Photo above: On my first visit since their arrival, Tasha and Midnight came to check me out while I was cleaning the equine labyrinth.

Sequence above: Tasha, the older one, approached me, and asked for some balancing body work. It was a very gentle but very deliberate gesture: she came to me and positioned herself so her right side was within my reach.

Photo below: I started massaging her back, and we stood there in a peaceful formation, with Midnight supporting us from the center of the labyrinth for about half an hour until another horse from the herd came by and pronounced our healing session concluded.
