Read All About It ~ Anna’s Q & A Response:
Q:Dear Anna,
I am really learning alot from your Reiki for Horses DVD. In the video, you say that when you are offering Reiki do not use horsemanship but I have been seeing two horses owned by a lady who are head butting. She has had both horses since they were young. The gelding is 5yrs and the mare 10 yrs. Both horses are good natured but have not been exercised and live together in a pasture. They tell me they like it there but get bored and want more contact with their guardian (she feeds each day). Both horses butt their heads at her and try to butt me when standing. On my first visit they both wanted and received Reiki…the mare totally relaxed and closed her eyes; the gelding relaxed a little but wanted to play around. 2nd visit was a very cold winter day with snow and wind and the horses did not seem as interested but received better from a distance.
How do I deal with being quiet and offering Reiki while the horse is butting his head at the guardian who is holding him with a lead rope. Also the gelding is very food aggressive with hay on the ground and chasing the mare who is submissive.
Thanks so much for your assistance,
A:Hi Jane,
You ask very valuable questions and I wish to share my answers in our newsletter for others to learn from also:
Please realize that safety is the first priority and you may have misunderstood my statement in the DVD. When I refer to not using corrective horsemanship this means that if we were to enter a stall and begin to reprimand the horse to either stay out of our space (eyes on eyes, shoulders square etc), stand back, stand still and not move we have immediately come in with a degree of dominance. This type of restriction will shut down many horses changing their willingness to communicate freely.
Additionally, as healers, we are not there to change behavior, but instead create a platform for the horses to feel comfortable to express themselves. Instead of modifying behavior we ask for manners, thereby keeping ourselves safe. Manners includes certain boundaries, but is not classed as “schooling” a horse. Instead of defaulting to negative reinforcement and punishment we look to create a place of safety and freedom of expression, which can get handled differently. If we were to respond to all inappropriate behaviors the horses would no longer have voices to share with us where it hurts or where our hands are needed. Instead we can avoid (move out of the way), ignore (extinction) or mildly correct (to encourage the right behavior such as patience and focus) to allow for the energy to take effect. There is a difference. You cannot one minute state to do it your way and the next expect them to trust you and be willing to open up.
Horses will often reflect their legal guardians behaviors and you may find them more relaxed if you were to ask her to stand back and watch. Behavior can be exaggerated if she doesn’t have their respect, or reflected if this message is for her. Without proper space or exercise horses can be known to be boisterous. If they are bored, they may see this time of interaction as entertainment.
Create a safe place for yourself. Think about removing one of the horses and allowing them to be lose in an enclosure so you may read the acceptance of Reiki and their expressions. You can keep a lead rope on them if they aren’t fully familiar with you and let it hang over your arm (as in the DVD). If the horses are food aggressive set yourself up for success and don’t expose yourself to this situation. As with Reiki on ourselves, we have to create a place of relaxation and it would not be around the food.
Enjoy all that Reiki and animal communication bring to you.
Anna

There are foals who need you! Learn how you can help in a number of ways!
A note from the Founder:
More than 35 years of my life have been spent around horses and a number of those in the Thoroughbred industry. The farms and ranches I personally engaged in the race industry are highly reputable and most certainly have the horses at heart. At no time had I come across inappropriate weaning or mishandling of mares and foals. Never before had I heard of such horrific acts as in the past 18 months when 2 young nurse foals attended our foals in training clinic. My world changed forever.
I had always supported the wild horses, together with Premarin mares and their off-spring, now it was time to shed light onto an industry that had remained under cover for decades. As soon as my mind was made up a rescue situation appeared. I made it my mission to team up with 3 reputable rescue organizations to save the lives of a number of mares and their foals or orphaned foals. Realize that our statements relate to those centers who are not in alignment with responsible breeding and as such we are helping those horses. At no time are we making the statement that all facilities take this same kind of action, however it is a fact that foals and/or nurse foals are destined for slaughter, pony skins, live transportation abroad and are even considered a delicacy in some countries. We are unable to expose this particular rescue for then we would not be able to support the horses and their lives would remain at risk only making things worse. Please know that our intentions are only for the good of the horses.
Anna Twinney
Equine Professionals are Joining Forces to Rescue Foals Destined for Slaughter
and Reveal Horse Racing’s Dirty Secret.
