My Journey
Background
Hi, I’m Rose Conrad, Equine Complementary Therapist.
Complementary Therapies aid the body, mind and soul to repair, recover and restore health and well-being after injury, illness or a traumatic experience.
Qualifications
I am a fully qualified Complementary Therapist. I have been qualified since November 2005 with a National Certificate in Complementary Therapies Level 4. I have been working with natural therapies with my own horses since 1989.
Values
As an Equine Complementary Therapist I believe good health and well-being in any horse or pony is not only essential for them, but it helps to build a strong partnership and trust with their rider.
Whether you choose try Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Reiki or Herbal Remedies on you or your Equine best friend, you will be glad you did and thanked dearly as your horse or pony will feel happier, more relaxed, more willing to listen, learn and please.
Horses we've helped
Maggie
Maggie is a spritely young at heart quarter horse. She loves to work and learn new things. She is stocky, strong and very agile. Maggie can get very tight in her shoulders and rump, so after Reiki and Aromatherapy session she loves to kick up her heels around the round pen feeling good. Maggie can become spunky, moody and quite bossy at times mostly when in season. I give her herbal remedies to help her through these times.
Dolly
Dolly is an OTTB (off the track TB). I took her on as a 6-year-old. She had a leg injury, was anxious, is claustrophobic and wind-sucks. Today she is chilled out, doesn’t react to things as much. We are still working on the small spaces and wind sucking, which is becoming less and less. Kind of like a heavy smoker smoking less to what she used to. She too loves her Reiki sessions, Bach Flower Remedies and Herbal treatments.
Zippy
Zippy is an aging but young at heart quarter horse. An old hand at having Reiki, he likes to tell me where and when he needs Reiki to be done. I cannot get his saddle on if he has any back pain until he has had his Reiki session. Years ago Zippy had a sarcoid (Benign Tumor) in his eye lid which the vet wanted to cut out. But hang on, he is a horse not a lizard, and he needs his eye lid! I asked the vet at the time what the deficiency was and she didn’t know so I did my own research and discovered it was copper. I added herbs to his feed and within one month it was gone but his coat was covered in white spots. This indicated to me that there was toxicity in his blood. Again I added herbs to his feed to cleanse his blood and herbal diuretics to flush his system. Now he is as good as new!
