Welcome to Horse Info.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to have had many experiences with horses. My own horses have taught me a great deal. But I have also been lucky to have made a part of my work as a Professional Horse Healer. I have met some wonderful horses and incredible people along the way. There have been successes and failures. It is a hard part of our job to realise that not everyone wants our help, even if their horses are screaming out to you.

Several years ago my fantastic little pony, Charlie, died tragically. He was only five years old. He was my soulmate pony and one of my best friends. His spirit was, and is, a soul that has walked with me before in this life, and will walk with me again. His death changed me.

At first I rebelled against my spirituality. His departure felt unfair. I had loved him deeply. We had made each other happy. The loss was unbearable, and the shock of the suddenness of his departure rendered me numb for many months. But the questions his death enabled me to ask, enabled me to grow.

I believe that out of sadness and pain comes the answers and the light of knowledge. For me it was a cathartic realisation that there is much more than we can ever hope to understand during our lifetime. I was unable to heal for a long time after Charlie's death. My animal communication skills dried up. I wondered what was happening, and I questioned it repeatedly.

One day - a while later - I gave up and let it go. As I did so, I was given privy to a wonderful connection to horses. I didn't notice it at first, but gradually I became aware that everything had changed. This had nothing to do with my work as a healer. Not yet. But it was everything to do with life and the horses. Suddenly I understood their pain, their stoic approach to life and the emotions that they struggled to deal with.

 


One of Charlie's first days with me

What I realised was that I knew nothing. I had been following a spiritual journey for eleven years. I had read all of the books, attended the workshops, done the study and continued my homework. But none of it was real.

I concluded that the horses had a vastly superior knowledge to me. The time came when I decided to hand over the role of teacher to them. I wanted to allow them to show me what to do. I needed to understand what they required from me. I also yearned to know what they wanted from life, and from the people who cared for them

The healing sessions began to change. Horses began to heal even before I touched them. Their hearts opened to the energy that was theirs to take, and theirs to share. I no longer felt like a channel for healing. I felt like a chat show host who was simply asking his guests for their opinions, based on my respect for them. Horses told me how they felt. But they did not tell me in words. They told me in feelings.

This new aspect allowed me to get totally out of my own way. I had been preaching this to my students for years. But now I truly knew what it meant. The information and stories contained in this web site will, I hope, give you some insight into the unique and special animal that we all know the horse is.

But whatever you think the horse is right now, trust me when I tell you ...

You haven't even seen the half of it yet....
