who is nervous do not judge them but offer support. Walking alongside and talking to them whilst they are riding will give them security and also help them to relax. We can not all be x-country riders but over coming your fears and building a strong relationship with your horse where you walk side by side can mean so much more......................
