Going to throw up a brief update since it's been a good while!
Keeping horses fed, watered, giving various meds and supplements to my high needs groups, and lots of trimming keeps winter busy! Weather has been too unpredictable for many lessons or EAL...
I do have one small group of girls though that did a trial going to Forestburg arena for our group session which was a treat! Lexi, Munchkin, Butterscotch were champs for humering the kids in their outing!
The Arab/Icelandic cross rescue we got Dec 31 - Sage - had X-rays beginning of February and very good news from the vet!! Minimum rotation of pedal bones, no sinking, and her best guess was abscess for her one extra lame foot... 3 weeks after X-rays she's barely limping! Will need to continue her frequent rehab trims but it is such a relief to have such tangible progress in under 2 months ❤️‍🩹
Lexi also had X-rays, we've been working blind on presumed navicular rehab for a few years now, still battling intermittent lameness. Navicular was confirmed, no rotation, no other abnormalities! And a few weeks later with another trim and bodywork session she was looking really comfortable - so grateful 🙏

Welcoming Sage to the herd. We are not a rescue organization. But I think we might need to start looking for rescue sponsors 🥺

It's been such a wintery winter already. But there's something magical about the soft light and extra white fluffy sparkles on everyone and everything. As we head towards the New Year, it's a great time to refocus on the beauty of each moment despite any discomfort.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 🎄⭐❄️🎁💖

Tis the season of frosted eye lashes 🤠🥶
Is there beauty even in this?
It got me studying eyes again. A window to the soul.
And noticing our different horses eyes.

Can you guess the breed by the eye?

Throw your guesses in the comments. Or maybe you even know which horse this is!

I recently saw a cool post on yawning, and it got me thinking. I will post a link to the original post in the comments for more context if anyone is interested.

It's easy in any area of healthcare or therapy or equine behavior to make broad assumptions based on what an experienced professional says, or your own experience... when it actually makes the most sense to take into account the individual horse and individual person.

I have a really cool gelding that comes up to me sometimes in the pasture and chews on my shoes, then yawns over and over - like 5 to 10 times. It doesn't happen THAT often, but I have had this experience with him several times and have had to process for myself. He often steps up to work with EAL clients too and loves it, and usually takes several sessions at least until he yawns with them. I have seen other horses yawn as well in EAL sessions, usually late in a session, and usually several sessions in.

Over time, I have put together that yawning indicates for people that they are READY to release, and tries to encourage them to release! Even helping them with parts of the body holding tension to release from. But just because a horse or person is yawning doesn't mean anyone has actually released anything - my experience is that they are probably close to it and it is an optimal time to really dig into what releases can happen in that moment. But it may also be a sign of processing as much as they can process for that session, and to note where that happens so the next session can dig into it fresh. Or sometimes when we get that far, release happens naturally in between sessions as it's processed over time.

Hence, when I feel I am doing my best work it's not a certain set of principles - it's just taking it case by case, moment by moment, bringing more curiosity and less preconceived notions as we go, instead of the other way around 💓

Updated the Heart Echo Equines website again, I still don't have all my equine profiles finished... But I HAVE brought the "in loving memory" section up to date, honoring horses who have touched our lives and no longer with us in some way (two sold, others passed away). I invite you to check out the website when you have a chance!
