My fourteen year old daughter rides horses. When she got very sick this year, she says that horses saved her life. She fought her way back from an eating disorder, self harm, depression, and anxiety because she wanted to get back to this barn – C Stars, this horse – Lilly, and her coach – Courtney.
The nature and the physical labor of taking care of a horse helped her focus on what her body could do. The nurture of her coach and the horse helped her know that she was worthy.
