Lewis is a 20-year old Hanoverian Gelding.

Before his first healing session, Lewis had been dealing with multiple health issues. He was always dull in the coat and drankand urinated excessively. Lewis was tested for Cushings, and we then treated him with Pergolide.

This further supressed his appetite and caused lethargy. He refused food for many months and I retired him to a paddock again.

For many months, we struggled with coughing, respiration and nasal discharge. Again his appetite was an enormous issue. We spent months on antibiotics and appetite stimulants. We had to keep him away from the herd as he was always bullied out of food.

It was like Lewis had given up. He seemed depressed, always standing under a tree, not interacting with other horses. He was clumsy with his hoofs and stumbled often.

After the healing session, these were the significant changes that have occurred.

His physical health and energy have lifted. He is engaging with people by choice, meeting them at the gate. He has stronger boundaries and now won’t share his feed. He is standing up for himself in the herd. He now plays and gallops and dances with the herd, no clumsy movement, which his carer has never seen him do in the 3 years his been with her.

He is behaving like a younger horse and doing fancy dressage movements on trail rides – his carer says he is a crack up. Feels like he can carry the load when being ridden and loves it. No more cough. No snot and increased appetite, just can’t fill him.

He has been keen to return to the herd for grazing and play. He loves rolling. So much more energy and a return to the saddle. He is standing up for himself and his boundaries.
