One day I sat at my computer doing some work when an email found its way into my inbox. I paused to take a look and saw that it was a horse breeder seeking a massage. She wanted her horses done and asked me to come out to her operation. As she told me she had 15 horses I arranged for an examination of the horses to hand pick which one needed the massage done. After spending some time at her place I chose an older mare as my first client with her.
Angel was tight through out her body. When I started massaging her, she did some dancing around but I stuck with her, gently talking and stroking her neck with one hand. After a while Angel settled down and allowed me to massage her without fuss. I focused mainly on her neck, shoulder, lower back, and hindquarters. Angel soon relaxed into my hands. Her head lowered and she licked and chewed in understanding and relief. I smiled knowing that Angel was feeling better.
I walked away from the session feeling pleased, and my happiness went up when the breeder contacted me several days later. She excitedly told me that Angel was now cantering in the pastures and being her old, Alfa mare self. As Angel was feeling good, she rolled and kicked, and played like a young filly. Wow! Angel moves like an angel!
