My "trainer"....geeze that sounds a bit uppidy :roll: suggested that I let my colt choose an essential oil for his emotional issues...I brought out about 18 bottles of eos.....and he chose rose and oak moss......I had to let him sniff some coffee grounds about midway through....It wasn't something i would have ever thought up on my own and i was a bit sceptical regarding the entire operation....... :shock: ........he was VERY definate as to what he liked......I thought perhaps he was about to come up with an exquisite new perfume! it has been too soon to see if they have had a positive effect yet, but the whole process was pretty fascinating and thought perhaps i would throw this out here and see if anyone else has worked with horses or other animals in this way. patrice
