My horse had sleep deprivation! 😲 #horsehealing #equinebodywork

Horse sleep deprivation is a medical condition where the horse fails to achieve its required daily 30 to 60 minutes of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. For humans, this is the period in which we enter deep sleep, and have dreams.

Bow had a lot of pain in his hind end, suffering from sacroiliac problems, as well as bed sores which made laying down extremely uncomfortable for him.

For many, the cure to sleep deprivation in their horses is elusive, and for some, it unfortunately never comes. Bow, however, had a happy ending.

Through exercise, a change in environment, bodywork, and improving his diet, I finally witnessed him lay down. It took several months to get there, but eventually, he finally felt safe enough to sleep!

To this day, Bow blissfully likes to snooze in the sand. It makes me very happy to see him have his horse dreams.
