The calm and beauty of the countryside is magnificent as was the learning experience. Classroom and practical sessions with horses allowed us to start to understand how the essential oils, powders, clays herbs and more could be used.
About a year later I attended another weekend of Level 2 coaching. I, along with a few others attended on-line, whilst the majority were on site. The technical set up worked amazingly both in the classroom and in each horse's stable.
Level 2 goes deeper into the theory of zoopharmacognosy, and allows the participants to use their own ideas and suggestions when working with the horses.
Personally I love the fact that it is always the horse that choses. They are not held at all. Joining in is totally up to them.
Personally I have seen some very clear reactions and have had one owner say that without the oils she probably wouldn't still have her horse. I am just a real novice who is fascinated.To learn properly go to one of Carly's courses at Whitethorn Farm"
