Before and After Energy Treatment

1. Note how the horses front legs are standing back underneath him and how wide apart they are. It looks like it is an effort just to hold himself up. The hindlegs are close together and not really doing much to support the horse. The overall feel is that the horse is lethargic and depressed

The same horse a few months later he is standing much taller in front. He looks much stronger all over and looks a lot happier.
2. A before photo of a horse treated by of my students.

The same horse 24hrs after the treatment - note the softness and the fullness of the muscles around the shoulders and how much the dip in the front of the whither has come up. The horse has a pretty soft look and feel about it ‘s whole demeanor now.

"Universal Energetic Mind & Body Work"
is one of the most empowering and effective healing therapies available today, opening up potential for all possibility. It is so old that it is new again and is available for everybody to learn.

It is a process of channelling Universal Energy to balance the energy flows within the body. Energy or Chi as it is known in eastern cultures is the source of all life. It makes up the universe, the planet and all matter including our physical bodies. In states of disease (dis-ease) these energy flows are out of balance, leading to illnesses, infections, viruses. Unequal muscle tension patterns develop pulling the skeleton out of alignment and the internal organs becoming compromised are therefore not able to function optimally. All of this causes pain, discomfort and dysfunction in the body leading to resistance and the impossibility for the horse to perform or behave as we would like.

Most people have no idea of the extent to which physical problems are the cause of their horsemanship troubles. You will learn to read the many tell tale signs on the body which indicate problems that are going on internally and become aware of how poor conformational and postural traits affect horses. Most of these are usually overlooked as being the instigators of behavioural or performance problems, as with traditional thinking these things are usually just accepted as “the way it is” and simply put down to old age, unpreventable wear and tear, or genetics. They are usually deemed irreversible and something that just has to be lived with, but this is not the case and you can learn to start changing these things yourself. Your horse will love you for it and this treatment is very easy to learn.

Universal Energetic Mind & Body Work works on people too. You will be able to free up your own body so that you can be more fluid, have better balance, better co-ordination and feel and think clearer, all essential for excellence with horses.

About Tony Robinson
Growing up around horses, living in the bush and working stock, I started my first horses under saddle and started shoeinghorses from the age of 12. I have been involved with many facets of the horse industry from campdrafting and stockwork to training racehorses, and starting young and difficult horses. I was always lookingfor and easier ways to train horses and get betterperformance either to be able to keep horses going all day for big days stock work or to get horses running faster.

Training horses can be hard work when there is a lot of resistance in them. I believed that it was possible that they wanted to interact with people so in my search to find out why they had troubles I started looking at their bodies. Beginning with chiropractic, I moved on to using lasers, then EMRT, and now I have developed a unique and subtle Energy and Body Work treatment. I discovered that when problems were treated at an energetic level, then the cause of the problem was cured, resulting in the treatments being even more effective and longer lasting.

I treat horses of all disciplines from hacks, dressage horses and jumpers to campdrafters, cutters and racehorses. Anybody can easily learn to do what I do so I have started to teach people how to treat their own horses and themselves.

Horses can hold onto so many emotions and have so many physical restrictions in their bodies that it can make training and performance almost impossible. Some horses are over sensitive in their bodies while others are shut down and lack impulsion and sensitivity. These physical and emotional issues can be balanced out through bodywork.

I like to approach horsemanship from two perspectives. Good training which stems from a trusting and compassionate relationship with clear consistent communication and the horse being ridden in a biomechanically correct way combined with releasing the physical and emotional issues that are restricting the horses or causing them problems.

Usually if it takes more than 3 training sessions for a horse to make a significant change, there is more than likely a physical or emotional issue at the heart of the problem. For example, getting a horse to accept the saddle, once a horse is trusting the human it shouldn’t take them long to get used to a saddle and you sometimes hear of horses who always buck when they are saddled. One of the key elements for prey animal survival is the ability to quickly adapt. So horses should be able to learn to accept the saddle quite quickly. It stands to reason then that horses that are always difficult and sensitive to saddle might have something more than a prey animal behaviour problem. Learning to treat and assess your horse’s body can therefore be an essential ingredient of your horse training program. If your horse is not performing and using his body as athletically as should it is very likely that he will be physically restricted in his body.

To the left are some before and after photos of horses who have been treated and the improvement in their performance potential is clearly evident by their change in posture or conformation.
