The part of the human brain that recognizes smell is also very close to the part that regulates emotion. It's no wonder that when I want to be relaxed and happy I head to the barn. Only horse lovers can relate to this, but even the sweet smell of manure is soothing. There are many other aroma "triggers" for positive feelings like the smell of fresh hay, the leather tack iin my trailer. Even my truck cab has a horse aroma from our clothes after a ride.
The natural horse care products that I use with their essential oils are soothing. I hope those smells are soothing for the horses as well. Other horse owners know what I mean when I talk about sneaking a whiff at the horses neck. Is it any wonder that I smile just writing about my aroma therapy.
