I know I can figure this out on my own, but COTH is always my resource for good horse care info, so I figured it’d be a good place to ask this.
I’m writing a novel (a western) and my protagonist is a “horse healer” of sorts (and a con-artist of sorts as well, lol). She’s scanning the town for a horse that will be good to demonstrate her healing skills on to drum up some business. She has nothing with her at the time, just her own two hands (there’s a reason for this I won’t bother y’all with). So, I’m thinking something along the lines of massage or a chiro adjustment technique or myofascial release…something along those lines. I want it to be legit(ish) and for it to be effective enough at helping the horse that people can see the improvement immediately.
Any ideas on what she could do? Also, what would be signs in the horse that it needs her help?
I just thought it’d be interesting to see what ideas COTH could come up with for this. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
