Conker by Jane (6 Treatment Course)
Conker is a 16.1 hh Bay Thoroughbred Gelding (ex-racehorse). I have had him for almost 12 years. He is 23 years old!
He is a real Jekyll & Hyde. One day calm and well-behaved, the next a complete stress head - you can't do a thing with!
He
naps, rears, bucks, whips round, box walks, weaves and bites when having
rugs on and off. Many different people have attempted to 'school' him.
They usually conclude, this is just the way he is - you can't change
him. He has had back teeth checked. He has even had an endoscopy to
check for stomach ulcers! All tests are negative!
When Lisa first began the reiki sessions, Conker was very resistant to them and wouldn’t settle. After the first 2 sessions he began to show acceptance (chewing and licking, resting leg on appropriate side etc, which is what she said to look for) By the end of the course of treatment he was dozing off during the sessions!
Since completing the course of treatment he has certainly become much calmer! When he does become stressed, he is able to calm down, rather than these episodes escalating into full blown panic attacks.
Lisa also did a joint session with me riding him – this has helped me to deal with the stress more too! I have certainly seen a difference in Conker. He is calmer most of the time.
Sam with Opal
Opal is a 16 hand thoroughbred mare, she has many different physical problems, as well as many behavioural issues, including spooking, spinning and high levels of anxiety. She is the lead mare at my current yard, which seems to cause her an immense amount of stress too.
My experience of Lisa reiking Opal was very positive, not only does she love the relaxing reiki treatment, but our relationship immediately improved as i had an understanding of her issues. I know that these are now being treated and I look forward to having a great relationship with a healthy happy horse.
