Product Description

Over the last few years there has been a revolution in the way we think about horses. At last we have clear ideas about how horses see the world, and about how they feel about themselves and the things we ask them to do. This book helps us to put these insights to work. Emotional Healing for Horses and Ponies brings together the skills of expert horsewoman and animal behaviourist Heather Simpson and those of leading Bach flower remedy experts Stefan Ball and Judy Howard. Together they describe how complementary medicine and simple changes in handling and housing routines can immeasurably improve the lives of our horses. Anybody who has been inspired by the tales of horse whisperers will find in this book practical steps that we can all take to give our horses happier and more joyful lives.

A wonderful read if you are into Bach and horses 20 Mar 2002

By Mirjam Terlingen

Format:Paperback

There are many books about Bach Flower Remedies and many books about horses. There even are a few on both. But Stefan Ball and Judy Howard have really written a masterpiece with the help of Heather Simpson this time! Emotional Healing is not only very easy to read, but will also give a very good understanding of how to use BFR with horses, what to look for, which remedies are for what situation. Even if you are not very familiar with the BFR, this book will give you a very good idea of how to help your horse get through emotional or even physical problems.

You will find good information on all 38 remedies, about how to choose for horses, and how to offer them the remedies. The book will then continue to explain different situations more in detail, and at the end offer some case histories. If you still feel lost (which i find hard to believe) there is a reference list on where to find more information at the end of the book, with very usefull addresses.

Of all the books i have read about BFR and animals, this is probably the most accurate one!

How to use the Bach Flower Remedies with Your Horse 22 July 2007

By Maureen Harmonay - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

If your horse's behavior has you stymied, and the tried and true training techniques have failed to yield results, this book may help.

Emotional Healing for Horses and Ponies sheds light on the equine view of the world, which is often so very different from our own. Authors Stefan Ball, Heather Simpson, and Judy Howard remind us that most of all, horses are prey animals, and everything they think and feel is filtered through that prism.

They address a host of what we often perceive as difficult or puzzling behaviors, not only explaining the horse's perspective but offering specific advice on the appropriate uses for the various Bach Flower Remedies, which work on a vibrational level to bring emotions into balance.

Among the common dilemmas they address are trailer and travel problems, fear and anxiety, boredom, aggression, and grief. Rather than simply prescribing one particular remedy as a cure-all for a particular situation, the authors stress the importance of understanding the root cause of the behavior, because there are subtle nuanced differences in the ways in which each remedy will affect the nervous system.

For example, if a horse is fearful of entering a trailer for no apparent reason, Mimulus might be helpful. If you know that the horse's refusal is a result of a previous traumatic experience, then you might try Star of Bethlehem. If the horse is simply balking because of wariness of a new experience, then Walnut might be in order. Or if a horse panics and completely loses control, Rescue Remedy could be just the thing to ease the stress.

The authors provide a glossary of the vibrational qualities and equine uses for each of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies, with advice as to how to administer them. They have packed this slim volume with dozens of stories and examples of how the remedies, coupled with other types of intervention, can ameliorate "the stress of living with people." If you own or work with horses, it's an invaluable guide.
