Minnesota Equine Touch, LLC

Prior to the session, the practitioner may, depending on the reason for the session, want to see the horse move to be given an opportunity to observe any stated lameness or issue the horse is having. Equine Touch is non-diagnostic and the purpose of observation is not to diagnose any problem, but to note 'areas of concern' so that we may pay special attention to an area that may be posing a problem.

During an ET session, the practitioner will first introduce herself to the horse through touch. Once this is done, with the horse's permission, the application of the ET move in a specific pattern over the body will be applied to the horse. Wait times will be interspersed throughout the session to allow processing of the energy work that is being performed. The handler of the horse will be asked to hold the horse on a loose line and not touch or pet the horse during the session. Once the ET is completed, often times body stretching will be done.

People are usually quite interested in observing behaviors that are sometimes quite unusual for their equine friend. Once the session is complete, post session care will be discussed. Typically it is OK to do some light ground work with the horse or turn the horse out to exercise itself. It is best to not ride the horse right after a session unless the purpose of the session is a pre-competition tune-up.
