About a year later I attended another weekend of Level 2 coaching. 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 "