A combined effort is currently underway to rescue horses and foals in immediate need of assistance. Significant progress has been made but help is needed as the group embarks on phase two of the rescue.
A team of equine professionals have come together to save the lives of mares, in foal, as well as foals torn from their mothers, in an industry, connected to horse racing, but unfamiliar to most – the nurse foal industry. Reach Out to Horses, based in Colorado, is playing a crucial part in these efforts.
Once the foals are rescued they will be fostered and then gentled in the third annual Foal Gentling Clinic, April 23 – 28, 2013, under the careful tutelage of International Equine Behaviorist and Clinician, Anna Twinney.
The training, taking place in East Haddam, CT, is designed to give the rescued foals all the advantages needed for a quick adoption and a second chance at life.
Foaling season, for this industry, is now upon us. Many resources are needed in order to insure that the foals get to safety, and get the critical, labor intensive care necessary to their very survival.
People interested in helping can get involved in a number of ways:
- Donations are being accepted at reachouttohorses.com
- Sponsor a mare/foal
- Foster a mare/foal
- Adopt a mare/foal
- Organize a Fundraising event
- Spread the word through media coverage and public awareness
- Attend the dinner and silent auction! April 11th, Denver, CO!
Attend the 6-day Reach Out to Horses (ROTH) Foals in Training course as a spectator for just $300, April 23 – 28, 2013.

Anyone can whisperer with the horses, they’re whispering all the time!
It’s Dynamite to help your horse’s stomach.
The air is crisper, the leaves are changing, and soon the ground will become firm and covered in frost. As winter and cooler weather approaches, it becomes critically important that barn and farm dwelling animals are able to maximize nutrient absorption. While the quality of grass, hay, forage and soil decreases entering the freezing months, including or increasing Dyna Pro® prebiotic is of the utmost importance.
Naturally occurring gut bacteria are responsible for much of the digestive process including the production of vital enzymes which help break down and assimilate food. Dyna Pro is a biological feed additive designed to maximize digestive efficiency by nourishing the natural, good gut bacteria and encouraging them to reproduce and multiply. Over the years, and especially during winter months, environmental toxins increase, forage quality and food availability decrease, and stress remains high, which affects the digestion and physiology of animals.
Gretchen Topel, Silver Director, says, “Our soils, our hay and pasture, our water and air just ‘ain’t’ what it used to be even say 20 years ago… In just the past month I have gone through a crash course in absorption… You can feed all the wonderful Dynamite supplements, the most pristine pasture, and the best of the best hay to a horse, but if the horse cannot ABSORB the nutrients, we have a major problem on our hands!” Including Dyna Pro in your daily feed ration will ensure your animals are getting the most out their feed, even though the quality may have decreased due to colder weather or other environmental changes.

ROTH Instructor, Brack, brings up an uncomfortable subject.
Braxton brings to light something many of us like to over look or don’t know we should be paying attention.
Brack and the Bean Talk
I am a holistic horse trainer and horseback riding instructor by trade. Over the years I have noticed male horses with behavioral issues that have caused them to be labeled as barn sour, herd bound, and in some cases dangerous. These behaviors are including but not limited to bucking, refusal of the saddle, refusal to pick up hind feet, inability to stride out, or balking all together. I am frequently asked to evaluate these horses to determine the underlying cause. What I have found in many instances is that the horse is in pain. I use the motto, “No training in pain.” So, this led me to pin point the cause of the behavioral issues. I have found a remedy by checking stallions and geldings for a dirty sheaths and the development of beans. Yep you got it I’m talking about good penile hygiene exams.
So, what is a bean and what constitutes a smegma filled or dirty sheath??? Let me break it down for you.
Smegma is a substance made up of dead skin cells and sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that is secreted by the horse. The skin cells mix with the sebum to form smegma. Some horses secrete more sebum than others so their smegma can be very grease like. Others can merely show dry flaky skin. This substance is natural and normally won’t cause issues. However if allowed to build up I have found will cause discomfort, irritation, and swelling of the sheath, also known as the prepuce.
