Helping animals reconnect with their innate ability to self-select healing plants, herbs, and botanical remedies for optimal physical and emotional wellness.
"Given the opportunity and choice, animals will always choose wellness — both physical and emotional."
We believe every animal holds an innate wisdom for healing. Our role is simply to offer the right choices and trust the animal to lead the way.
You know your horse better than anyone. You notice when something's off — the tension, the reluctance, the behaviour that doesn't quite make sense. But what if you could go deeper? What if your horse could actually show you exactly what they need to thrive, be happier, and perform better?
In the wild, horses didn't wait for a vet. They grazed across diverse pastures, instinctively selecting specific plants and herbs — not just because of hunger, but because their body directed them toward what it needed. A stressed herd member sought out one plant. An animal in pain found another. This isn't random. It's ancient intelligence, encoded at a biological level.
Zoopharmacognosy is the formal study of this behaviour — from the Greek zoo (animal), pharma (remedy), and cognosy (knowing). In short: animals know their own medicine.
Domestication hasn't erased this instinct. It has simply removed access to the pharmacy. A Select Equine Energetics session restores that.
In a session, your horse is offered a carefully curated range of essential oils, floral waters, dried botanicals, and plant extracts, alongside muscle-testing and energy work. Through scent, approach, and body language, they select what resonates — and communicate, with remarkable clarity, where they are holding tension, trauma, grief, or pain.
You'll see it work before you can explain it.

A gentle, intuitive process centred around your animal's natural instincts and individual needs.
We begin with a thorough physical and behavioral assessment of your animal to understand their unique needs and history.
Your animal is offered a curated range of essential oils, herbs, and botanical remedies, supported by kinesiology muscle testing and energy work. They guide the session by choosing what resonates with them.
We monitor body language changes, discuss findings, and provide guidance on continued support for lasting results.
"This practise gives language and form to what we already know. Horses are not problems to be solved or diagnosed, but partners to be heard."
"Louise has been nothing but amazing with the My Lovely Horse Rescue animals, her knowledge, love and care is astounding. We have witnessed unbelievable transformations from our animals after a few sessions with Louise. One in particular, a pony, has been through serious trauma took to Louise's methods immediately, it was astounding. We at My Lovely Horse Rescue can't say enough great things about this person, she clearly cares so much about animals and it shows by how quickly they relax in her presence."
"It's hard to explain how incredible it is to watch your horse with Louise. My horse can be anxious, but by the end of their time together, he was sleeping in her hands. It's truly an unbelievable experience. Louise not only understands animals, but she knows how to listen to them, giving them the things they need to help themselves. Their reaction to her is unlike anything I've ever seen. I highly recommend."
"My yearling Holly went through wire fencing. Her legs were cut, her joints were swollen and her nerves were shot. She was a mess. Louise arrived calm and prepared and after a thorough assessment proceeded to offer waters and oils. Immediately upon receiving, Holly relaxed. Louise took her time and really listened to her. She worked with Holly for what was actually going on. Within 2 hours Holly had completely relaxed and let go of the trauma and was eating and drinking normally again. Within 12 hours the swelling had gone down significantly. Within 24 hours it had almost gone completely and she was moving freely again. Her wounds have healed cleanly and evenly with the natural ointments provided. But it is the psychological aspect of Louise's work that set her method apart. She dealt with the whole horse and freed her of the trauma she had encountered so that Holly can move forward, unscarred physically and emotionally."
Every session is a unique, animal-led experience. Whether your horse is facing physical challenges, emotional disturbances, or you simply want to optimise their wellbeing — we're here to help.
Sessions are available in person and — for selected remedies and guidance — remotely.
