Zen - 09/02/04 04:42 PM
I nearly lost Zen on Tuesday. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif[/IMG]
Zen is my beloved Andalusian mare that I rescued over 4 years ago from a breeder, she came to us half starved with terrible injuries, and it took many months of TLC to heal her leg.

I was about to head off for training when I "felt" I had to go and see her urgently. I have had these "feelings" before many times regarding her [and Merlin her colt] and usually it is because she needs me to rescue her from something.
There was definitely something wrong, she was in great pain and was throwing herself on the ground and rolling about with severe colic symptoms.
I tried a couple of things and knowing that she wouldn't respond for at least an hour of more I went off to teach the juniors class. I sent reiki for her - I tried unsuccessfully to give her reiki directly but she was so stressed out that she kept throwing herself on the stones around the gateway of the paddock.
I came straight back home after teaching to see how she was, mercifully she was now out of pain and peacefully grazing, I continued checking throughout the night and she remained well, so I think we had a very close call.
The sudden onset of whatever caused her colic was a real surprise.
It's been a stressful week, and I'm glad its all ok now.
Even though it is dark the sun still shines.
