LionessaI have a very close friend here in Sacramento that owns a Mustang Rescue. She takes in though any animal in need. She also takes in kids who have no other place to go, helps them learn what it is to be Loved by pairing up children with a horse (one that has been either tamed or retamed of course) and having that child learn to take care of it.
It's an awesome sight to see....the Love in a childs eyes and the Love the horses have for these kids.
Alot of times when Grandma Alice gets a call, we never really know the shape of the horse until we get it or pick it up. So often they are abused and very distrustful of humans.
Besides being a medicine woman, she is what people call a horse whisperer. I have watched many times while she calmed down a wild horse and before you knew it had it where one of the 5 yr olds could get on with no fear of that child getting hurt. I have seen her actually kick her husband out of their bed to bring in to the ranch house a sick horse that she would sit up with often for days at a time until it gets better because it would be so cold outside.
I went to my first sweat lodge with her...talk about an experience!
I really feel blessed being able to work along side her in healings and working with the horses.
I will keep sharing pics here of the horses when I get time, and maybe post a few stories as well.
