One of the things I love the most about sessions with horses is giving them the chance to choose. In a life that is often structured for them, (usually for very good reasons) they really relish that they have options in their time with me.
This sweet mare has a wonderful owner who listens well to her, so she is more than happy to tell me what she wants.
After a full sampling of all my essential oils in the “toy box”, we put them away and moved on. At the close of her session she went straight to the box and started pulling out bottles on her own accord.
The absolute coolest part of this is she only pulled out the bottles she had previously picked to interact with when offered.
Smart? Brilliant.
I love horses and I love this work 🧡
