Strength from Horses

Last week I participated in horse therapy, led by Belle Shook in Cottonwod, AZ. It wasn’t the first time I had experienced the sentient power of horses, but it was the most impactful. Horses sense our vibration—what we are wordlessly thinking and feeling—and they respond.

My greatest gift was the moment when the three horses lined up behind me. Overwhelmingly, a feeling came over me that I was safe—that they “had my back.” It was the first time I had experienced that feeling since my husband died. It was a void that I had not acknowledged.

Emotions are powerful. Maybe this is a good day to acknowledge what’s going on with you and look around for helpers.

You write it: Have you ever derived strength from horses? What was it like?
