I was treating a horse, working through the tension in his back, when he suddenly did a huge stretch – just like a cat arching its back – drawing his neck up with his head tucked in!
He chose to hold it for a few seconds, and when he came out of it, he had a completely different look about him.
The tension had released; he was standing taller, and his eye was softer. Moments like that give me a huge sense of achievement and make me feel so grateful for the work I do.
