Nap time for Spirit, Hungarian circus pony

After several visits for healing, many bandage changes, lots of love and affection, kisses from the farrier (when he thought no one was looking!), encouragement from his cell mate – Blacky, lots of homeopathy and buckets of tears, the dreaded day of the vets visit arrived.

Spirit and Blacky had taken to having a mid-morning nap in their stables and unfortunately this was just the time the vet chose to arrive; seeing Spirit on the floor. Jessica tried to explain how they both have a mid – morning snooze but Spirit had been on his feet and doing so much better that week. No matter how she put the words she was sounding desperate and the vet knew it, he was still worried to see Spirit down. Jessica brought Spirits favourite treat to entice him to his feet; it worked, his love for food made him stand, certainly not majestically but he managed it and wandered around the stable hauling his heavily bandaged, turned under foot with him.

After sedating Spirit (the teeth still worked fine!) he inspected the foot to find pus coming from it which, in my mind is good as the body is pushing it out, this together with seeing Blacky also asleep in his stable gave the vet a little hope. He re-bandaged and tentatively gave Spirit another week to progress but continually told Jessica how he had seen this before and it always ends in tears…. We had another week to rally together for him.

Spirit the Hungarian circus pony: Biggest challenge yet!

His knee was in need of some healing but not as much as his foot on the same leg. The foot was not hot but the healing was quite intense, I pointed out to Jessica where inside the foot I felt the healing was aiming at, she looked worried as it suggested the Pedal bone may have dropped, which can ultimately mean putting Spirit to sleep. I finished the healing by trying to convince Spirit once again that he was very much loved and should not worry.

When I give emotional healing to a person I will end by trying to pull any negative and wasted thoughts or emotions out and up from their head; this makes them feel much lighter, emotionally. It always fascinates me to see how the rubbish comes out in my minds eye: it can be in cardboard boxes, silver trays, pirate chests, paper bags even tea cups, each one seems to relate to the individuals past. Never though, have I needed to remove such rubbish from the head of an animal…. Until this day…. Spirit is so like a human in his mind that for the first time, I found myself removing unwanted thoughts and feelings from an animal; a spirited, lovable rouge with a fluffy ginger head. His rubbish came out in buckets but very reluctantly.

Jessica called the Vet in the following day who x-rayed the foot: it revealed the worst possible case of the Pedal bone having rotated and dropped but still had some hoof protecting it. The Vet could not believe Spirit was still standing. His foot was re-shaped to help him cope and wrapped in a huge bandage. When I saw how the bone had moved it made me think about Spirit’s past in the circus, the acrobatic posses he was made to do and wondered if he had been walking in such a manner for so many years it moved both the knee and foot into a bad position. After all, the knee was permanently wrong until we put it right, which in-turn may have made his foot move back to the correct position for natural walking but now the Pedal bone needed to catch up with it all! 

Had we really done Spirit a favour by putting his knee right in the first place? ….. Yes, I think we did, it may be a long and frustrating journey but I hope that, as my guides said right  from the start; ‘it is the knee’ and that everything else will follow suit by getting better too.

The vet told Jessica if Spirit was no better by the following week she should consider having him put to sleep!!  Our biggest challenge yet was upon us.

Spirit, Hungarian circus pony: sting in his tail

Spirit was doing well for a while until poor Jessica had another trauma with Blacky: he managed to breath a bug up his nostril which decided to sting him, causing anaphylactic shock to set into Blacky’s body, his face swelled like the Vet had never seen before. As Blackys stable is alongside Spirit’s and has a dividing wall that Blacky can see over, Spirit was privy to all the discomfort and drama Blacky was going through. 

Spirit found himself stressing back to his past life once more, imagining the loss of his big friend. Jessica tried to comfort Spirit whilst coping with Blacky but the inevitable stress brought on Spirits lameness once more.

Blacky was dosed up with the Vets drugs which did the trick and by the end of the next day his face was far more recognisable, though a couple of other lumps on his body were taking longer to go. Spirit, however was now feeling the effects of his stress again as he hobbled on the toe of his front foot.

As I arrived on the yard I had to say hello to Spirit first lest he threw a tantrum, then on to give Blacky some healing. Once done I focused on Spirit; I found myself somewhat frustrated that I was merely healing each onset of Spirit’s ailments and not getting to the bottom of his continued lameness. I tuned into my guides: Buster Lloyd Jones, Charles Siddle and now a new guide called Lesley for help. 

Right from the first time I met Spirit I knew his intelligence had a lot to do with his stress, which in turn upsets his body, but since then we had straightened his deformed leg, sorted his back and adjusted his feet, loosing sight of the reason he stresses: his intelligence and long memory.

When I asked my guides what was causing the lameness in Spirit I was given an emphatic answer: ‘It’s the knee’. Fine, the answer was so sure, I had no doubt they were correct. Jessica held his teeth at bay whilst I set about giving his knee some strong healing….
