Willow
Bach Flower Willow is often recommended for both horses and riders who experience feelings of resentment, bitterness, or a sense of injustice. Here's how it can be applied to both:
For Horses:
Resentment Towards Handlers: Horses that feel mistreated or misunderstood by their handlers may exhibit signs of resentment or defiance. Willow can help to address these negative emotions and promote a more harmonious relationship between the horse and their caretakers.
Reactive Behaviour: Horses that react negatively to specific situations, such as being saddled or groomed, may be harbouring feelings of resentment or discomfort. Willow can assist in resolving these emotional issues and reducing reactive behaviour.
Adjustment to Change: Horses that struggle with changes in their environment or routine, such as moving to a new barn or being introduced to new pasture mates, may exhibit signs of resentment or resistance. Willow can support them in adapting to these changes more gracefully and without negativity.
For Riders:
Resentment Towards Horses: Riders who feel frustrated or resentful towards their horses, perhaps due to perceived disobedience or difficulties in training, can benefit from Willow to address these negative emotions and foster a more positive and understanding relationship with their equine partners.
Bitterness from Setbacks: Riders facing setbacks in their riding career, such as injuries, losses, or disappointments in competition, may experience feelings of bitterness or resentment. Willow can help them process these emotions and move forward with a more positive outlook.
Dealing with Unfair Situations: Riders who feel they have been treated unfairly in their equestrian pursuits, whether by judges, trainers, or peers, may struggle with feelings of resentment or injustice. Willow can support them in letting go of these negative emotions and focusing on their own journey.
When using Bach Flower remedies such as Willow for horses and riders, it's essential to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the appropriate dosage and administration method. These remedies are typically administered orally, either directly or by adding drops to the horse's or rider's water. Additionally, they are safe to use alongside other treatments and medications, providing a holistic approach to emotional well-being.
