I purchased my mare, Apple, many years ago. She had a very sad beginning. Her owner was arrested, and her property seized. At the time of her arrest, there were two helpers working, and a limited amount of hay. Because the Federal Government would not allow a dispersal sale of the horses, they slowly starved.
Apple was the most pathetic weanling I have ever seen. My friend bought her, and fed her back to health. She became a wonderful riding horse. I bought her when she was about 12 years old. Naturally, I gave her every kindness, and fed her well. But, she always had a “chip” on her shoulder. She would snap her teeth at me for no reason, and once actually bit me. I decided to take her to Brenda Keeney for treatment.
I don’t know all that Brenda did. She engaged with her for a while, and then started working with her. Brenda told me that she had to get Apple to a place that they were both ready to work with each other. She said that the work she did was to release some gut issues that Apple had from being starved, and from the trauma. She also said that her and Apple worked together physically and energetically to release the trauma.
After one treatment, Apple never bit me again or even tried to bite me. Following the session, and now, she has remained very calm, and without any apparent resentment or sign of a “chip.” Thanks to Brenda!
