Iโ€™m always fascinated by the process of watching horses choose their own essential oils. Itโ€™s a quiet, intuitive ritual that tells you so much about what they need in the moment. I use doTERRA oils exclusively because I trust their purity and the care taken in their sourcing.

In the wild, horses naturally seek out different plants throughout the seasons. These plantsโ€”often potent and aromaticโ€”are thought to address both physiological and psychological needs. By offering essential oils, we give domesticated horses a way to tap into that same instinct.

I typically carry six different oils with me to each session. At the start, I let the horse explore the options. Sometimes theyโ€™ll choose more than one; other times, theyโ€™re not interested at all. Certain oils even seem to be seasonal favoritesโ€”Cypress and Lavender often make the shortlist during particular times of the year.

Horses experience smell in a very different way than we do. They must smell through each nostril, and unlike humans, their olfactory bulbs donโ€™t cross over. This means they process scents uniquely, and the subtle differences matter to them.

When offering oils, I look for three possible responses:

1. No โ€“ The horse turns away after sniffing, clearly declining.

2. Neutral โ€“ The horse accepts the scent but shows no strong reaction. Itโ€™s fine to use, but not essential for them at that moment.

3. Yes โ€“ The horse tries to take the bottle right from your hand. Hold on tightโ€”this is their way of saying, โ€œI need this!โ€

In todayโ€™s session, Cloud demonstrated all three responses perfectly. The last oil he tried earned an emphatic โ€œyes!โ€โ€”Wild Orange, one of his absolute favorites.

Itโ€™s moments like this that remind me how deeply intuitive and self-aware horses are. All we have to do is offer the choice and pay attention to their answer.

Enjoy!

It not only fills my heart but also lets me know that the work Iโ€™m doing with your horse is truly supporting their healing and well-being.

I recently received a beautiful message from a client who owns a lovely Thoroughbred gelding named Taz. Over a year ago, Taz suffered a mysterious injury while out in the field. Although the exact cause of the injury was never determined, he was clearly not himselfโ€”unable to jump and remaining very stiff, especially struggling with his right lead. He had received acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments, which offered some relief, but something was still missing.

A few months ago, I began working with Taz. I immediately noticed he was extremely restricted through his lumbar region and right shoulder. He was so sensitive that he would fidget when I worked in those areas. After just one session, we saw improvementโ€”and he continued to progress from there. His sensitivity subsided, and he now enjoys full sessions. Best of all, he's back to jumping and is feeling better than ever.

This morning, I received the following update from his owner:

I had a deeply rejuvenating myofascial release session todayโ€”just for me! This powerful modality never ceases to amaze me. It gently restores range of motion by releasing fascial restrictions, allowing the body to move with greater freedom and ease.

Now itโ€™s time to hydrate and rest up, because tomorrow is a full day of working with horses ๐Ÿด. Iโ€™ll be bringing these same techniques to help them feel balanced, comfortable, and at their best.

I care for myself so I can care for themโ€”with presence, energy, and heart.

It's Saturday!
I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far. I'm still catching up after my trip, so my plans include getting some movement in (a good hike!), tackling some house cleaning (ughโ€ฆ but satisfying), running a few errands, and then wrapping up the day by celebrating my sweet sisterโ€™s birthday with the family.

What are your weekend plans?

Wishing you an amazing one!
