Creative project clip The Healing Horse (2016 large creative piece)

‘May he spread his healing powers with every beat upon the ground’ 

The Healing Horse represents my interpretation of the Plains Medicine Wheel of many Indigenous cultures, which includes the Seven Grandfather Teachings. The Medicine wheels provide us with strength and can be used to help understand things that we can’t quite see or understand why they happened. The Healing Horse carries on him all of the seven grandfather teachings plus many more native American war horse symbols relating to valuable teachings and spiritual strength. These are useful for everyday life, purity and healing. 

“When you are in doubt, be still, and wait. When doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still. Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists - as it surely will. Then act with courage.” - White Eagle

I would like to say a special thank you to everyone that has believed in me and taken an interest in my work, as well as clients who have allowed me to refine techniques by choosing me to work with your horse. I couldn’t have done it without you.