A bean is a localized depositing of the secreted oil and dead skin that fills the sinus or cavity on the dorsal side of the urethra on the penis. This cavity is also called the urethral fossa. The bean can grow in size from a small pea to the size of a walnut. The smaller beans are usually gray in color and soft like clay. The bigger beans grow hard and darken to black in color. If the bean is big enough it can put pressure on the underlying urethra causing the urine stream to fan out and splatter like a crimped hose.
As a man it is hard not being anthropomorphic here, so I will say this. If the horse is uncomfortable it is not about you. Some horses do fine with some build up where some are more sensitive and experience discomfort with only a small amount. The same is true for the bean.
The rule of thumb for me is if the horse is cranky and he needs to be cleaned then I recommend doing so. I also, as a preventative measure, recommend checking your stallions and geldings at least once a year. If you have your horses’ teeth checked/floated once a year by your veterinarian this is also a good time to check for a bean.
As I mentioned above you can have your veterinarian help you with this as he/she can give the sedative which causes the horse to drop its penis all the way out which aids in the cleaning process.
However, if you are an experienced horseperson you can attempt this yourself if you feel that you can keep yourself safe. If you have any question at all, call your vet because you can do more harm than good to you and your horse. I will speak more about that later on here. But first let me tell you how it is done without sedation.
The first thing you want to find out is if your horses will allow you to touch his sheath without kicking your head in. I should say here that I always recommend wearing a helmet but it is insane not to wear one during this exercise.
I like to check to see if I’m safe by using an extension of my arm. You can get really fancy and build one of these with very little effort. Basically I have a stick with a glove attached to the end. I use this to “feel” if you will the reaction that the horse will make when I touch his sheath. I would rather have the fake arm kicked to bits than my real arm. If the horse is touchy I spend time desensitizing him to the touch. When he shows me that it is ok to feel around down there, I move on to the next step.
The next step is to make sure he is ok with water touching his sensitive areas. You can do this in one of two ways. The first way is to take a bucket of warm water and a very soft towel. Soak the towel and gently apply to the sheath while squeezing out the warm water. The second way, if you feel that he will not like the water, is to use a hose with a gentle stream of warm water so that you don’t have to be underneath him.
Once you know that he is ok with the water you can either use one of the sheath cleaning formulas available on the market, ojor mild liquid dishwashing soap. I like to lather the outer and inner sheath and let it soak for a few minutes to help break up the oily build up. Then I begin to gently remove the smegma either with my hand or the soft towel. It is ok to rinse and repeat if necessary. However, especially if this is your first time, I recommend you do this in stages so that your horse doesn’t get upset and behavioral issues present themselves. It is imperative that when you are finished that you completely rinse the sheath free from cleanser as it can cause irritation if left too long.
If you think you are done you aren’t. We haven’t talked about how to check for a bean, and if you find one how to remove it. So here begins the tricky part. If you are lucky during the sheath cleaning and your horse relaxes and drops out his penis you have won the equivalent to the lotto. I know it doesn’t sound like a million bucks, but it makes things so much easier. If in fact he does drop or extend his penis outside of the sheath you can gently grasp the end of it with one hand and examine with the other.
With the penis extended you can easily look and feel for a bean. Again, it will be located above the urethra, the tube that he urinates from. Once you have located the tube look above it and you will find a little pocket. In this pocket you will most likely find a bean. I like to use the end of my finger to coax the bean out. Sometimes it is necessary to take the bean out in pieces.
If he doesn’t drop out his penis and you feel adventurous you can stick your hand gently up inside the sheath into the little pocket that houses the penis and feel for the end. This is hard to do for the first time blind so I recommend you see what you are feeling for beforehand with a horse that has fully extended himself.
So, how do you know if this has alleviated your problems? Well, wait a couple days after cleaning him and see if the grouchy behavior comes to an end. I personally just finished cleaning one such individual who had been struck of the vet and the farrier list because of violent behavior. In fact the last time he had his feet and teeth done he had to be completely anesthetized. After cleaning his really dirty sheath he stands for the farrier like a lamb and the dentist floated his teeth with gentle sedation.
Some people will tell you that regularly cleaning sheaths is a bad practice and I tend to agree; accepting when the horse is in pain. When it comes to working with horses I prefer to be proactive instead of reactive. As always if you are unsure consult your equine veterinary practitioner.
