Equine Touch is a
non-diagnostic, non-invasive, energy and connective soft tissue discipline which
works at a complete holistic level; that is, it addresses the equine as a whole
without paying any particular attention to any named problem as such. On a
practical level it consists of a series of gentle moves performed over specific
points in predetermined patterns which are interspersed with waiting periods to
allow the equine to recognizes and process the effects of these subtle
procedures.

These procedures when
performed with accuracy, integrity and intent (A.I.I.) have the effect of
inducing deep relaxation, releasing hypertonic and traumatized muscles,
encouraging muscle tone recovery from injury and atrophy, reducing the pain
spiral, and assisting in detoxification and lymphatic drainage. The horse
through these series of gentle moves is trained to rebalance not only physically
but emotionally, energy blocks are released, unwanted structures appear to
dissolve, and the flow of Ki is stimulated through the meridians, allowing the
equine to attain and maintain the ideal state of homeostasis in which its own
innate healing power is able to work to its maximum potential.
The Equine Touch is quite
simply a discipline, a set of pre ordained procedures that the practitioner
applies to the horse no matter what problem the equine presents at the time. The
fact that the equine is able to deal with long standing problems after a session
of ET and that there is undeniably a remedial and therapeutic effect, wherein
the horse is, as a result of its own innate healing system, freely able to
process and ultimately dissolve unwanted structures while in the balanced state
of homeostasis.
The Equine Touch is not
designed or intended in any way in whole or in part to be a substitute for
orthodox allopathic veterinary practice. It is not a therapy as such but a
holistic gift to the equine which is as complementary to allopathic address as
it is to chiropractic, homeopathy and herbal medicine as well as the horses own
healing system.
