The Emotion Code

Horses remember. Weaning, transport, a change of herd, injury or hard training can leave an emotional imprint that shows up as anxiety, resistance or a horse that just seems stuck.

The Emotion Code is a gentle energy healing method that uses muscle testing to identify “trapped emotions” and release them. Pair it with bodywork for true whole-horse care.
