Fergus’ Story

Fergus is a leopard Appaloosa gelding, thought to be in his early twenties. He was recently rescued by Tom and Brigette, who were heartbroken to see him in such terrible shape. However, they showered him with love and care, and his health improved significantly. Unfortunately, Fergus was still in a lot of pain, especially in his hindquarters. A detailed check-up revealed severe arthritis in his stifles, with his right hind leg being the worst.

In an effort to alleviate his discomfort, both of Fergus’s stifles were treated. Yet, even after several weeks, he was still struggling. He often couldn’t put weight on his right hind leg, had trouble getting up, and couldn’t move around well. His owners even considered euthanasia, but before making such a hard decision, they decided to try bodywork.

I was initially doubtful about how much I could help Fergus, given the extent of his issues. In our first session, I was stunned at how tense and sensitive his entire body was. Gradually, Fergus started to relax and enjoy the massages. He even began greeting me with a nicker and a newfound spark in his eyes. As he became more comfortable, we introduced PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy to his routine. The results were amazing! Fergus started walking normally, playing, lying down easily, and even standing comfortably for the farrier – things he hadn’t done since his arrival.

Fergus’s transformation has been incredible. It’s a powerful testament to how bodywork can not only enhance a horse’s quality of life but even save it from the brink of euthanasia.
