What problems can reiki help horses with?
Examples of how reiki can help your horse
Many horse owners report improved quality of life, resilience, and behavioural changes after regular Reiki sessions.
For example, a horse with both chronic lameness and ulcers might benefit from Reiki as it can:
- Relax the nervous system, reducing pain-related stress
- Helping shift out of fight-or-flight mode (which aggravates ulcers)
- Supporting emotional release related to past trauma
A horse who is highly reactive, sensitive and spooky might benefit from reiki as it can:
- Promote deep relaxation leading to reduced reactivity and spookiness
- Helps release emotional trauma or tension
- Increase trust and connection with owner
- Improve body awareness and comfort - reducing anxiety
