At the beginning of November, I was away for 10 days attending an Animal Normalization Therapy (ANT) certification class, adjusting to the seasonal changes, and adopting a six-year-old Border collie to mentor our 5-month-old puppy. The horses were pretty much on the back burner, partly because the concern that Jillie’s brain was not 100% on board continued to gnaw at me. I needed some time to weigh my options.
I had plenty of evidence that Jillie’s brain is not functioning properly.
Since I began making the needs and comfort of the horses in my care the top priority, I have been led to exam modalities ranging from complementary, to alternative, to just plain “out there.” My belief systems have been questioned at every turn and now, here sits a mare who is presenting yet another challenge to me. My initial response is to put on the brakes and stall out in overwhelm (I’m working on that! J), but with nowhere else to go, I get it together and jump down the rabbit hole.
To get Jillie the help she needs to normalize brain function I turned to a practitioner who has experience in the field of Quantum Energetics (QE), among other things.
Briefly, several QE corrections were done with Jillie in conjunction with muscle testing to target and direct them. Jillie’s responses ranged from mild relaxation to more dramatic demonstrations with some violent kicking of the right hind during one of the holds. Throughout a correction for “avulsion of Dura Mater,” she pawed the air with her right front leg, and when the release took place, her face was strained, nostrils wrinkled. She immediately began to yawn and soften and roll and flip her eyes. This went on for some time and that is when we decided to stop and give her time to process.
Can I explain what went on during this work? No, I cannot, but as my friend who witnessed the session with Jillie said, “There’s no denying that something was happening.”
Has Jillie settled down? No, and I have to laugh because I mentioned what a drama queen she is to a friend who has 3 Arabians and she said her chestnut mare is the same way, adding, “It’s a redhead thing with these horses.” For now, that’s as good an explanation as any. That and some vibrational remedies to support Jillie’s changes and help her deal with the perceived pain of neuralgia will carry us to the next phase of our progress.

Observable changes since this work include the fact that her hind legs are more under her, offering visibly more support when standing and they are placed with more purpose in movement. Her inclination to move diagonal pair of legs while backing is improving.

- irregularity of gait patterns
- lack of coordination and balance
- the mysterious nature of her fall at the vet’s office when sedated for her dental exam where she held her head up the entire time and got up when asked
- the Applied Kinesiology (AK) exam that revealed she had an imbalance in the right cerebellum of her brain that was preventing neurological messages from arriving at their intended destinations and resulting in some muscles being “turned off.”
