Essential Oils for Horses: The Language of Scent and Connection
Essential oils are far more than just pleasant fragrances; they are carriers of information, energy, and stillness. Horses experience the world through their senses, and their sense of smell is a direct gateway to their nervous system and emotional world. Discover how to use aromatherapy—not as a quick fix or a "trick," but as a meaningful language to connect with your horse on a deeper level.
