Meet Fancy Spin, a ten year old Bay Roan quarter horse mare.

Fancy Spin was bought by her current owner as a four year old and although seemed quiet in the ring at the sale yards, quickly proved to be a handful once back at home. She is nervous and head shy and was mostly likely mishandled during her early years.

Fancy Spin was bred and is trained in cutting but she has participated in cattle mustering and camp drafts as well. She has suffered a couple of injuries in the line of duty (with a side hit from a bull) and on assessment had notable issues with gait and tracking.

Fancy Spin’s owner was hoping that EMRT would help with the horses physical condition, performance and temperament.

During the first round of EMRT, Fancy Spin had obvious nervous and muscle tension that eased noticeable with different moves. Sighing, gut noises, licking, chewing, eyes closed and yawning are all signs that we look for to gauge the horse’s response to treatment. At the end of the first session, Fancy Spin remained calm and stood relaxed and ate quietly. After 48 hours, the owner reported that she was looking and feeling good.

During the second round of treatment, while Fancy Spin started out nervous and fidgety she was sleepy and calm by the end of it.  An interesting response to treatment was a strange exudate appearing on the surface of the skin around the lumbar spine and kidney region. The exudate was a hot, sticky ‘syrup’ like substance that was possibly connected to clearing the trauma and internal damage from the bull.  She went on to compete in a cutting show a week or so later and did well. The third round of EMRT had Fancy Spin starting out a lot calmer and happier and with a better gait at the outset.  She proceeded to relax more deeply after the treatment with all the signs we like to see of a horse who is relaxed and calm.

At the close of the three sessions, the owner reported that she was much calmer and friendlier, interacting more often with him in the paddock. It is hoped that the EMRT helped to remove the old emotional trauma from the previous injuries and also improve the physical structure and function of the muscles and organs, so she can be a happy horse.
