Highly-strung or stressed horses can benefit greatly from the soothing, calming effects of Reiki by helping them to relax and gain a sense of peace, making it particularly useful for horses who experience fear, aggression or anxiety. Because of its gentle nature Reiki can be highly beneficial for horses who have suffered abuse or emotional trauma by helping the horse to heal emotionally and spiritually.
Reiki can ease the dying process for horses through offering relief from pain, fear and anxiety. It also provides comfort and support, not only for the horse, but for it’s human companions as well.

Are there any negative side effects associated with Reiki treatments?
There are no negative side effects with Reiki. The Reiki energy balances
the energy systems according to the needs of the body. Being in balance
is the body’s natural state.
As a complementary therapy Reiki safely supports all other healing modalities, including Western medicine, and will complement any veterinary care your horse may be receiving. Reiki may also be utilised if you’d like to try a more natural approach to improving your horse’s health, or when your horse hasn’t responded to other treatments.
Reiki is not a substitute for veterinary care
Reiki treatments should not be construed as a substitute for veterinary examination, diagnosis or treatment.
You should see a qualified veterinarian for any physical ailment in your horse of which you are aware. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions nor do they prescribe or perform medical or veterinary treatment, prescribe substances, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical or veterinary professional.
