079- How to Balance Your Horse
The Balanced Horse Project™ recognizes the lack of answers, research, and resolutions referring to the conflicted horse. Natural, positive body changes, using empirical standards of investigation, research, and double blind testing, validated theories forming facts.
Founder, Patricia Cleveland merged her equestrian interests with experience, experimentation, and study, to define the independent science of Equilology™. Removing artificial elements and utilizing organic resources to transform injured or traumatized horses. Advanced body improvements beyond established standards required further investigation.
Patricia is an innovative thinker, who has developed her own system of universal body balancing. Techniques and protocols reshape the understanding of the self-healing body. Releasing the physical stress promotes resistant free relationships.
Patricia instinctively knows how to positively influence a horse in work, without the use of artificial means; drugs, shoes, or expensive equipment. Watching her work, defies logic while illustrating a connection using invisible words shared with intelligent self-aware animals, who know exactly where it hurts.

078- Healing with Essential Oils
Crystal Parrot is a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. The Young Living Company produces essential oils that are natural home remedies and are great for use as alternative medicine. These essential oils offer a remedy for everything from migraines and back pain to fever and sickness. By using these natural home remedies, you can ensure you’re participating in your new vivacious lifestyle. With these alternative medicines, anything is possible.
One of the treatments used on people and horses is the raindrop technique. The Raindrop Technique is a relaxing therapeutic procedure where essential oils are dropped six inches onto your hooves, spine and neck. Because the oils are dropped onto the skin like raindrops, that is how this technique got its name. This is a very relaxing procedure that pushes out occasional stress and minor anxiety that a horse may experience from everyday overwork and fatigue. The essential oils connect with the electric field of the individual as the drops penetrate through the pores of the skin. This allows the enhancement of the oils’ electromagnetic properties to gently soothe away tension and helps relax muscles. This technique is a form of homeopathy that was created by Gary D. Young.

Breast Cancer Survivors Benefit from the Magic Healing of Horses with Riding Beyond
Trish Broersma was introduced to a breast cancer survivor rehabilitation program developed by Catherine Hand, a PATH International advanced therapeutic riding instructor. Catherine’s rehabilitation program is based on her own experience with breast cancer treatment side effects. Catherine was dying from the results of drugs used to treat breast cancer. Through interacting with her own horse, she was able to reverse the side effects of the drugs.
Trish was profoundly moved by Catherine's experience and returned from Prescott inspired to offer a similar program to women of the Rogue Valley and named it Riding Beyond. She enhances the California program with activities with the horses that nurture the human spirit, based on her many years of work in human development with Jean Houston and Peggy Rubin, and her explorations into the horse/human relationship through liberty training. Listen to Trish as she shares the wonderful stories of healing through the Riding Beyond program.
