My horse was lethargic and had no enthusiasm for riding or eating. Eric came to our barn. When he came to the staging area. He said there was extreme sadness with this mare. He said she had lost 5 colts at birth. How could he know that?  He advised me as a young woman to be in the stall with the horse and carry her, give her some carrots and plums and imagine how I would feel if I had lost 5 children at birth. Be with the mare several times feeling this for an hour each time. Within a week the horse was completely different. She was back to being her happy trail riding and playing with me as she had in the past before the last stillborn colt.
