“The horses really helped me to just surrender. Being with the horse helped me to just breathe and to allow myself to just be with the horse and trust that the horse was going to be right there and we're safe. I felt safe with the horse. So the horse helped me to just be in my body and present and breathe, and I would just connect with the horse and it was just that calm that came over me to help me to allow myself just to feel comfort for just a moment and to let go of being in control and looking and being hyper vigilant. - Yvonne Prosser Crist”
