The Magic of Reiki with Valee More
My horse Roger started this nodding of his head and dropping his shoulder on the left rein only. When I rode on the right rein and in straight lines there were no signs of lameness at all. He had had physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment and they found nothing with either of these treatments, although these treatments did him no harm at this particular time they did not help either.
I was having a dressage lesson with my instructor and when I changed the rein the lameness was very apparent so much that my instructor thought it best we end the lesson.
I had my vet call out to scope my horse. He was first put on the lunge, no signs of lameness. I had had him x-rayed the year prior and the x-ray was clean so I knew it could not have been anything there. He performed a flexion test that too was good, my horse is 14 and I was pretty happy with that result. We trotted him up and down. I hopped on him and rode in straight lines, nothing showed, I rode on the right rein, fine. Changed to the left rein, not good, in fact very bad. In a nutshell the vet admitted he did not know what we were dealing with.
I gave him bute for 10 days, there was no change in him at all. That in its self halved the possible problems
The lady who grooms my dog told me about this Reiki treatment. I use Bowen therapy on my horse during my competing season and this really works well for us as a good maintenance, so I’m not afraid to try alternative treatments and proceeded to call Valee to make an appointment.
Valee came around and worked on Roger. I have to say he looked pretty sad that day however after her treating him, he was actually talking to me I suppose saying thanks.
Valee found troubled areas in his pole, jaw, left front knee, shoulder etc. I did not ride him for that week but did ride after the second treatment. We were in the forest and his whole attitude was really up beat (he’s a pretty upbeat horse anyway but he was really happy and listening) I then worked him in the arena and I was amazed that the problem had completely disappeared. I really thought that I was going to be looking for another horse this season and that he would simply become a paddock mate. I’m so grateful to have been put onto Valee, and I know that my horse is grateful that he has been heard.
I recommend this treatment to everyone, not only on horses but anything that can possibly be treated with it. I’m not going to say it will solve all problems you have but it certainly is a fantastic starting point and it worked for us.
I have a friend who is a total skeptic and laughed at me when I told her about this treatment, and if she had not seen how bad my horse was and how cured he was after the treatments she would not have believed it.
