Why This Horse Became Withdrawn

Meet DJ, a male horse – Mickie and Gavin are his humans

WHY THIS HORSE BECAME WITHDRAWN

FAYE’S VALIDATION

Note: the ‘Validation’ process in Faye’s sessions is evidence that Faye is genuinely communicating with the animal. She knows nothing about the animal except breed and age – and only has a photo to refer to.

DJ doesn’t get ridden much and is in a place where there isn’t much tree shade. Gavin is busy, and when he’s with DJ his mind is often on other things.

(Mickie – DJ’S human – confirmed the above)

THE PROBLEM (MICKIE’S PERSPECTIVE)

Mickie contacted Faye because DJ seemed to become strangely unresponsive, more shy than usual.

DJ’S CONVERSATION WITH FAYE

NEED FOR ATTENTION
DJ is emotionally very sensitive and has a strong feeling of resigned to ‘second best’. In the past he was never ‘put first, he was always the one who was thought of ‘last’ – like an after-thought. With the lack of attention and a feeling of loneliness, DJ is now pulling back, emotionally and losing interest in life. He has a strong but very HEAVY heart. While he’s an adult, it’s like he’s a child inside. A very lonely child.

PHYSICAL NEEDS
DJ feels tight around the chest and the shoulders. He needs more exercise. He also would like more tree shade.

DJ’S SOLUTIONS

DJ’s messages to Mickie & Gavin:

• QUALITY TIME RIDING
DJ would like dedicated quality time with full attention – especially with Gavin riding him.
Just walking is still good – it means DJ will have Gavin’s attention for longer!

• SHADE
More tree shade, please.

THE OUTCOME

Mickie said that, after the session, DJ was immediately given a really good grooming session and a ride! Gavin is now riding him more – and focusing on DJ during the ride. DJ now has access to more tree shade. DJ is so much happier and more responsive to his humans now.
