Beech
Beech
Bach Flower Beech, or Fagus sylvatica, is often used to address intolerance, criticism, and judgmental attitudes towards others.
Here's how Beech might be applied for both horse and rider:
For Horses:
Sensitivity to Handling: Some horses may exhibit signs of irritability or resistance during handling or grooming sessions due to discomfort or previous negative experiences. Beech can help to reduce sensitivity and promote a more relaxed response to handling.
Difficulty with New Riders: Horses that have difficulty adjusting to new riders or handlers may benefit from Beech to ease any feelings of resentment or resistance towards unfamiliar individuals.
Agitation in Group Settings: If a horse becomes agitated or tense when surrounded by other horses or in busy environments such as competitions or trail rides, Beech can help to alleviate feelings of irritability and promote a more peaceful demeanour.
For Riders:
Critical Attitudes: Riders who struggle with critical attitudes towards their horse or others in the equestrian community can benefit from Beech to cultivate a more tolerant and compassionate mindset.
Impatience with Training: Riders may experience frustration or impatience during training sessions, particularly if their horse is not responding as expected. Beech can help to reduce judgemental attitudes and promote a more patient and understanding approach.
Resentment Towards Other Riders: In competitive settings, riders may harbour feelings of resentment towards their competitors or judges, leading to tension and stress. Beech can help to alleviate these negative emotions and foster a more positive and supportive attitude towards others.
