Review

Want to tweak the competitive edge on your performance horse? Got an old, arthritic friend out in the pasture that you'd like to make more comfortable? Is you horse plagued by a soreness or stiffness that you'd like to relieve? Then energy balancing may unlock new wonders for you. Performed for years by trained practitioners across the country, energy balancing fits into alternative techniques for healing such as acupressure, light therapy and massage. Energy balancing can perhaps best be described by what it is not. It does not adjust any part of the body's structure (as in chiropractics) and does not replace the services of a veterinarian if medical treatment is necessary. What is suggested, rather, is a "realignment" of the body's energy field, allowing for pain relief, relaxation, or healing. Energy balancing is a complement to other medical and non-medical healing techniques. The after-effects of this gentle procedure have rendered stiff horses more flexible, anxious horses more calm, and horses in pain more comfortable, changing attitudes and convincing horse owners by its sometimes dramatic results. In her book, BASIC EQUINE ENERGY BALANCING, Pat Young brings the technique literally to our fingertips. No longer left to the realm of the voodoo artists that might chance to visit the barn, this simple but subtle practice is described and illustrated in a straight-forward style. Having an interest in alternative healing techniques, and having submitted my own body to the relief of therapeutic massage, chiropractics, acupucture, and naturopathic medicine, I was curious to see for myself what energy balancing might do for my horses. I gained a better understanding that our horses are not simply the "live vehicles" that we view them to be. They may be suffering from pain, stress or anxiety far more often than we like to believe - especially those that are pushed to perform, are going through the breeding process, including weaning, or have suffered an injury that hasn't healed. For these reasons, energy balancing is a tool that would fit well in every dedicated rider's little black medicine bag. -- Rocky Mountain Rider --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
