I just read about you I’m out local Test Valley magazine and was inspired to look at your website. What a heartwarming story. We have three beautiful horses opposite us who are looked after with great care and stabled in the winter. When my cat went missing two summers ago she was sighted in their field and for several evenings I sat there quietly calling to her. One of the horses seemed concerned and used to come over and gently nudge me on the shoulder as if reassuring me. They surely are intuitive and intelligent animals. Good luck on your continued journey with boots and PS my cat came back!

Hi Karen, thank you for your lovely comment and I am so pleased you have found it helpful. It certainly can be challenging yet hugely rewarding to work with horses that have been through any trauma but the PACE model gives us a great framework to support their healing – just remember to apply it to yourself in those challenging or despondent moments too and you will get there! With best wishes, Debbie 🙂

In reply to Debs. Thank you for your blog about Boots. I find it very inspiring especially as I am also trying to connect with a horse who’s had a troubled past. It certainly is an emotional rollercoaster, it’s easy to feel despondent when things aren’t going too well but I have more hope after reading of your experiences, I feel more determined to keep going and i’ll definitely be reading your next installment with much interest. Thank you.

In reply to Debs. Thanks Debbie, I’m glad you are enjoying the blog. Taking photo’s is certainly a challenge but she’s now come a long way since these were taken and loves a really good scratch!! :)

Brilliant blog Debbie, I just adore reading about this journey with Boots. The photographs of her allowing herself to be touched are just fantastic, a curious face rather than a grumpy one, well done!!
