Spirit,Hungarian circus pony dreams of Saint Tropez

Spirit has certainly had SPIRIT throughout his life and even more so during the trying time with his poorly front feet; He has gone from Aladin Slippers to dainty toes, handmade shoes with rubber inserts, Knees that would not bend, a dramatic day with the vet and Playdough yet he still walks on. He is a pony with a zest for living and poorly feet will not stop him!

Now Jessica’s dear farrier John, has come up with another ingenious idea to help Spirit move with comfort; FLIP-FLOPS! Yes, those wonderful soft rubber beach shoes that slip between your toes; FLIP-Flops for Spirit. John could be seen wandering around the local clothes shop picking up all manner of shoes and other items, bending and squeezing them to imagine how they might work. When he came across the FLIP-FLOPS at £4.00 a pair his hunting was over; armed with four pairs of assorted colours he proceeded to the check-out.

The flip-flops were cut to shape and glued to Spirit’s front feet, within an hour Spirit was tripping across the gravel driveway as if he was on a beach in Saint Tropez much to Jessica and John’s delight.. Down the track he ambled marching round to eat the lawn in the front garden then back round past the goose feed and home... all on hard ground.

I’m not sure how long they will last over the gravel but at that price he can have as many as he likes in all different colours!

Tazz dog

Dear Tazz became weak on Sunday, his legs were struggling to lift him and he seemed happy to stay in his bed. 

I saw him on Tuesday; his Chi (energy) was very weak, Sheila and I were in agreement that Tazz had decided it was time to move on to the next life. He was not in any distress or pain, just weak. As with all owners, I suggested Sheila told Tazz that it was okay for him to go, she would miss him but she would be all right. This often gives the animal or person permission to let go..... seems she had already done so!

Tazz passed away quietly on Wednesday from old age. It was a privilege to have known both Tazz and his family.

Spirit's Playdough!

Paul did his magic on Spirit’s other front foot to make a new shape and size, a new x-ray of it was taken and Paul was happy to carry on with Spirit’s new shoes!.... until he offered up the smallest shoe available... It was far too big for Spirit’s tiny feet; it could not be done.

Paul was not about to give up after all his efforts. He rummaged in his truck and re-appeared with a pair of aluminium shoes, glue, special card (not red!) and playdough  (yes, the stuff kids play with!).

For the next fifteen minutes Paul created two new shoes, glued to Spirit’s feet with a rubber cushion and a wad of Playdough protecting the delicate part of his soles.

All the actors in Spirit’s play were pleased with the end result... including sleepy Spirit. 

The next few days or weeks would tell if it was enough to allow Spirit to walk normally and continue to enjoy his tricks, doing his rodeo, rolling, biting, chasing, watching over orphaned ducks, carrying saws, throwing bricks, dismantling electric fences, eating five packs of Polos, limbo dancing under the fencing, sneaking the goose feed from the dustbin and being the life and soul of Blacky, Jessica and all on the farm.

The Look

'The Look' is the wonderful moment of connection between myself and the animal I am giving healing to.

Generally an initial visit to Helen The Healer is fraught with questions from the animal; Where am I going, is it the vet? Am I going to be left there? Will it hurt? Am I going to have any needles or thermometers put in nasty places? All these questions and more race through the poor animal’s mind so it is no wonder they are suspicious of me at first.

I will have a chat with the owner first whilst the animal either, has a good sniff around the room trying to figure out its purpose, or snuggles in as close as possible to his owner’s legs for protection.

Then the dancing starts: I join the animal on the floor and send him healing whilst trying to gain his trust, having managed to place my hand on him I’ll start to put calm energies through. He will stay still for a minute or two, enjoying the feeling then come to his senses with a jolt realising it is a weird feeling he has never felt before so instinct will kick in; instinct to move away from the unknown. He will walk away from me, but not so far that I cannot follow, where he will settle back down again, almost taunting me to do it again.

I crawl across the floor to where he is settled and we start the healing again.

This can go on for three or four times before he gives me ‘The Look’; No matter which way he is looking he will swiftly and precisely turn his head to look me straight in the eyes with a look that says ‘Is that you doing that?’ I smile and calmly say out loud ‘Yes that’s me.’ Where he will be satisfied to then settle completely on the floor to receive the rest of the lovely energy pulsing through his body, often so relaxed he will fall asleep.
