Benjamin had his first official PEMF session the other day. I have draped the coils over his stall door for him but have never taken him out and attempted to put them near him.
It has taken many many months for him to truly accept touch. For a while he would cooperate for touch but did not enjoy it or relax when being touched. This was especially true for his right side. Forcing any type of bodywork on a horse is not something I believe in. So we did lots of work on breathing out when touched and making touch a positive thing - making sure he was never being touched when he was going into freeze mode.
Long story short the other day I thought he was ready to have a short session. He was fine putting the coils on and, although very distracted by the neighbor building a fence, he did a great job and had a few baby releases!
Those of you who know of him or have met him know what a HUGE deal this is. He carries so much trauma and tension in his body and now with the help of this boy is finally starting to see that touch and people can mean something good! Will try to get a video during his next session.
