Headshaking

I have been using the Equine Breathing technique on my herd of 4 horses for over a year now. The herd have become less anxious and amazingly have recovered from ailments I didn’t think were healable!

Kite was a severe 365 head shaker at rest and play, suffering breathing difficulties of RAO/COPD, painful muscles and weakness (including azoturia & chronic lameness problems), he always had a sensitive tummy and suffered weight issues and anxiety, he was later diagnosed with a heart murmur.

Amazingly completely without using drugs, Kite’s head shaking has improved 99% already, he no longer presents any symptoms of breathing difficulties, his weight has improved without extra feed and he is looking fabulous. Kite’s muscles have improved so much it’s a joy to see him have a jolly in the field now, his trot is beautiful! He still has healing to do and I’m so proud of him and his recovery so far. I hope one day the Equine Breathing training may even help his heart.

Chico was a very heavy breather with suspected COPD, he had very sore and twitchy muscles. Chico has made an incredible and quick recovery! His sore muscles went from very twitchy and tender, to very itchy. The itchiness from healing has now gone and he no longer has heavy breathing.

Elsie has a Heart arrhythmia, blind left eye (chronic keratitis) & early Cushings. I wasn’t expecting Elsie’s complex heart and eye related symptoms to heal, however, Elsie’s eye has improved dramatically and I am hoping the healing continues! Her arrhythmia had disappeared for a few months and her cushings symptoms have made so much progress including her coat shedding speed.

Finally Bella was another head shaker, she suffered problems with keeping weight on & high anxiety. Little Bella has gone from a high adrenaline pony, climbing over 5 bar gates, stable doors and 5ft fences to an easily managed cool pony staying behind standard 3ft high fence with zero problems. Her head shaking is almost non existent now and gaining weight is no longer an issue!

The learning process and herd recovery has been incredible! Thank you Clare and Equine Breathing for helping in ways I didn’t think were possible!

Le All Weather Breather est une grande réussite pour ma jument qui est soulagée dès qu'on lui met son AW. Les différences sont flagrantes et je peux enfin la remonter normalement. Elle supporte très bien le filet et je vois une réelle différence quand à sa vie au pré. En effet, avec le AW sur le nez, elle fait sa vie au pré. Sans, elle reste prostrée dans sa cabane et donne des grands coups de tête.

je suis vraiment contente que cet outil puisse la soulager. je vous remercie.

This is amazing! I have always focussed on harmony with my horses, but the leadership exercises together with the 1N breathing give me a much deeper and calmer feeling of total oneness with the horse.

I am using this for all the horses here and I can see results already. One fidgety, bitey type horse is still and relaxed and non-biting already. The headshaking mare is starting to enjoy the 1N a little more now. Another mare that would lose focus every time a bird chirped is calmer and more focussed.

Thank you so much for your lifework. It is very exciting.

J'ai decouvert Equine Breathing par le plus grand des hasards alors que je desesperais a trouver quoi que ce soit pr calmer le headshaking de Lulu, elle encensait au travail et elle commençait a le faire au pré. J'ai commencé la technique du 1N qui a été efficace a petite dose mais qui nous a soulage le premier été... ensuite les crises ont empiréées ne laissant pas de réépis l'hiver.

Je me suis decidee a investir dans un All Weather n'y croyant que faiblement.... et ma vie a litteralement changéée, il aura fallu 3mois pour que les crises diminuent de plus de moitiéé et 6mois pour quelles disparaissent. Clare ma aidéé a mettre en place un programme personnaliséé et a suivi la progression. Je n'arrive pas a y croire mais j'ai maintenant une jument qui respire normalement et surtout que ne se deplace plus les cervicales chaque jour. Bref je remercie Equine Breathing pour m'avoir donner la solution qui a changé la vie de ma jument et qui m'a permis de retrouver le gout de monter

Lorraine's mare had been head shaking for nearly 2 years and was unrideable.

Delilah is a different horse since using the breather and to see that she is no longer suffering with this distressing condition is wonderful.

…had a lovely hack (on Saturday), went out again on Sunday, again had a symptom free relaxed hack. Delilah is now out late afternoon, all night and in during the day. She is wearing the AW in her stable during the day and I hear she is very relaxed. Yesterday it was lovely so I took her for a short hack on our own, again she was symptom free and very relaxed. This is a monumental improvement, this time last year she was unrideable and in a huge amount of discomfort.

Derby's symptoms were breathing difficulties, a persistent cough, no energy, head shaking and his immune system always seemed to be down. "He was such an adrenaline junky and had been since I got him. He also had nearly all the symptoms described for horses that breathe wrongly" (in “Over breathing signs to look for” in issue 4 of ‘Horse Breather’ eg dislikes being groomed ).I have to say I have a new horse or a normal horse now. No one would know it is the same horse at all. There have been a ton of improvements
