A horse named GEMINI

A Shetland x Welsh Cob Gelding

 

Gemini is a 19-year-old gelding sold multiple times and twice through horse markets. He was owned by gipsies for a while and used as a driving pony before being rescued by his current owner. Due to years of emotional deprivation, Gemini had become very fearful and panicked at loud noises or raised voices. His owner couldn't turn him out in the field with mares as he tended to chase them relentlessly. The owner wanted to build more stables but was worried about how any noise might affect the pony's nervousness.

After just four days of taking his self-selected remedies, and with unusual and unexpected windy weather causing minor structural damage to an area of the yard, Gemini remained poised and showed no signs of distress. Furthermore, after the first week of taking his selected remedies, Gemini could be turned out with the mares daily without displaying his usual male dominance. In his owner's words, he "behaved like a gentleman". The essential oil remedies Gemini self-selected seemed to have helped him regain some self-confidence and emotional strength.
