The Medicine Horse
Medicine Horse Practitioner Halliday Walsh spends a chunk of her work day visiting clients. Preparation is often done in the car. Here, before she leaves her driveway, she checks her work sheets which include notes about the client horse she took during a phone conversation with the owner, and an acupressure plan.
Halliday meets Mariko, the owner of Jewel, the equine patient. Mariko has some reservations and skepticism about holistic healing, but agrees to try it out nevertheless. (Halliday is holding a sheet with an equine acupressure chart and notes about Jewel.)
After the session, Halliday checks with Mariko, who seems relieved and more convinced of the effectiveness of Halliday's healing methods. They agree on one more visit and possibly a phone call to check up.

Geomancy And The Equine Labyrinth
The Butterfly Equine Labyrinth, where Medicine Horses walk with humans to help to assist them in healing. Penny has installed one of her paintings (the turquiose square) in the center for the duration of the session
A scrawny tree in the northeastern corner is one of the anchors that holds a special meaning to Penny and helps her navigate through the Chiron field during her sessions.
Sorento enters the center of the Butterfly Labyrinth after a walk with another participant, and inspects the portrait. He seems to approve, as he spends a good while standing next to it.
