Evolving over millions of years, horses are creatures of perfection allowing them to survive as a prey animal out on the open plains. Unfortunately humans have taken them away from their natural environment and have forced them to live in a totally unnatural way. Amazingly these wonderful animals have allowed us to do this to them.

But at what cost?

All horses suffer from stress at some level. Science has confirmed that constant stress will lead to an increased risk of illness and injury. Should we be surprised that horses have as many issues as they do in their lives?

It is up to us as horse lovers to repay horses for their generous spirit in the best way we can. At Holistic Horse we see that using Reiki on a regular basis can help reduce stress levels and therefore aid in keeping our equine friends healthy and injury free. We firmly believe in the saying  "Prevention is better than cure!" All too frequently we are approached to visit an animal as a last resort. Certainly we can and do help in many of these situations but it would be great if we were called before people and their animals become so desperate.
