There’s a first time for everything.
Before I entered this young thoroughbred filly’s stall I was warned she could be “spicy” but she enjoyed her very first body work session so much that she went from being unsure and nervous to head hanging and acting sedated, just as I finished up her first side I said to the trainer “if she could she would lay down and let me work on her” it wasn’t even 2 minutes later this filly did just that, laid down flat out with her side that needed to be worked on, up so I finished her massage and energy work while she slept, as soon as I was completed the soft tissue work she woke up stood, allowed her structural balancing and was an absolute pleasure to work on.
While I have worked on sore horses who were already down when I got to them, Foxy is the first to ever lay down mid session flat out and catch some REM’s for the remainder of her session. Clearly she felt very comfortable with what was being done.
