Got Issues?
March 27, 2018
This afternoon found me heading toward Darwell, Alberta. I was on my way to talk to Stony Plain Spring Tack Sale draw winner’s horse. Gloria Byer had won the draw, however usually when a horse owner enters the draw; it’s the horse that wins. I would soon find out what Gloria’s horse had to say.
The weather was not the greatest a few hours before I left but the sky cleared, the highways were bare and dry as I made my way to Darwell. I turned west just as Gloria’s directions had guided me. However I ended up driving a bit too far and ended up one range road west of Gloria’s house. After texting and being redirected, I headed to their home. On the way I noticed I was not feeling too happy. I felt kind of cranky and anxious. I could feel some anger rising in my sacral chakra and solar plexus. I knew it wasn’t me. I have nothing to be cranky about so it made sense that Gloria’s mare most likely had issues. Just as I clued in that it was the mare’s energy making me feel this way, I heard her start talking to me. She gave me some information but asked me NOT to tell her owner what she said to me when I arrived. I agreed and within minutes I was at their home.
I greeted Gloria and informed her that her mare had already been talking to me. I reasoned out loud that her mare’s emotional state and resistance was most likely the reason I went to the wrong place. Sally, the mare needed some time to get used to the idea that Gloria would be hearing what Sally had to say. Sally had trust issues and was testing me to see if I would do what I said I would do and not tell Gloria what she’d told me on the drive there. I did explain to Gloria that Sally asked me not to tell her what she’d said and since I agreed, I didn’t have much to tell her. Yet.
In cases like this I explain to the horse owner that my energy is different, kind of strange for some horses and can feel big and invasive, like the horses can’t hide things from me. In Sally’s case, she was testing me to see if I would keep my word to her. I did.
Gloria and I headed to Sally’s pasture. As we entered the gate and walked a few steps in, I heard Sally say, “Don’t come any closer,” so we stopped. I waited to hear from her again. She said we could take a step or two closer so we did. Finally after a few minutes of talking Sally let us walk into her space. Gloria remarked, “Usually she comes right up to me.” My answer was that I was there and Sally wasn’t sure she wanted me to be there to speak for her. Sally wanted to make sure I would actually say what she wanted to say and not make it up.
It didn’t take long for Sally to begin explaining that she didn’t really like being a mare. She didn’t value herself because she was a female. She thought it made her weak and less wanted. She also had ovary issues so while we talked I sent healing to this area. Sally had offered that in the spring, she feels kind of cranky, tight in that area and wanted Gloria to warm up that area before she rode it. We discussed putting a light blanket over her rump after putting Sally’s saddle on for a while before she rides. By this time Sally was very trusting and I was able to reveal everything she had told me on the drive over. You know, the information she asked me not to share with Gloria. So Gloria was able to hear what Sally had said on the drive over, and it was okay for me to reveal it.
At the end of the session Gloria asked if Sally liked her name. Immediately Sally said no. She didn’t say she wanted a new name, she just didn’t like the one she had.
Sally was relieved that she was able to talk with her owner. She thanked me at the end of the session with a nibble. Her energy felt so much better, it felt kinder, softer, lighter and definitely not so cranky. Her eye and the way she held her head definitely looked better! I asked Gloria if she noticed the difference and she agreed.
I always say that the horse that needs to talk always wins the draw when I offer it at the Stony Plain Tack Sale. This spring Sally was the winner, even though it was Gloria who’d put the entry in. I love it when that happens.
