A HORSE CALLED DIAMOND

"It has been my greatest honour to be in the presence of the horses at Equinox. My experiences was like something out of a movie. Never did I imagine that a horse would be my therapy. Six months ago my life was in turmoil, I have experienced abuse in every possible way that exists. My home was my prison and absolutely everything was dictated to me by my ex-partner. I had no life worth living for. I was always afraid of the next day and didn’t dare to put my foot outside my door even when I got a chance. Coming to Equinox and meeting a special horse I named Diamond, I still had the same fears, little did I know that Diamond would teach me how to be brave again. I remember seeing Diamond on the other side of the fence and wanting to come out. After asking permission, I let him out. I felt a sense of freedom helping him get out. Another day I dared to step over to his side of the fence and again I felt a deep sense of bravery and freedom. At times he was eating while I tried to get his attention and he wouldn’t stop eating – this taught me how to see to my needs first and value myself enough to know that I am worth it. Diamond taught me patience, bravery, to step out to the world again and self-love. Thank you Diamond for trusting me to touch you, hug you, kiss you and adding joy to my life’s journey. I am very grateful for the time our two ladies at Equinox spent in working with me and helping me heal." (Women Trauma Survivor, 2018)
