Using the Oils Not all oils are the same and not all horses are the same. Picking oils or blends for your horse is up to you and to them. To see how well the horse will handle an oil, take a few drops in your palms. Rub them together and offer the oil to the horse. Let the horse decide if they will accept the oil or not. Never force an oil on your horse just because you are told that this is what your horse needs. Your horse needs to accept the oil. If the horse does not, you must go to another oil. Some oils are best used in massage while others are best diffused and some can be taken internally. When and how to use an oil will come with experience, so start slowly. Your confidence will rise when you see how well the horse responses. Sweet Basil is good for pulmonary, muscular, and emotional issues

Sometimes you will use fixed oils to dilute or carry the oils so they will go farther. Other times you can mix with water and alcohol to make misters.
